To make a mating net, you cover squares around the enemy king, often before checking it.
Can someone explain this Chess quote?

Could this be what the author (Possibly Anand) meant?

Hmm...somehow this reminds me of that classic utterance, "Endeavor to persevere."

If you move to where the king is going to be, he simply won't go there. Whoever uttered this is quite obviously insane.

This is interesting thought. Have you considered that you're not thinking deeply enough to understand its full meaning?

If you want chess inspiration and advice to improve your game without sugar coating...you need to study Bobby Fischer.

Bobby Fischer is my favourite player, I already know all his quotes.

The threat of moving to where the king is going to be is stronger than the execution. Or maybe not.
Perhaps so.

Possibly Anand, possibly your mom. Who can say for sure?

Says the guy whose mating attacks probably look like this:
But here's how it's done

Something I've found as I've gotten better, it's nearly impossible to chase the rook, queen or bishop, rarely worth it to try. You can chase after the knights and kings and pawns. A successful trap controls the critical squares.

In martial arts they told me not to strike where the person is but where they are moving to....same type of thing I guess.
In order to sustain interests in life one must be inspired.
When I started my Chess career, I looked for inspiration to keep me going when my loss column was out-sprinting my win column. I found quotes. Quotes about chess. Quotes which empathized with my struggle. But then confusion set in. I found a particularly strange chess quote which I haven't been able to decipher. The quote went as follows:
"I move to where the King is going to be, not to where he has been".
The author is unknown. Though I figure only somebody as brilliant as Anand could have authored it, so I give the credit to him.
Is anybody able to understand this mystifying quote?
