When you see a good move, look for a better one (Emanuel Lasker) 2 Nothing excites jaded Grandmasters

more than a theoretical novelty (Dominic Lawson) 3 The Pin is mightier than the sword (Fred Reinfeld) 4 We cannot resist the fascination of sacrifice, since a passion for sacrifices is part of a Chessplayer's nature (Rudolf Spielman) 5 All I want to do, ever, is just play Chess (Bobby Fischer) 6 A win by an unsound combination, however showy, fills me with artistic horror (Wilhelm Steinitz) 7 The chessboard is the world, the pieces are the phenomena of the Universe, the rules of the game are what we call the laws of Nature and the player on the other side is hidden from us (Thomas Huxley) 8 Adequate compensation for a sacrifice is having a sound combination leading to a winning position; adequate compensation for a blunder is having your opponent snatch defeat from the jaws of victory (Bruce A. Moon) 9 Strategy requires thought, tactics require observation (Max Euwe) 10

I don't believe in psychology. I believe in good moves (Bobby Fischer) 11 Modern Chess is too much concerned with things like Pawn structure. Forget it, Checkmate ends the game (Nigel Short) 12 Life is a kind of Chess, with struggle, competition, good and ill events (Benjamin Franklin) 13 Even the laziest King flees wildly in the face of a double check! (Aaron Nimzowitsch) 14 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) 15 I give 98 percent of my mental energy to Chess. Others give only 2 percent (Bobby Fischer) 16 Chess is a fairy tale of 1001 blunders (Savielly Tartakower) 17 Chess is no whit inferior to the violin, and we have a large number of professional violinists (Mikhail Botvinnik) 18 Only the player with the initiative has the right to attack (Wilhelm Steinitz) 19 The winner of the game is the player who makes the next-to-last mistake (Savielly Tartakover) 20 Your body has to be in top condition. Your Chess deteriorates as your body does. You can't separate body from mind (Bobby Fischer) 21 Of Chess it has been said that life is not long enough for it, but that is the fault of life, not Chess (William Ewart Napier) 22 I have added these principles to the law: get the Knights into action before both Bishops are developed (Emanuel Lasker) 23 Life is like a game of Chess, changing with each move (Chinese proverb)

24 You cannot play at Chess if you are kind-hearted (French Proverb) 25 Its just you and your opponent at the board and you're trying to prove something (Bobby Fischer) 26 It is the aim of the modern school, not to treat every position according to one general law, but according to the principle inherent in the position (Richard Reti) 27 The Pawns are the soul of the game (Francois Andre Danican Philidor) 28 In order to improve your game, you must study the endgame before everything else, for whereas the endings can be studied and mastered by themselves, the middle game and the opening must be studied in relation to the endgame (Jose Raul Capablanca) 29 Without error there can be no brilliancy (Emanuel Lasker) 30 Chess is like war on a board (Bobby Fischer) 31 Chess is played with the mind and not with the hands! (Renaud and Kahn) 32 Chess is mental torture (Garry Kasparov) 33 Many have become Chess Masters, no one has become the Master of Chess (Siegbert Tarrasch 34 The most important feature of the Chess position is the activity of the pieces. This is absolutely fundamental in all phases of the game: Opening, Middlegame and especially Endgame. The primary constraint on a piece's activity is the Pawn structure (Michael Stean) 35 You have to have the fighting spirit. You have to force moves and take chances (Bobby Fischer) 36 Could we look into the head of a Chess player, we should see there a whole world of feelings, images, ideas, emotion and passion (Alfred Binet) 37 Openings teach you openings. Endgames teach you chess! (Stephan Gerzadowicz)

