There is a chess quote, I think it was Nimzowitch. It is referring to pawns, and is something like, "First arrest, then destroy."

Does anyone know the full quote, and who said it?

I guess the most famous quote by Aaron Nimzovich is:

"Why must I loose to this idiot?!"

Some players use it repeatedly nowadays...

Thank you! That was driving me crazy! I assume that's from My System?

The Blockade I believe.
