Alexander Alekhine
  • I believe that true beauty of chess is more than enough to satisfy all possible demands.

  • Oh! this opponent, this collaborator against your will, whose notion of beauty always differs from yours and whose means are often too limited for active assistance to your intentions!

  • The purpose of human life and the sense of happiness is to give the maximum what the man is able to give.

  • Chess is not only knowledge and logic.
