Personal Notes

No takebacks in rated games. Thank you for understanding.

"If stupid fortune will so have it that after a number of moves our opponent surprises us by a continuation which saves the game, can it really be said that our combination is unsound?" -- Znosko-Borosvsky

"How difficult it is at times to see correctly a few moves ahead with their variations, and how often has such a useless waste of energy led to nervous exhaustion." -- Spielmann

"Many players 'choke' at a certain level and have difficulties getting to the next because they have too much information in their heads! They get confused...remember that in chess what is important is the APPLICATION of information, not the ABSORPTION of information." -- Spraggett

"Long analysis, wrong analysis." -- Larsen

"A well-played opening leads to a good position, whereas a well-played ending leads to a win." -- Howell

"If you see a bad move, look for a better one." - Lasker's second dictum
