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

I would rather die in America than live in England. I would rather lose a match in America than win one in England. I have come to the conclusion that I neither mean to die soon or to lose the match!

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

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.

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

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

Chess is not for timid souls.