38 My style is somewhere between that of Tal and Petrosian (Reshevsky) 39 Play the opening like a book, the middle game like a magician, and the endgame like a machine (Spielmann) 40 That's what Chess is all about. One day you give your opponent a lesson, the next day he gives you one (Bobby Fischer) 41 Some part of a mistake is always correct (Savielly Tartakover) 42 Methodical thinking is of more use in Chess than inspiration (C. J. S. Purdy) 43 When in doubt... play Chess! (Tevis) 44 Who is your opponent tonight, tonight I am playing against the Black pieces (Akiba Rubinstein) 45 I like the moment when I break a man's ego (Bobby Fischer) 46 Excellence at Chess is one mark of a scheming mind (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) 47 A bad day of Chess is better than any good day at work (Anonymous) 48 Chess is the art of analysis (Mikhail Botvinnik) 49 The mistakes are there, waiting to be made (Savielly Tartakower) 50 There are tough players and nice guys, and I'm a tough player (Bobby Fischer) 51 After black's reply to 1.e4 with 1..e5, leaves him always trying to get into the game (Howard Staunton) 52 A player surprised is half beaten (Proverb) 53 A passed Pawn increases in strength as the number of pieces on the board diminishes (Capablanca) 54 The essence of Chess is thinking about what Chess is (David Bronstein)

55 I am the best player in the world and I am here to prove it (Bobby Fischer) 56 Chess is a forcing house where the fruits of character can ripen more fully than in life (Edward Morgan Foster) 57 Half the variations which are calculated in a tournament game turn out to be completely superfluous. Unfortunately, no one knows in advance which half (Jan Tinman) 58 Chess is as much a mystery as women (Purdy) 59 Good positions don't win games, good moves do (Gerald Abrahams) 60 If I win a tournament, I win it by myself. I do the playing. Nobody helps me (Bobby Fischer) 61 What would Chess be without silly mistakes? (Kurt Richter) 62 Before the endgame, the Gods have placed the middle game (Siegbert Tarrasch) 63 Chess was Capablanca's mother tongue (Reti) 64 Alekhine is a poet who creates a work of art out of something that would hardly inspire another man to send home a picture post card (Max Euwe) 65 Don't even mention losing to me. I can't stand to think of it (Bobby Fischer) 66 During a Chess competition a Chessmaster should be a combination n of a beast of prey and a monk (Alexander Alekhine) 67 No one ever won a game by resigning (Saviely Tartakower) 68 The defensive power of a pinned piece is only imaginary (Aaron Nimzovich) 69 When the Chess game is over, the Pawn and the King go back to the same box (Irish saying)

70 A strong memory, concentration, imagination, and a strong will is required to become a great Chess player (Bobby Fischer) 71 Every Chess master was once a beginner (Chernev) 72 One doesn't have to play well, it's enough to play better than your opponent (Siegbert Tarrasch) 73 Chess is above all, a fight! (Emanuel Lasker) 74 Discovered check is the dive bomber of the Chessboard (Reuben Fine) 75 I know people who have all the will in the world, but still can't play good Chess (Bobby Fischer) 76 A Chess game is a dialogue, a conversation between a player and his opponent. Each move by the opponent may contain threats or be a blunder, but a player cannot defend against threats or take advantage of blunders if he does not first ask himself: What is my opponent planning after each move? (Bruce A. Moon) 77 The hardest game to win is a won game (Emanuel Lasker) 78 The most powerful weapon in Chess is to have the next move (David Bronstein) 79 He who fears an isolated Queen's Pawn should give up Chess (Siegbert Tarrasch) 80 Different people feel differently about resigning (Bobby Fischer) 81 Chess is not like life... it has rules! (Mark Pasternak) 82 Why must I lose to this idiot? (Aron Nimzovich) 83 It's always better to sacrifice your opponent's men (Savielly Tartakover) 84 To avoid losing a piece, many a person has lost the game (Savielly Tartakover) 85 All that matters on the Chessboard is good moves (Bobby Fischer)

86 Help your pieces so they can help you (Paul Morphy) 87 In a gambit you give up a Pawn for the sake of getting a lost game (Samuel Standige Boden) 88 It is not enough to be a good player... you must also play well (Siegbert Tarrasch) 89 A sacrifice is best refuted by accepting it (Wilhelm Steinizt) 90 Tactics flow from a superior position (Bobby Fischer) 91 Later, I began to succeed in decisive games. Perhaps because I realized a very simple truth: not only was I worried, but also my opponent (Mikhail Tal) 92 Chess is life (Bobby Fischer) 93 Chess is a beautiful mistress (Bent Larsen) 94 Some sacrifices are sound; the rest are mine (Mikhail Tal) 95 Best by test: 1. e4 (Bobby Fischer) 96 A bad plan is better than none at all (Frank Marshall) 97 Chess books should be used as we use glasses: to assist the sight, although some players make use of them as if they thought they conferred sight (Jose Raul Capablanca) 98 There are two types of sacrifices: correct ones and mine (Mikhail Tal) 99 Morphy was probably the greatest genius of them all (Bobby Fischer) 100 My opponents make good moves too. Sometimes I don't take these things into consideration (Bobby Fischer) 101 The combination player thinks forward; he starts from the given position, and tries the forceful moves in his mind (Emanuel Lasker)

