Chess is a matter of vanity. Alexander Alekhine


Chess is not relaxing ; it's stressful even if you win. Jennifer Shahade


Chess is not for the faint-hearted; it absorbs a person entirely. To get to the bottom of this game, he has to give himself up into slavery. Chess is difficult, it demands work, serious reflection and zealous research. Wilhelm Steinitz


Chess is mental torture. Garry Kasparov


 

Chess is a sport; a violent sport. – Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968)


 

Chess players are madmen of a certain quality, the way the artist is supposed to be, and isn’t, in general. – Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968)
