Quotes of the Day
For goodness’ sake, how could Kasparov, after all his matches against Karpov, support him in the FIDE President elections? What sort of unprincipled person do you have to be? I would never understand that.
Viktor Korchnoi 2012
We will note the openings used by the participants of a nine-round match. The age of openings is considerably higher than the age of both rivals. Some opening positions could be analyzed by Steinitz when he was preparing to his match with Zukertort.
Mikhail Tal 1966 (Petrosian-Spassky match)

Robert Fischer 1960

Garry Kasparov 2014
” Chess is most certainly not my life.”
Tony Miles
