“In my youth, I knew the hardships of gaining rating,

Yet I still aspired to get a title.

A journey of many losses and uncertainty,

A lone player experiences a life of victory and defeat.

A heart of steel forged from countless setbacks,

A lifetime of effort to grind my Elo.

Today my goal lies beyond CM,

Gain rating! Push upward! Get a title!!”

-Fairy in a Chequered Cape

Original quote: Fang Yuan (Reverend Insanity)

“When I finally manage to gain a title, except for the strongest and most intense parts of my emotions and humanity, everything else might no longer be the me of now.

As for whether it's tiring...

Of course it's very tiring, but there's no choice; I have to gain a title, right?”

-The King of White and Black who wields good moves

Original quote: Klein Moretti (Lord of the Mysteries 2: Circle of Inevitability)

“If I was really a chess master then I would be the most incompetent master in the world. The most helpless master in the world who knew every chess concept but couldn’t explain any of them.”

-King of a Kingless Chessboard