102 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! (Savielly Tartakower) 103 Chess demands total concentration (Bobby Fischer) 104 Chess, like love, like music, has the power to make people happy (Siegbert Tarrasch) 105 All my games are real (Bobby Fischer) 106 Chess is everything: art, science and sport (Anatoly Karpov) 107 Chess is the art which expresses the science of logic (Mikhail Botvinnik) 108 Not all artists are Chess players, but all Chess players are artists (Marcel Duchamp) 109 Chess is imagination (David Bronstein) 110 I'm not afraid of Spassky. The world knows I'm the best. You don't need a match to prove it (Bobby Fischer) 111

If cunning alone were needed to excel, women would be the best Chess players (Albin) 112 Chess is thirty to forty percent psychology. You don't have this when you play a computer. I can't confuse it (Judith Polgar) 113 On the chessboard, lies and hypocrisy do not survive long (Emanuel Lasker) 114 Chess is war over the board. The object is to crush the opponents mind (Bobby Fischer) 115 The passed Pawn is a criminal, who should be kept under lock and key. Mild measures, such as police surveillance, are not sufficient (Aaron Nimzovich) 116 Chess holds its master in its own bonds, shackling the mind and brain so that the inner freedom of the very strongest must suffer (Albert Einstein) 117 Human affairs are like a Chess game: only those who do not take it seriously can be called good players (Hung Tzu Ch'eng) 118 The blunders are all there on the board, waiting to be made (Savielly Tartakover) 119 Via the squares on the chessboard, the Indians explain the movement of time and the age, the higher influences which control the world and the ties which link Chess with the human soul (Al-Masudi) 120

It is no time to be playing Chess when the house is on fire (Italian Proverb) 121 You sit at the board and suddenly your heart leaps. Your hand trembles to pick up the piece and move it. But what Chess teaches you is that you must sit there calmly and think about whether its really a good idea and whether there are other better ideas (Stanley Kubrick) 122 Daring ideas are like Chess men moved forward. They may be beaten, but they may start a winning game (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe) 123 Of all my Russian books, the defense contains and diffuses the greatest 'warmth' which may seem odd seeing how supremely abstract Chess is supposed to be (Vladimir Nabokov) 124 For surely of all the drugs in the world, Chess must be the most permanently pleasurable (Assiac) 125 A thorough understanding of the typical mating continuations makes the most complicated sacrificial combinations leading up to them not only not difficult, but almost a matter of course (Siegbert Tarrasch) 126 Chess problems demand from the composer the same virtues that characterize all worthwhile art: originality, invention, conciseness, harmony, complexity, and splendid insincerity (Vladimir Nabokov) 127 Personally, I rather look forward to a computer program winning the world Chess Championship. Humanity needs a lesson in humility (Richard Dawkings) 128

The boy (then a 12 year old boy named Anatoly Karpov) doesn't have a clue about Chess, and there's no future at all for him in this profession (Mikhail Botvinnik) 129 As one by one I mowed them down, my superiority soon became apparent (Jose Capablanca) 130 Though most people love to look at the games of the great attacking masters, some of the most successful players in history have been the quiet positional players. They slowly grind you down by taking away your space, tying up your pieces, and leaving you with virtually nothing to do! (Yasser Seirawan) 131 Chess is ruthless: you've got to be prepared to kill people (Nigel Short) 132 There must have been a time when men were demigods, or they could not have invented Chess (Gustav Schenk) 133 Chess is really ninety nine percent calculation (Soltis) 134 Chess is the gymnasium of the mind (Blaise Pascal) 135 The game of Chess is not merely an idle amusement; several very valuable qualities of the mind are to be acquired and strengthened by it, so as to become habits ready on all occasions; for life is a kind of Chess (Benjamin Franklin) 136 Winning isn't everything... but losing is nothing (Mednis) 137

