I spend hours playing chess because I find it so much fun. The day it stops being fun is the day I give up. Magnus Carlsen

Kirsan is the only president in the history of FIDE, and maybe in the history of all international federations, who has contributed dozens of million dollars for the sport he loves. By the way, some of these millions went directly to Anatoly’s pocket… George Makropoulos

” (about Lasker) For me, this personality, notwithstanding his fundamentally optimistic attitude, had a tragic note. The enormous mental resilience, without which no chess player can exist, was so much taken up by chess that he could never free his mind of this game, even when he was occupied by philosophical and humanitarian questions.” Albert Einstein
It’s always more difficult to hold the title than to get it. Vladimir Akopian
