ROUND ROBIN TOURNAMENT

Also called “all play all.” A tournament where each competitor plays one game with every other competitor.

Ten years ago I said that 2010 would be the end, chess would be exhausted. But it is not true, chess will not die so quickly. Vishy Anand
2008
A game of chess has three phases: the opening, where you hope you stand better; the middlegame, where you think you stand better; and the ending, where you know you stand to lose. Savielly Tartakower
Tactics is what you do when there is something to do; strategy is what you do when there is nothing to do. Savielly Tartakower
” (about Lasker) For me, this personality, notwithstanding his fundamentally optimistic attitude, had a tragic note. The enormous mental resilience, without which no chess player can exist, was so much taken up by chess that he could never free his mind of this game, even when he was occupied by philosophical and humanitarian questions.” Albert Einstein
With the modern computer age, there are some new ideas, but the principles are basically the same… I try not to over-focus on preparation. Magnus Carlsen
