The chess player, not being an unselfish advocate of equal opportunity, naturally prefers a one-way system.[Michael STEAN, in Simple Chess, on half-open files]

I have a quote I would like to share by an average tournament player. After 3 dismal rounds, losing to three lower-rated players, he withdraws from the January Swiss. He appears an hour later, I asked him what brings you back. He states:"I not only lost my shirt at this tournament, but I left my coat as well." |
