  1. You cannot play at Chess if you are kind-hearted

    -French Proverb

    Chess is ruthless: you’ve got to be prepared to kill people

    -Nigel Short

    When your house is on fire, you cant be bothered with the neighbors.
    Or, as we say in Chess, if your King is under attack you don’t worry
    about losing a Pawn on the Queen’s side

    -Gary Kasparov

    In blitz, the Knight is stronger than the Bishop

    -Vlastimil Hort

    Chess is above all, a fight!

    -Emanuel Lasker
