I Am Not Today, Nor Have I

When I Used To Go To The Manhattan Chess Club Back In The Fifties, I Met A Lot Of Old-timers There Who Knew Capablanca, Because He Used To Come Around To The Manhattan Club In The Forties - Before He Died In The Early Forties. They Spoke About Capablanca With Awe. I Have Never Seen People Speak About Any Chess Player Like That, Before Or Since.

I Felt That Chess... Is A Science In The Form Of A Game... I Consider Myself A Scientist. I Wanted To Be Treated Like A Scientist.

I Don't Believe In Hero Worship.

Chess Is War Over The Board. The Object Is To Crush The Opponents Mind.

I Don't Believe In Psychology. I Believe In Good Moves
