When you see a good move, look for a better one
Emanuel Lasker
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
Chess is beautiful enough to waste your life for.
Hans Ree
Karpov is the official World Champion, but I’m not sure what that really means.
Jan Timman 1993
I’ve been playing chess professionally for 35 years! It’s a long time, and when people can still say that they enjoy my chess, that’s great.
