JIBBER

A fairy piece invented by C.D. Locock that moves like the Queen but halts at the square before the first man bars its path.

I detest the endgame. A well-played game should be practically decided in the middle-game! David Janowski
Botvinnik, Korchnoi and Kasparov had to hate the opponent to play successfully. I belong to a different type of chess players. I’m like Keres, Spassky and Portisch. On the board we fight, but in life we get along great. Anatoly Karpov

Chess is a game by its form, an art by its content and a science by the difficulty of gaining mastery in it. Chess can convey as much happiness as a good book or work of music can. However, it is necessary to learn to play well and only afterwards will one experience real delight. Tigran Petrosian
In the 70s Karpov was a darling of the Politburo or the political elite. So Kramnik is now. Just like the old days. But at least Karpov, unlike him, played in and won qualifying matches. Veselin Topalov
Do you realize, Fischer almost never has any bad pieces? He exchanges them, and the bad pieces remain with his opponents. Yury Balashov
