Tell me quote,s you like or not like. As long as the subject is chess.
I start;

I love all positions.
Give me a difficult positional game,
I will play it.
Give me a bad position,
I will defend it.
Openings, endgames, complicated positions, dull draws,
I love them and will do my very best.
But totally won positions
I cannot stand

"Jan Hein Donner" dutch grandmaster

"A chess game is divided into three stages: the first, when you hope you have the advantage, the second when you believe you have an advantage, and the third... when you know you're going to lose!" ? Dr. Sawielly Tartakower.

"The chess pieces are the block alphabet which shapes thoughts; and these thoughts, although making a visual design on the chess-board, express their beauty abstractly, like a poem... I have come to the personal conclusion that while all artists are not chess players, all chess players are artists"

Marcel Duchamp
