Play On Both Sides Of The Board

I Consider Chess An Art, And Accept All Those Responsibilities Which Art Places Upon Its Devotees.

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

Chess Is Not Only Knowledge And Logic

In My Opinion, A Master Is Morally Obliged To Seize Every Sort Of Opportunity And To Try To Solve The Problems Of The Position Without Fear Of Some Simplifications.

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.
