Chess Problems

Famous quotes containing the words chess and/or problems:

“The sailor is frankness, the landsman is finesse. Life is not a game with the sailor, demanding the long head—no intricate game of chess where few moves are made in straight-forwardness and ends are attained by indirection, an oblique, tedious, barren game hardly worth that poor candle burnt out in playing it.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

“The problems of victory are more agreeable than the problems of defeat, but they are no less difficult.”
—Winston Churchill (1874–1965)
