HUNTER

A Fairy chess piece invented by K. Schilz in 1943 that possesses the power of one piece when advancing and of another when retreating. No hunter can move laterally.

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

My relation with Korchnoi depends on whether he has slept well. If he had bad dreams, he speaks a lot of rubbish. Anatoly Karpov

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

A good sacrifice is one that is not necessarily sound but leaves your opponent dazed and confused. Rudolf Spielmann
Chess should not become an obsession. Otherwise there’s a danger that you will slide off into a parallel world, that you lose your sense of reality, get lost in the infinite cosmos of the game. You become crazy. Magnus Carlsen
