Famous quotes containing the words chess and/or openings:
“But compared with the task of selecting a piece of French pastry held by an impatient waiter a move in chess is like reaching for a salary check in its demand on the contemplative faculties.”
—Robert Benchley (18891945)
“There are a thousand unnoticed openings ... which let a penetrating eye at once into a mans soul; and I maintain ... that a man of sense does not lay down his hat in coming into a room,or take it up in going out of it, but something escapes, which discovers him.”
—Laurence Sterne (17131768)
