There is one quote from GoT that I adjusted for chess: "There is no safety, you dumb b**ch! If you don't understand it by now, you are the wrong one to watch over your king".

...good advice, but it's hard to quit a game that's fun...

My best unforgettable advice given to me in chess by my friend and probably who instilled me to play chess with passion was that ---- "STAY AWAY FROM THE SHORT TEMPER WHILE YOU PLAY CHESS. HAVE PATIENT AND BE COOL LIKE THE STREAMS OF THE WOODS. ONLY THEN YOU WILL FEEL THE TASTE OF PLAYING CHESS.¨

Hehehehehe!!!!!
