Chess is respected in culture and education, but our organization is far behind. FIDE must lead, not drag chess down.
Garry Kasparov 2014
Tactics is what you do when there is something to do; strategy is what you do when there is nothing to do.
Savielly Tartakower
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
I think I am certainly more talented than many other people. But I don’t know what talent consists of.
Magnus Carlsen 2014
Chess is beautiful enough to waste your life for.
Hans Ree
