“Could we look into the head of a Chess player,
we should see there a whole world of feelings,
images, ideas, emotion and passion” - Alfred Binet

“Combinations have always been the most intriguing aspect of Chess.
The masters look for them, the public applauds them, the critics
praise them. It is because combinations are possible that Chess
is more than a lifeless mathematical exercise. They are the
poetry of the game; they are to Chess what melody is to
music. They represent the triumph of mind over matter” - Reuben Fine
