"Patzer sees check, patzer plays check"
What is your favorite chess quote?
Sort:
“I am CRUSHING him.”
There was some chess master who didn’t like it when his opponent smoked, and when his opponent set a cigar on the table next to the board, complained that the threat was stronger than the execution. Tartakower, maybe?

I vaguely remember a quote from someone saying that the best move in the Dutch Defense is often f5-f7.
"Queen takes knight, king takes queen, bishop takes choirboy." ―Lawrence Donald Soens
