I am not a chess historian - I myself am a piece of chess history, which no one can avoid. I will not write about myself, but I am sure that someone will write.

I have never in my life played the French Defence, which is the dullest of all openings

I may be an old lion, but I can still bite someone's hand off if he puts it in my mouth.

Capture of the adverse King is the ultimate but not the first object of the game

Chess is difficult, it demands work, serious reflection and zealous research.
