Dr. Tartakower, I believe, who also said: "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!"

But I think my favorite is still "when I am White, I win because I am White; when I am black, I win because I am Bogoljubov!"
