Here is the only truth: "We are the
pawns of the mysterious game of chess played by God, who moves
us, stops us, shifts us ahead, and soon picks us up
one after the other and gathers us in the same box of Nothing."
Omar Khayyam 1040 ad

"Chess grips its exponent,
shackling the mind and brain so that the inner freedom and independence
of even the strongest character cannot remain unaffected."
Albert
Einstein

"Imagination does not breed insanity.
Exactly what does breed insanity is reason. Poets do not go
mad; but chess-players do".
—Chesterton, The Maniac
(1908).

"Talent is
doing easily what is
difficult for others, but genius
is doing what is impossible
for talent" Amiel

"the chess
playing of a master ties him to the game, fetters his mind and shapes
it to a certain extent so that his internal freedom and ease, no matter
how strong he is, must inevitably be affected." Spinoza |
"One bad move nullifies 40 good
moves." Horowitz

"The older I grow, the more I value my
pawns." Keres
