Play On Both Sides Of The Board

I Think That For The Highest Achievements Nowadays... Need To Have The Stable As A Rock Scientific Base. And Also Need To Own Modesty.

A Lifetime In Not Enough To Learn Everything About Chess.

The Infallible Criterion By Which To Distinguish The True From The Would-be Strategist Is The Degree Of Originality Of His Conceptions. It Makes Little Difference Whether This Originality Is Carried To Excess, As Was The Case With Steinitz And Nimzowitsch.

That Which Steinitz Gave To The Theoretical Aspect Of The Game When He Was At His Best Is Very Remote To All Out Home-bred Chess Philosophers, But With His Views On Morphy, Whom He Tries To Discredit Completely, It Is Of Course Impossible To Agree.

I Believe That True Beauty Of Chess Is More Than Enough To Satisfy All Possible Demands.
