Chess Is Not Only Knowledge And Logic

In My Opinion, A Master Is Morally Obliged To Seize Every Sort Of Opportunity And To Try To Solve The Problems Of The Position Without Fear Of Some Simplifications.

Play On Both Sides Of The Board Is My Favourite Strategy.

Playing For Complications Is An Extreme Measure That A Player Should Adopt Only When He Cannot Find A Clear And Logical Plan.

The Fact That A Player Is Very Short Of Time Is To My Mind, As Little To Be Considered As An Excuse As, For Instance, The Statement Of The Law-breaker That He Was Drunk At The Time He Committed The Crime.

The Retreat Of A Minor Piece To The Back Rank, Where It Cuts The Lines Of Communication Between The Rooks, Is Permissable Only In Exceptional Cases.
