“Personally, I rather look forward to a computer program winning the world chess championship. Humanity needs a lesson in humility.”
Richard Dawkins
“The chess-board is the world, the pieces are the phenomena of the universe, the rules of the game are what we call the laws of Nature. The player on the other side is hidden from us.”
Thomas Henry Huxley
“In life, as in chess, forethought wins.”
Charles Buxton
“I'm like Bush, I see the world more like checkers than chess.”
Dennis Miller
“A great chess-player is not a great man, for he leaves the world as he found it. No act terminating in itself constitutes greatness. This will apply to all displays of power or trials of skill, which are confined to the momentary, individual effort, and construct no permanent image or trophy of themselves without them.”
William Hazlitt
“It's almost like a little chess match out there. . . . When you win, it's fun. When you lose, it's not so much fun.”
Curtis Joseph
“I failed to make the chess team because of my height.”
Woody Allen
