The good Dr. inadvertently challenged me to a quote contest, but

everyone is invited.

Here's the rules:

     it has to be yours and original

     it has to be clean and family safe

 

Here's mine:

"I believe that if all we do is play chess, at the end of the day all

     we will be is chess players."

Ah, so it's official now, eh? =D

Well then, I'm going to lose, but let's get it on either way! =D

Here's mine:

A successful game plan is a failed plan turned inside out.

Not original. That's like if I tried to claim, "That's what she said!" Try again...

"Theory is always changing, because practical results are always changing. Therefore, the current theory in chess is based on the practical results of a time when the theory of chess was entirely different."

Well I hadn't heard it before. One technique I utilised in a friendly game was to constantly give "advice" in an obnoxiously loud voice, ranging from 'LIVE WIRES ARE DELICIOUS' to 'BUY PIZZA. PAY IN SNAKES'. It works, flawlessly.

It's really easy to convince someone that you're going to hurt them.

It's quite difficult to convince someone that you won't.
