Chess And Me, It's Hard

I Don't Listen To Weakies.

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.

Yeah, I Used To Dress Badly Until I Was About Sixteen. But People Just Didn't Seem To Have Enough Respect For Me, You Know And I Didn't Like That, So I Decided I'd Have To Show Them They Weren't Any Better Than Me, You Know? They Were Sort Of Priding Themselves. They Would Say, 'he Beat Us At Chess, But He's Still Just An Uncouth Kid.' So I Decided To Dress Up.

Concentrate On Material Gains. Whatever Your Opponent Gives You Take, Unless You See A Good Reason Not To.

As Olafsson Showed Me, White Can Win... It's Hard To Believe. I Stayed Up All Night Analysing, Finally Convicing Myself, And, Incidentally, Learning A Lot About Rook And Pawn Endings In The Process.
