"Don't let a win get to your head or a loss to your heart." - Public Enemy
"We appreciate a win not because it demonstrates some degree of mastery over another; it doesn't. Rather, because it demonstrates a degree of mastery over ourselves. For this reason, the game of chess sets itself apart as a truly worthy investment of time and effort."
"There are only two chess games that truly matter--the one you are playing, and the one that comes after it. Be sure, always, to either win these games respectfully or lose them with grace. In either case, there is always something to learn, and that is most important."
"A broken spirit is as good as a checkmate."
