 2: I am a problem editor for the ICC.  I handle most trainingbot problems
  (help trainingbot), and sdrawkcab handles problembot (help problembot).
  I enjoy finding and creating puzzles, normally of a very practical nature.
  Hundreds of the problems are my own.  Feel free to ask for help submitting a
  problem!
 3: "The pawns are talking to you, people. The pawn structure is talking to you
  and telling you what plan to choose. You've just got to listen...Usually the
  tactics will work out for the person who knows the right strategy; you just
  have to calculate and make it so...Make the tactics work for you." - Danny
  Rensch
 4: Labourdanais rule: Improve the worst placed piece to improve the whole
  position. :: Kregspiel: strong players dont get crushed much - you got to
  wound them and then track them down! Weak players shoot themselves and save
  you time!  ::  U-571(43): I tell you, if you're drunk, watch out for knights!
 5: "The hardest game to win is a won game." - Lasker :: "Analyzing [Mikhail
  Tal's] chess games is tantamount to discussing what God looks like." -
  Kramnik :: "The winner of the game is the player who makes the next-to-last
  mistake." - Tartakower <> "Not true. What if you made the last 2 mistakes?" -
  Nick Thompson
 6: "One bad move nullifies forty good ones" - Horowitz :: "If your opponent
  offers you a draw, try to work out  why he thinks he's worse off." - Short ::
  "A good player is always lucky" - Capablanca
 7: "The older I grow, the more I value pawns." - Keres :: "Checkers is for
  tramps." - Morphy :: "First-class players lose to second-class players
  because  second-class players sometimes play a first-class game." - Tarrasch
 8: "The player with a lead in development should open lines for attack and the
  player behind in development should try to keep those attacking lines
  closed." - Steinitz  ::  "You don't get mated with a knight on f8." - Larsen
 9: "In order to improve your game, you must study the endgame before
  everything else, for whereas the endings can be studied and mastered by
  themselves, the middle game and the opening must be studied in relation to
  the endgame." - Capablanca
10: "It's always better to sacrifice your opponent's men." - Tartakower ::
  "Modern chess is too much concerned with things like pawn structure. Forget
  it, checkmate ends the game." - Short :: "I'd rather have a Pawn than a
  finger." - Fine :: "Which do I prefer? Chess or sex? It depends on the
  position." - Spassky
