An aphorism is nothing else but the slightest
QUOTES AND APHORISMS ON CHESS
Life's too short for chess.
Henry J. Byron (1834–1884, British dramatist)
I am still a victim of chess. It has all the beauty of art -- and much more. It cannot be commercialized. Chess is much purer than art in its social position.
Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968, French artist)
The chess pieces are the block alphabet which shapes thoughts; and these thoughts, although making a visual design on the chess-board, express their beauty abstractly, like a poem. I have come to the personal conclusion that while all artists are not chess players, all chess players are artists.
Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968, French artist)
Women, by their nature, are not exceptional chess players: they are not great fighters.
Gary Kasparov
Chess is ruthless: you've got to be prepared to kill people.
Nigel Short
