Text Quotes
It has always been recognized that chess is an art, and its best practitioners have been described as artists  (Chess Quotes) For me, chess is at the same time a game, a sport, a science and an art. And perhaps even more than that,. There is someting hard to explain to those who do not know the game well. One must first learn to play it correctly in order to savor its richness  (Chess Quotes) Chess is a great game. No matter how good one is, there is always somebody better. No matter how bad one is, there is always somebody worse  (Chess Quotes) Playing chess is more athletic than artistic. Champions are more concerned with victory than beauty: it’s war with occasionally graceful kicks  (Chess Quotes) One can say that in the last decades chess has become more of a sport than of a science. I see it from an artistic point of view  (Chess Quotes) Chess is a terrible game. If you have no center, your opponent has a freer position. If you do have a center, then you really have something to worry about!  (Chess Quotes) I have frequently stated that I regard chess as an art form, where creativity prevails over other factors  (Chess Quotes) My study of chess was accompanied by a strong attraction to music, and it was probably thanks to this that from childhood I became accustomed to thinking of chess as an art, for all the science and sport involved in it  (Chess Quotes) For me, chess is not a profession, it is a way of life, a passion. People may feel that I have conquered the peak and will not have to struggle. Financially, perhaps that is true; but as far as chess goes, I’m still learning a lot!  (Chess Quotes) Chess is so inspiring that I do not believe a good player is capable of haviong an evil thought during the game  (Chess Quotes) The battle for the ultimate truth will never be won. And that’s why chess is so fascinating  (Chess Quotes) Photography is a system of visual editing. At bottom, it is a matter of surrounding with a frame a portion of one’s cone of vision, while standing in the right place at the right time. Like chess, or writing, it is a matter of choosing from among given possibilities, but in the case of photography the number of possibilities is not finite but infinite  (Chess Quotes) Chess books should be used as we use glasses: to assist the sight, although some players make use of them as if they thought they conferred sight  (Chess Quotes) Chess, like any creative activity, can exist only through the combined efforts of those who have creative talent, and those who have the ability to organize their creative work  (Chess Quotes) For success I consider three factors are necessary: firstly, an awareness of my own strengths and weaknesses; secondly, an accurate understanding of my opponent’s strengths and weaknesses; thirdly, a higher aim than momentary satisfaction. I see this aim as being scientific and artistic achievements, which place the game of chess on a par with other arts  (Chess Quotes) Those who think that it is easy to play chess are mistaken. During a game a player lives on his nerves, and at the same time he must be perfectly composed  (Chess Quotes) Fighting for me is a chess game. I’m not angry with my opponent. I just want to go in there and win  (Chess Quotes) I had lunch with a chess champion the other day. I knew he was a chess champion because it took him 20 minutes to pass the salt  (Chess Quotes) Chess players are madmen of a certain quality, the way the artist is supposed to be, and isn’t, in general  (Chess Quotes) Characters tend to be either for or against the quest. If they assist it, they are idealized as simply gallant or pure; if they obstruct it, they are characterized as simply villainous or cowardly. Hence every typical character... tends to have his moral opposite confronting him, like black and white pieces in a chess game  (Chess Quotes) I remember mentioning to friends back in 1938 that the world chess champion would be beaten by a computer in 50 years time. Today we know computers are not far from this goal  (Chess Quotes) Chess is a form of intellectual productiveness, therein lies its peculiar charm. Chess, like love, like music, has the power to make men happy  (Chess Quotes) By all means examine the games of the great chess players, but don’t swallow them whole. Their games are valuable not for their separate moves, but for their vision of chess, their way of thinking  (Chess Quotes) Just as one’s imagination is stirred by a girl’s smile, so is one’s imagination stirred by the possibilities of chess  (Chess Quotes) The ability to play chess is the sign of a gentleman. The ability to play chess well is the sign of a wasted life  (Chess Quotes) It is rightly said that the most difficult thing in chess is winning a won position  (Chess Quotes) Playing rapid chess, one can lose the habit of concentrating for several hours in serious chess. That is why, if a player has big aims, he should limit his rapidplay in favour of serious chess  (Chess Quotes) Chess isn’t a game of speed, it is a game of speech through actions  (Chess Quotes) No matter what the name, we’re all the same pieces in one big chess game  (Chess Quotes) Universality is the distinguishing mark of genius. There is no such thing as a special genius, a genius for mathematics, or for music, or even for chess, but only a universal genius. The genius is a man who knows everything without having learned it  (Chess Quotes)
