I Like The Moment When I Break

When I Used To Go To The Manhattan Chess Club Back In The Fifties, I Met A Lot Of Old-timers There Who Knew Capablanca, Because He Used To Come Around To The Manhattan Club In The Forties - Before He Died In The Early Forties. They Spoke About Capablanca With Awe. I Have Never Seen People Speak About Any Chess Player Like That, Before Or Since.

There's No Luck Involved In Chess. You Just Have To Work At It.

Teach People To Play New Chess, Right Away. Why Do You Offer Them A Black And White Television Set, When There Is A Set In Color?

As Olafsson Showed Me, White Can Win... It's Hard To Believe. I Stayed Up All Night Analysing, Finally Convicing Myself, And, Incidentally, Learning A Lot About Rook And Pawn Endings In The Process.

You Know I'm Finished With The Old Chess Because It's All Just A Lot Of Book And Memorization You Know.
