When you see a good move, look for a better one
Emanuel Lasker
Karpov, Kasparov, Korchnoi have absolutely destroyed chess by their immoral, unethical, prearranged games. These guys are really the lowest dogs around, and if people knew the truth about them, they would be held in more contempt than Ben Johnson, the runner, and they’re going to know the truth when I do this book!
Robert Fischer September, 1 1992
If the 12th game (from the match Carlsen-Karjakin)… were a restaurant dish, I would send it back to the chef.
Nigel Short 2016
I am a totally normal guy. My father is considerably more intelligent than I am.
Magnus Carlsen 2010
Now, at 51, in my life I have reach the stage between the middlegame and the endgame. But I don’t have the feeling that I am in the endgame already.
Boris Spassky 1988 NIC
