"No game was ever won by bragging about one's successes in dubious openings on the forums."
How's that ?
Nice one, Irontiger!
How about, "Memorizing openings is no substitute for skill"?
Exactly, Timothy! Just ask Magnus Carlsen, that is how he plays.
Well, sort of - I've read that (and believe that) he spends hours on opening prep, just not as much as his peers do.
"Chess: For those too stupid to play football"
Push a pawn with one hand, wish for a queen with the other. See which one comes first. (My father is fond of saying, "Wish with one hand, shit in the other. See which one comes first.")
Yeah, Carlsen is kind of famous for underprepping on openings (Compared to opponents who have insanely deep opening prep). He still probably preps more than me, but not by much! He has equal or worse positions going into the middlegame, and then outplays GM's in the middlegame to win. Perfect proof of your quote!

and the path leading out is only wide enough for one,”

That's Tal
The harder I work at chess, the luckier I get at chess.
No, it's not Tal, JMB2010. The comma at the end makes it original. Why would you ever insinuate that Tal made an error when he wrote a sentence?
Of course, the rest is Tal. Nice catch
There are only 3 moves in chess, a good move, a bad move, and the move that Fischer played
"I have the cure for that poisoned pawn, checkmate!" -J.D.
Chess? What's this talk of "Chess"? I'm simply restoring order to the chaos of the cosmos. If I happen to use 64 squares and chessmen, one move at a time? So be it.
Even the best chess grandmaster may only make one move at a time.
Think it's remarkable? Then say it again. And you can quote me on that one if they ask you who says so.
cool quotes.. let me think...
A chess game has 3 phases: the first, when you hope you may have an advantage, the second, when you know you have an advantage, and the third, when you disconnect.
Play the opening like a book, the middle game like a magician, and the endgame like a machine....just don't get caught at it.
Got some wood?
