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.

‘We may all be equal in the eyes of the Lord, but in my eyes you are certainly not equal to me.’
Robert Fischer
“Chess is the struggle against the error.”
Johannes Zukertort
Some players lose ability to think independently and rely on computers completely.
Lajos Portisch 2012
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 2010
