The main idea behind any opening is to get a strong pawn center and give your pieces a lot of scope so that you cramp your opponent’s position and can attack weaknesses in his game.

Don’t even mention losing to me. I can’t stand to think of it
BOBBY FISCHER

Chess Game Losing Thinking
I love the game – and I hate the Russians because they’ve almost ruined it. They only risk the title when they have to, every three years. They play for draws with each other but play to win against the Western masters. Draws make for dull chess, wins make for fighting chess.

A lot of people have come up with other rules of chess-type games, with 10×8 boards, new pieces, and all kinds of things.

Too many times, people don’t try their best. They don’t have the keen spirit; the winning spirit. And once you make it you’ve got to guard your reputation – every day go in like an unknown to prove yourself. That’s why I don’t clown around.

I give 98 percent of my mental energy to Chess Others give only 2 percent