Only sissies Castle (Rob Sillars) 138 Look at Garry Kasparov. After he loses, invariably he wins the next game. He just kills the next guy. That's something that we have to learn to be able to do (Maurice Ashley) 139 There just isn't enough televised Chess (David Letterman) 140 Avoid the crowd. Do your own thinking independently. Be the Chess player, not the Chess piece (Ralph Charell) 141 Chess is a terrible game. If you have no center, your opponent has a freer position. If you do have a center, then you really have something to worry about! (Siegbert Tarrasch) 142 Any material change in a position must come about by mate, a capture, or a Pawn promotion (Purdy) 143 We don't really know how the game was invented, though there are suspicions. As soon as we discover the culprits, we'll let you know (Bruce Pandolfini) 144 The battle for the ultimate truth will never be won. And that's why Chess is so fascinating (Hans Kmoch) 145 Chess makes man wiser and clear-sighted (Vladimir Putin) 146

I am still a victim of Chess. It has all the beauty of art and much more. It cannot be commercialized. Chess is much purer than art in its social position (Marcel Duchamp) 147 Blessed be the memory of him who gave the world this immortal game (A. G. Gardiner) 148 In the perfect Chess combination as in a first-rate short story, the whole plot and counter-plot should lead up to a striking finale, the interest not being allayed until the very last moment (Yates and Winter) 149 Castle early and often (Rob Sillars) 150 I believe that Chess possesses a magic that is also a help in advanced age. A rheumatic knee is forgotten during a game of Chess and other events can seem quite unimportant in comparison with a catastrophe on the chessboard (Vlastimil Hort) 151 Chess is a more highly symbolic game, but the aggressions are therefore even more frankly represented in the play. It probably began as a war game; that is, the representation of a miniature battle between the forces of two kingdoms (Karl Meninger) 152 No Chess Grandmaster is normal; they only differ in the extent of their madness (Viktor Korchnoi) 153 Chess is 99 percent tactics (Teichmann) 154

I'd rather have a Pawn than a finger (Reuben Fine) 155 Chess mastery essentially consists of analyzing Chess positions accurately (Mikhail Botvinnik) 156 If your opponent cannot do anything active, then don't rush the position; instead you should let him sit there, suffer, and beg you for a draw (Jeremy Silman) 157 The Chess pieces are the block alphabet which shapes thoughts; and these thoughts, although making a visual design on the chessboard, express their beauty abstractly, like a poem (Marcel Duchamp) 158 Examine moves that smite! A good eye for smites is far more important than a knowledge of strategical principles (Purdy) 159 Chess is like life (Boris Spassky) 160 If your opponent offers you a draw, try to work out why he thinks he's worse off (Nigel Short) 161 Chess teaches you to control the initial excitement you feel when you see something that looks good and it trains you to think objectively when you're in trouble (Stanley Kubrick) 162 Let the perfectionist play postal (Yasser Seirawan) 163

If Chess is a science, it's a most inexact one. If Chess is an art, it is too exacting to be seen as one. If Chess is a sport, it's too esoteric. If Chess is a game, it's too demanding to be just a game. If Chess is a mistress, she's a demanding one. If Chess is a passion, it's a rewarding one. If Chess is life, it's a sad one (Unknown) 164 Chess is a foolish expedient for making idle people believe they are doing something very clever when they are only wasting their time (George Bernard Shaw) 165 You must take your opponent into a deep dark forest where 2+2=5, and the path leading out is only wide enough for one (Mikhail Tal) 166 I feel as if I were a piece in a game of Chess, when my opponent says of it: That piece cannot be moved (Soren Kierkegaard) 167 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 dont worry about losing a Pawn on the Queen's side (Gary Kasparov) 168 Man is a frivolous, a specious creature, and like a Chess player, cares more for the process of attaining his goal than for the goal itself (Dostoyevsky) 169 When asked, -How is that you pick better moves than your opponents?, I responded: I'm very glad you asked me that, because, as it happens, there is a very simple answer. I think up my own moves, and I make my opponent think up his (Alexander Alekhine) 170 Mistrust is the most necessary characteristic of the Chess player (Siegbert Tarrasch) 171

