Funny chess quotes!

“The winner of the game is the player who makes the next-to-last mistake.” -Savielly Tartakower

Not a quote but a short anecdote from a chess site:

 One of my friends, was rated about 1600.  In the first round, he was paired with a player rated 374 (!).  

After the round, one of my other friends, Lester Shelton, and I were getting on the elevator when in walked Tim.

"How did you do against that 374 player?" Lester asked.

"I drew," said Tim, somewhat dejectedly.

"You drew?!?!  How can you draw with a player rated 374?"

Tim didn't miss a beat: "Oh, his playing strength was closer to 400..." The entire elevator (full of chess players) broke up laughing.

Nice idea. More chess or less chess; life should not become a mess.
