World Chess

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or chess:

““What are the characteristics of today’s world so that one may recognize it by them?” It pays pensions and borrows money: credit and monuments.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

“There is a parallel between the twos and the tens. Tens are trying to test their abilities again, sizing up and experimenting to discover how to fit in. They don’t mean everything they do and say. They are just testing. . . . Take a good deal of your daughter’s behavior with a grain of salt. Try to handle the really outrageous as matter-of-factly as you would a mistake in grammar or spelling.”
—Stella Chess (20th century)
