ADOUBE (j’)

” I adjust” – in French – the expression used when a piece is adjusted on its square without any intention to move it ‘officially’. Coming from Flemish, where it appeared as Schodop and later came into old Northern French as J’odeupe or J’adoube.

I have always a slight feeling of pity for the man who has no knowledge of Chess Siegbert Tarrasch
Carlsen will sooner or later become World Champion. I like him, he is a Monty Python fan, just like me. Vishy Anand

Chess is a foolish expedient for making idle people believe they are doing something very clever, when their are only wasting their time. Bernard Shaw
If I’m thinking for more than 20 minutes about one move, it’s usually a waste. Sometimes you can come up with some amazing solution but most of the time you just end up looping: you consider a move, you reject it, then you’re desperate, you come back to the move, you don’t remember why you rejected it, you have to make a move so you make it – then your opponent replies and you remember why you rejected it. The longest wait I ever did between moves was one hour and five minutes – and the move was horrible. Magnus Carlsen
