Karpov, Kasparov, Korchnoi have absolutely destroyed chess by their immoral, unethical, prearranged games. These guys are really the lowest dogs around, and if people knew the truth about them, they would be held in more contempt than Ben Johnson, the runner, and they’re going to know the truth when I do this book!
Robert Fischer September, 1 1992
” Oh, those exclamation points! How they erode the innocent soul of the amateur, removing all hope of allowing him to examine another player’s ideas critically!”
Tigran Petrosian
I understood that through chess I could express myself and chess became my natural language.
Boris Spassky 1995
Good players actually use their long-term memory much more than inexperienced players, who use their short-term memory. Good players try to recall patterns.
Magnus Carlsen 2016 2016
I detest the endgame. A well-played game should be practically decided in the middle-game!
David Janowski