What is the object of playing a gambit opening?... To acquire a reputation of being a dashing player at the cost of losing a game (Siegbert Tarrasch) 172 Pawns: they are the soul of this game, they alone form the attack and defense (Philidor) 173 Chess is above all, a fight! (Emanuel Lasker) 174 In Chess, at least, the brave inherit the earth (Edmar Mednis) 175 There are two classes of men; those who are content to yield to circumstances and who play whist; those who aim to control circumstances, and who play Chess (Mortimer Collins) 176 The tactician must know what to do whenever something needs doing; the strategist must know what to do when nothing needs doing (Savielly Tartakover) 177 When you are lonely, when you feel yourself an alien in the world, play Chess. This will raise your spirits and be your counselor in war (Aristotle) 178 All Chess players should have a hobby (Savielly Tartakower) 179 I played Chess with him and would have beaten him sometimes only he always took back his last move, and ran the game out differently (Mark Twain) 180

The tactician knows what to do when there is something to do; whereas the strategian knows what to do when there is nothing to do (Gerald Abrahams) 181 In Chess, just as in life, today's bliss may be tomorrow's poison (Assaic) 182 You may learn much more from a game you lose than from a game you win. You will have to lose hundreds of games before becoming a good player (Jose Raul Capablanca) 183 The way he plays Chess demonstrates a man's whole nature (Stanley Ellin) 184 You can only get good at Chess if you love the game (Bobby Fischer) 185 A man that will take back a move at Chess will pick a pocket (Richard Fenton) 186 Whoever sees no other aim in the game than that of giving checkmate to one's opponent will never become a good Chess player (Euwe) 187 In blitz, the Knight is stronger than the Bishop (Vlastimil Hort) 188 Chess is a fighting game which is purely intellectual and includes chance (Richard Reti) 189 Chess is a sea in which a gnat may drink and an elephant may bathe (Hindu proverb)

190 Pawn endings are to Chess what putting is to golf (Cecil Purdy) 191 Chess opens and enriches your mind (Saudin Robovic) 192 The isolated Pawn casts gloom over the entire chessboard (Aaron Nimzovich) 193 For me, Chess is life and every game is like a new life. Every Chess player gets to live many lives in one lifetime (Eduard Gufeld) 194 Chess is a terrific way for kids to build self image and self esteem (Saudin Robovic) 195 If a ruler does not understand Chess, how can he rule over a kingdom? (King Khusros II) 196 Chess is a cold bath for the mind (Sir John Simon) 197 Becoming successful at Chess allows you to discover your own personality. That's what I want for the kids I teach (Saudin Robovic) 198 Chess is so inspiring that I do not believe a good player is capable of having an evil thought during the game (Wilhelm Steinitz) 199 You are for me the Queen on d8 and I am the Pawn on d7!! (GM Eduard Gufeld)

200 By playing at Chess then, we may learn: First: Foresight... Second: Circumspection... Third: Caution... And lastly, we learn by Chess the habit of not being discouraged by present bad appearances in the state of our affairs, the habit of hoping for a favorable chance, and that of persevering in the secrets of resources (Benjamin Franklin) 201 I prefer to lose a really good game than to win a bad one (David Levy) 202 Capture of the adverse King is the ultimate but not the first object of the game (William Steinitz) 203 When I have White, I win because I am white; When I have Black, I win because I am Bogolyubov (Bogolyubov) 204 Every Pawn is a potential Queen (James Mason) 205 Chess is in its essence a game, in its form an art, and in its execution a science (Baron Tassilo) 206 No price is too great for the scalp of the enemy King (Koblentz) 207 In life, as in Chess, ones own Pawns block ones way. A mans very wealth, ease, leisure, children, books, which should help him to win, more often checkmate him (Charles Buxton) 208

Chess is a part of culture and if a culture is declining then Chess too will decline (Mikhail Botvinnik) 209 A good sacrifice is one that is not necessarily sound but leaves your opponent dazed and confused (Rudolph Spielmann) 210 Chess, like any creative activity, can exist only through the combined efforts of those who have creative talent, and those who have the ability to organize their creative work (Mikhail Botvinnik) 211 One bad move nullifies forty good ones (Horowitz) 212 Place the contents of the Chess box in a hat, shake them up vigorously, pour them on the board from a height of two feet, and you get the style of Steinitz (H. E. Bird) 213 I have never in my life played the French Defence, which is the dullest of all openings (Wilhelm Steinitz) 214 Pawns are born free, yet they are everywhere in chains (Rick Kennedy) 215 It is not a move, even the best move that you must seek, but a realizable plan (Eugene Znosko-Borovsky) 216 Those who say they understand Chess, understand nothing (Robert Hubner) 217

