I think that ACP is a small clique, which gives power to more cliques.
Nigel Short 2016
Chess politic is not my dream, but I will be happy when we start to change things and organize a better chess life in the world.
Anatoly Karpov 2010
Chess is a game by its form, an art by its content and a science by the difficulty of gaining mastery in it. Chess can convey as much happiness as a good book or work of music can. However, it is necessary to learn to play well and only afterwards will one experience real delight.
Tigran Petrosian
We must finish once and for all with the neutrality of chess. We must condemn once and for all the formula “chess for the sake of chess”, like the formula “art for art’s sake”. We must organize shock brigades of chess-players, and begin immediate realization of a Five-Year Plan for chess.
Nikolai Vasilyevich Krylenko
Karpov Lost, Kasparov Lost, the Only One Who Remained Is Me.
