Chess Quotes

I was reading yesterday. I came across these inspiring words I wanted to share:

"If you've made a mistake, or committed an inaccuracy, there is no need to become annoyed and to think that everything is lost. You have to re-orientate yourself quickly and find a new plan in the new situation" ---Bronstein

Chess is all about ideas and plans. during the game there are several stages to judge abd doing the right move (you think and that's oke). Just bekieve in your own strenght, in the opening, mid or end game and enjoy even a move you played to decie the mage !!

My favorite was Nimzovich at a tourney when he stood up on to his chair and screamed to the whole hall...

"Why must I lose to this IDIOT!!!!"

My favourite is this: 'Play the opening like a book, the middle game like a magician, and the endgame like a machine.' - Rudolf Spielmann

"play for fun" - pijun

Chess is a terrible game: If you have no centre, your opponent has a freer position; if you do have a centre, then you really have something to worry about.
– Siegbert Tarrasch, 1862-1934

“Combinations have always been the most intriguing aspect of Chess.
The masters look for them, the public applauds them, the critics
praise them. It is because combinations are possible that Chess
is more than a lifeless mathematical exercise. They are the
poetry of the game; they are to Chess what melody is to
music. They represent the triumph of mind over matter”
(Reuben Fine)

“Without error there can be no brilliancy”
(Emanuel Lasker)
