The king pawn and the queen pawn are the only ones to be moved in the early part of the game.

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.

The King is a fighting piece. Use it!

Chess is not for timid souls.

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

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

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