Playing For Complications Is An Extreme Measure

Combination Is A Soul Of Chess.

For Success I Consider Three Factors Are Necessary: Firstly, An Awareness Of My Own Strengths And Weaknesses; Secondly, An Accurate Understanding Of My Opponent's Strengths And Weaknesses; Thirdly, A Higher Aim Than Momentary Satisfaction. I See This Aim As Being Scientific And Artistic Achievements, Which Place The Game Of Chess On A Par With Other Arts.

Chess Will Always Be The Master Of Us All.

Chess First Of All Teaches You To Be Objective.

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.
