Well, I Kind Of Split My Life Into Two Pieces. One Was Where My Chess Career Lies. There, I Kept My Sanity, So To Speak, And My Logic. And The Other Was My Religious Life.

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.
