I Like The Moment When I Break

It's The Fault Of The Chess Players Themselves. I Don't Know What They Used To Be, But Now They're Not The Most Gentlemanly Group. When It Was A Game Played By The Aristocrats It Had More Like You Know Dignity To It. When They Used To Have The Clubs, Like No Women Were Allowed And Everybody Went In Dressed In A Suit, A Tie, Like Gentlemen, You Know. Now, Kids Come Running In Their Sneakers. Even In The Best Chess Club-and They Got Women In There. It's A Social Place And People Are Making Noise, It's A Madhouse.

You Have To Have The Fighting Spirit. You Have To Force Moves And Take Chances

I Would Rather Be Free In My Mind, And Be Locked Up In A Prison Cell, Than To Be A Coward And Not Be Able To Say What I Want.

I Play Honestly And I Play To Win. If I Lose, I Take My Medicine.

In Chess So Much Depends On Opening Theory, So The Champions Before The Last Century Did Not Know As Much As I Do And Other Players Do About Opening Theory. So If You Just Brought Them Back From The Dead They Wouldn't Do Well. They'd Get Bad Openings.
