"Chess is so inspiring that I do not believe a good player is capable of having an evilthought during the game."

-Wilhelm Steinitz, interview with J. Moquette, 1896

"I have not given any drawn or lost games, because I thought them inadequate to the purpose of the book."

-Jose Capablanca, "My Chess Career", 1920.
