Emanuel Lasker said:
" The most intelligent inspection of any number of fine paintings will not make the observer a painter; nor will listening to a number of operas make the hearer a musician, but good judges of music and painting may be so formed. Chess differes from these. The intelligent perusal of fine games cannot fail to make the reader a better player and a better judge of the play of others."
Many people say "Chess is art".
What is art?
