” The essence of chess is thinking about what chess is.”
David Bronstein
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

Nathan Divinsky 2004
Of chess it has been said that life is not long enough for it, but that is the fault of life, not chess.
Irving Chernev
In chess,honestly,nobody cares how beautiful you play,if Morphy would be 2710 today,he would not get a single invitation.
