One of the great weekly magazines from Switzerland which ran from 1979 until May 2003. The chief redactor was Werner Widmer.

Chess is my hobby. I have been playing chess since five years old. I like to play chess, to help chess, sponsoring chess, and attract my business friends to chess in order to develop and popularize chess. Everybody has a hobby. My hobby is chess, boxing and Buddhism. Kirsan Ilyumzhinov

Everything is very concrete nowadays. The computer often gives unnatural moves which are correct, but sometimes hard to remember. You know a line is correct, but then your forget something and lose terribly. Daniel Stellwagen

If the FIDe elections were not decided by the votes of the delegates but by the world’s chess society as a whole, there would not even be a competition. Anatoly Karpov

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
