Life's too
short for chess.
-- Henry J. Byron
The chess
pieces are the block alphabet which shapes thoughts; and
these thoughts, although making a visual design on the
chess-board, express their beauty abstractly, like a poem...
I have come to the personal conclusion that while all
artists are not chess players, all chess players are
artists.
-- Marcel Duchamp
1887-1968, French Artist
I am still a
victim of chess. It has all the beauty of art -- and much
more. It cannot be commercialized. Chess is much purer than
art in its social position.
-- Marcel Duchamp
1887-1968, French Artist
Women, by
their nature, are not exceptional chess players: they are
not great fighters.
-- Gary Kasparov
Chess is
ruthless: you've got to be prepared to kill people.
-- Nigel Short