Good offense and good defense both begin with good development (Bruce A. Moon) 218 Botvinnik tried to take the mystery out of Chess, always relating it to situations in ordinary life. He used to call Chess a typical inexact problem similar to those which people are always having to solve in everyday life (Garry Kasparov) 219 A good player is always lucky (Jose Raul Capablanca) 220 The sign of a great Master is his ability to win a won game quickly and painlessly (Irving Chernev) 221 One of these modest little moves may be more embarrassing to your opponent than the biggest threat (Siegbert Tarrasch) 222 Live, lose, and learn, by observing your opponent how to win (Amber Steenbock) 223 The older I grow, the more I value Pawns (Keres) 224 Everything is in a state of flux, and this includes the world of Chess (Mikhail Botvinnik) 225 The beauty of a move lies not in its' appearance but in the thought behind it (Aaron Nimzovich) 226

My God, Bobby Fischer plays so simply (Alexei Suetin) 227 You need not play well - just help your opponent to play badly (Genrikh Chepukaitis) 228 It is difficult to play against Einsteins theory --on his first loss to Fischer (Mikhail Tal) 229 The only thing Chess players have in common is Chess (Lodewijk Prins) 230 Bobby just drops the pieces and they fall on the right squares (Miguel Najdorf) 231 We must make sure that Chess will not be like a dead language, very interesting, but for a very small group (Sytze Faber) 232 The passion for playing Chess is one of the most unaccountable in the world (H.G. Wells) 233 Chess is so interesting in itself, as not to need the view of gain to induce engaging in it; and thence it is never played for money (Benjamin Franklin) 234 The enormous mental resilience, without which no Chess player can exist, was so much taken up by Chess that he could never free his mind of this game (Albert Einstein) 235 Nowadays, when you're not a grandmaster at 14, you can forget about it (Anand Viswanathan)

236 Do you realize Fischer almost never has any bad pieces? He exchanges them, and the bad pieces remain with his opponents (Yuri Balashov) 237 It is always better to sacrifice your opponent's men (Savielly Tartakower) 238 In Chess, as it is played by masters, chance is practically eliminated (Emanuel Lasker) 239 You know you're going to lose. Even when I was ahead I knew I was going to lose --on playing against Fischer (Andrew Soltis) 240 I won't play with you anymore. You have insulted my friend --when an opponent cursed himself for a blunder (Miguel Najdorf) 241 You know, comrade Pachman, I don't enjoy being a Minister, I would rather play Chess like you (Che Guevara) 242 It began to feel as though you were playing against Chess itself --on playing against Robert Fischer (Walter Shipman) 243 Checkers is for tramps (Paul Morphy) 244 When you play Bobby, it is not a question if you win or lose. It is a question if you survive (Boris Spassky) 245

When you absolutely don't know what to do anymore, it is time to panic (John van der Wiel) 246 We like to think (Gary Kasparov) 247 Dazzling combinations are for the many, shifting wood is for the few (Georg Kieninger) 248 In complicated positions, Bobby Fischer hardly had to be afraid of anybody (Paul Keres) 249 It was clear to me that the vulnerable point of the American Grandmaster (Bobby Fischer) was in double-edged, hanging, irrational positions, where he often failed to find a win even in a won position (Efim Geller) 250 I love all positions. Give me a difficult positional game, I will play it. But totally won positions, I cannot stand them (Hein Donner) 251 In Fischer's hands, a slight theoretical advantage is as good a being a Queen ahead (Isaac Kashdan) 252 I still hope to kill Fischer (Boris Spassky) 253 Is Bobby Fischer quite sane? (Salo Flohr) 254 Robert Fischer is a law unto himself (Larry Evans)

255 Fischer is under obligation to nobody (Joseph Platz) 256 Bobby Fischers current state of mind is indeed a tragedy. One of the worlds greatest Chess players - the pride and sorrow of American Chess (Frank Brady)
