Chess Is Not Dominoes

I Like To Say That The Attacker Always Has The Advantage.

The Downfall Of Democratic Institutions In Russia Doesn't Add To The Self-confidence Of Either [vladimir] Putin Or His Friends, As The Loss Of Power Could Lead To Repercussions In Russian Society.

I'm Looking Forward To The Day When My Country Is Saved - And The Current Winner Becomes A Loser.

The Sanctions And Travel Restrictions Would Have To Be Far More Comprehensive To Be Truly Painful For [vladimir] Putin And His Inner Circle. And The New Middle Class Should Also Feel The Effects Of What He Is Doing. For Instance, We Should Ask Those Who Wish To Enter The Eu Whether They Have Visited Illegally Occupied Crimea In The Last Few Months And, If The Answer Is "yes," Deny Them A Visa.

With Each Success The Ability To Change Is Reduced. My Longtime Friend And Coach Grandmaster Yuri Dokhoian, Aptly Compared It To Being Dipped In Bronze. Each Victory Added Another Coat.
