Only the player with the initiative has the right to attack
Fame, I have already. Now I need the money.
Chess is not for timid souls.
I am fully and entirely concentrated on the board. I never even consider my opponent's personality. So far as I am concerned, my opponent might as well be an abstraction or an automaton.
Have you ever seen a monkey examining a watch?
Chess is so inspiring that I do not believe a good player is capable of haviong an evil thought during the game.
