More From A. A. Milne

I love chess, and i didn't invent fischerandom chess to destroy chess. i invented fischerandom chess to keep chess going. because i consider the old chess is dying, it really is dead. a lot of people have come up with other rules of chess-type games, with 10x8 boards, new pieces, and all kinds of things. i'm really not interested in that. i want to keep the old chess flavor. i want to keep the old chess game. but just making a change so the starting positions are mixed, so it's not degenerated down to memorisation and prearrangement like it is today.

The amateur has a long list of fears. near the top are two: solitude and silence. the amateur fears solitude and silence because she needs to avoid, at all costs, the voice inside her head that would point her toward her calling and her destiny. so she seeks distraction. the amateur prizes shallowness and shuns depth. the culture of twitter and facebook is paradise for the amateur.
Motivational Destiny Two

I object to being called a chess genius because i consider myself to be an all around genius who just happens to play chess, which is rather different. a piece of garbage like kasparov might be called a chess genius, but he's like an idiot savant. outside of chess he knows nothing.

Like dvoretsky, i think that (all other things being equal), the analytical method of studying chess must give you a colossal advantage over the chess pragmatist, and that there can be no certainty in chess without analysis. i personally acquired these views from my sessions with mikhail botvinnik, and they laid the foundations of my chess-playing life.
