I know that a lot of great things have been said about the great game of chess. Could you post some of the ones that you've heard or made up yourself. Here is one on my favorites:
"Sometimes I wish chess would play without kings, they get in the way and get mated when you're winning on the queenside"
"Oh hell. He's so short of time but still he's playing great moves. Whats the point of having chess clocks, if people play well when they've got no time left?"
"There's sound sacrifices, then there's mine!"
Mikhail Tal
Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out til too late that he's been playing with two queens all along.”
lady_ix Terry Pratchett quotes (English Writer, b.1948)
“The chess pieces are the block alphabet which shapes thoughts; and these thoughts, although making a visual design on the chess-board, express their beauty abstractly, like a poem... I have come to the personal conclusion that while all artists are not chess players, all chess players are artists.”
Marcel Duchamp quotes
Because of the level of my chess game, I was able - even against a weak opponent, such as my younger brothers or the dog - to get myself checkmated in under three minutes. I challenge any computer to do it faster.”
