Everything is very concrete nowadays. The computer often gives unnatural moves which are correct, but sometimes hard to remember. You know a line is correct, but then your forget something and lose terribly.
Daniel Stellwagen 2010
Chess is a foolish expedient for making idle people believe they are doing something very clever, when their are only wasting their time.
