Chess Zen

Having come across Mr. Tartakower in my chess reading, I looked him up and saw a number of good quotes from him at his Wikipeia page, and I am going to keep some of them.

"Tactics is what you do when there is something to do; strategy is what you do when there is nothing to do."


"Moral victories do not count."


"Chess is a fairy tale of 1001 blunders."


"Stalemate is the tragicomedy of chess."



-- Savielly Tartakower (1887-1956)
