The task of the positional player is systematically to accumulate slight advantages and try to convert temporary advantages into permanent ones, otherwise the player with the better position runs the risk of losing it.

Chess is not for timid souls.

Have you ever seen a monkey examining a watch?

I play my king all over the board. I make him fight!

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

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.

Fame, I have already. Now I need the money.
