LIVERPOOL MERCURY

The first English newspaper to publish a chess column, which lasted from 9 July 1813 to 20 August 1814.

Karpov is the official World Champion, but I’m not sure what that really means. Jan Timman
1993

Of chess it has been said that life is not long enough for it, but that is the fault of life, not chess. Irving Chernev
Whatever opinions people might have about Ilyumzhinov, I am sure that exactly those accusations by the US authorities are far-fetched. It looks more like a revenge for the 2014 FIDE elections which Kasparov lost to Ilyumzhinov by a wide margin. Vladimir Kramnik

” The essence of chess is thinking about what chess is.” David Bronstein
