Good stuff Oker, thanks for getting this forum going! A good one I know is:
"When the chess game is over, the pawn and the king go back to the same box" - Etienne Goldstein
This quote is another goody that people might like, it shows us that chess, is just chess, no more. At the end, no matter the winner or loser, everything goes back to its original position (except ranking/points)!
this is a good one
"don't lose" - pablo mercade
Lol Pablo, why don't you actually put famous ones like!:
"Chess is as much a mystery as women" - Purdy - ya, it's actually famous!
"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!" - Tartakower

That is very true about KERES and Veheguru! The older I grow, I have started valueing pawns way more. At first, I didn't care, like it was just a minor pawn. But now I know that a single pawn up/pawn down can change the whole game, can make that difference between that win or that loss!
"A lot of people think the queen is the most powerful in the game of chess, but the pawns provide a wall of protection for all the other pieces." - Sharath Ramkumar, Me

Hey World Wide Chess members, I just liked this quote and I wanted all of you to see it:

This could relate to almost anything in this world. It could relate to chess peices, people, places, and even things (nouns). But honestly guys, actually take a moment to think about it and thank everyone. Yeah, that's right, take it in!
