A couple of Masters are playing blitz, another Master comes upon them and asks how much they are playing for? One of the players responds, “fun, we’re playing for fun”. The visiting Master then says, “ how much fun are you playing for ?”

The below quote by Bobby Fischer just shows how stupid he really was! The Winawer is the best line for Black when White plays 3.Nc3, his strongest move.
I may yet be forced to admit that the Winawer is sound, But I doubt it! The defense is anti-positional and weakens the kingside. - Bobby Fischer
"Chess is a substitute for life itself." - David Spanier
I remind myself of this quote whenever I find myself spending too much time playing/studying chess.
Nah, that is the wrong way round. The correct version is:
Life is a substitute for chess.
