I Don't Listen To Weakies.

I Give 98 Percent Of My Mental Energy To Chess Others Give Only 2 Percent

Chess And Me, It's Hard To Take Them Apart. It's Like My Alter Ego.

When I Used To Go To The Manhattan Chess Club Back In The Fifties, I Met A Lot Of Old-timers There Who Knew Capablanca, Because He Used To Come Around To The Manhattan Club In The Forties - Before He Died In The Early Forties. They Spoke About Capablanca With Awe. I Have Never Seen People Speak About Any Chess Player Like That, Before Or Since.

Capablanca Was Among The Greatest Of Chess Players, But Not Because Of His Endgame. His Trick Was To Keep His Openings Simple, And Then Play With Such Brilliance In The Middlegame That The Game Was Decided - Even Though His Ooponent Didn't Always Know It - Before They Arrived At The Ending.

If You Don't Win, It's Not A Great Tragedy - The Worst That Happens Is That You Lose A Game.
