Quotes of the Day
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 2015
The winner of the game is the player who makes the next-to-last mistake.
Savielly Tartakower
It is not possible to become a great player without having learned how to analyse deeply and accurately.
Mark Dvoretsky
When Korchnoi was living in the USSR I called him ‘hero of socialist labour’; when he moved to the West I renamed him ‘hero of capitalist labour’!
Boris Spassky

Robert Fischer 1960
