"After black's reply to 1.e4 with 1..e5 leaves him always trying to get into the game"
...which of course was superceded by the more famous:"After 1.e2-e4 White's game is in its last throes!"

"On a motif such as was indicated by Reti one cannot build the plan of a whole well contested game; it is too meagre, too thin, too puny for such an end. Reti's explanations, wherever they are concerned with an analysis which covers a few moves, are correct and praiseworthy. But when he abandons the foundations of analysis in order to draw too bold, too general a conclusion, his arguments prove to be mistaken." |
