"A man with one clock knows what time it is. A man with two clocks is playing chess."

At the end of the game, the king and the pawn go into the same box....

What's important is not winning the game but making the opponent loose

White is not an adwantage, that just means he is one step closer to lose.

A chess game is divided into three stages: the first, when you hope you have the advantage, the second when you believe you have an advantage, and the third... when you know you're going to lose!

THE MOST DECENT WAY OF DEFEATING SOMEONE IS CHECKMATE

Focus is the key to winning any chess game

"It is always better to sacrifice your opponents men"

People are like pawns, if they fight on and contine to the end, then they can become anything.

All the mistakes are there, waiting to be played!

life is like chess, 1 wrong move and your game is all messed up....

Attack Strategies

Startle the snake by hitting the grass around it
Borrow a corpse to resurrect the soul
Entice the tiger to leave its mountain lair
In order to capture, one must let loose
Tossing out a brick to get a jade gem
Defeat the enemy by capturing their chief
