Chess is a sea in which an elephant may bath and a gnat may drink if it doesn't see the elephant

Chess, like love, like music, has the power to make men very unhappy.

Chess is a foolish expedient for making idle people believe they are doing something very clever, when they are only wasting their time.

This doesn't need alteration.

Nobody ever won a game by resigning. But they won a much better seat in the pub.

Why must I lose to this exceedingly clever person!

Chess is a fairy tale of 1001 brilliancy's.

Chess is 99 percent endgames.

When you see a bad move wait, look for a worse one.

I've applied the last 30 years to forgetting most of what I learned or read. Now I totally suck.

I thought of Knightstalkers one not long after posting mine.

If you see a bad move, sit on your hands and find a worse one.

That seems to be the RHP motto. (I think I'll use that next blog.)

"I have only two words to say to you Herr Lasker, I resign."

"“A win by an unsound combination fills me with artistic delight.”

"Your passed pawns must never be pushed. Block them with your own pieces to stop them from advancing."

A chess game is divided into three phases: one where you hope to avoid a disadvantage, one where you think you're at a disadvantage, and one where you know you're going to win!
