I like this one too. But I don't think it was first said as a chess quote. I think it originally was said by a choir master. But I could easily be wrong.
lol a choir master
This has always been my favorite chess quote, because it is so symbolic and succinct:
lol reflectivist
"It's going to be an interesting fight for second place." Fischer on his thoughts upon entering a tournament.
"When I play chess and have the white pieces, I win because I have white. When I have the black pieces, I win because I am Bogolyubov."
"...unless I play Alekhine."
Here's one:
"Chess is like body-building. If you train every day, you stay in top shape. It is the same with your brain – chess is a matter of daily training. "
- Vladimir Kramnik
"I think of branching of chess variations in a typical game as being fractal (i.e. self-similar) and resembling natural systems such as snowflakes, trees and coastlines. Like these natural systems chess is extremely complex in its design and solving it by brute force will require not only quantum computing but also brilliant minds." - Iryna Zenyuk (aka Energia)
Yeah, that one was real pithy.
Yes, Andy, it was just full of pith.
and don't forget the vinegar
Any opening is good enough if its reputation is bad enough. --Alekhine?
Good quote. I like it!
