MAGYAR SAKKELET

A Hungarian magazine created in 1911 (under the name of Magyar Sakkvilag) and (apart from an interruption between 1919 and 1920) is still being published.

Botvinnik and Tal are among the best; I also like Spassky, but I think Petrosian is better than all of them. His weakness is too many draws, even against players he could beat easily. Maybe he lacks self-confidence. Robert Fischer
1960

Karpov is the official World Champion, but I’m not sure what that really means. Jan Timman
1993
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
I don’t particularly like being searched electronically. It is inconceivable that such a thing would happen in any other sport. It is fundamentally anti-chess, and I think the people who are behind this decision need their heads looked at! They are sick! They are ruining the very beauty that is chess. Nigel Short
