Chess Is Like War On A Board

I Can Remember Times Coming Home From A Chess Club At Four In The Morning When I Was Half Asleep And Half Dead And Forcing Myself To Pray An Hour And Study An Hour. You Know, I Was Half Out Of My Mind-stoned Almost.

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.

I Am Boring. I Am Boring!

There's No Luck Involved In Chess. You Just Have To Work At It.

I'm Not Afraid Of Spassky. The World Knows I'm The Best. You Don't Need A Match To Prove It.
