I'm like Bush, I see the world more like checkers than chess.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Chess is intellectual gymnastics.
Chess is a thinking person's game. But you don't have to be smart to know what's funny! Lots of check, mate!
I'm a pretty good chess player.
Chess is my life, but my life is not chess.
I consider myself to be a genius who happens to play chess.
The chess-board is the world, the pieces are the phenomena of the universe, the rules of the game are what we call the laws of Nature. The player on the other side is hidden from us.
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.
Whoever sees no other aim in the game than that of giving checkmate to one's opponent will never become a good Chess player.
When humans team up with computers to play chess, the humans who do best are not necessarily the strongest players. They're the ones who are modest and who know when to listen to the computer. Often, what the human adds is knowledge of when the computer needs to look more deeply.
Chess is life.
