Quotes of the Day
One of the most important things in chess is pattern recognition: the ability to recognise typical themes and images on the board, characteristics of a position and their consequences.
Magnus Carlsen 2010
A good sacrifice is one that is not necessarily sound but leaves your opponent dazed and confused.
Rudolf Spielmann
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 2016
I will be World Champion, if not now I will be World Champion later, but of course better now!
Sergey Karjakin 2016
Karpov Lost, Kasparov Lost, the Only One Who Remained Is Me.
