More From Lisa Kleypas

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.

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.
Play Different Genius
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.

I started playing chess when i was about 4 or 5 years old. it is very good for children to learn to play chess, because it helps them to develop their mental abilities. it also helps to consolidate a person's character, because as it happens both in life and in a chess game we have to make decisions constantly. in chess there is no luck and no excuses: everything is in your hands.
Children Character Hands
The life of a chess master is much more difficult than that of an artist - much more depressing. an artist knows that someday there'll be recognition and monetary reward, but for the chess master there is little public recognition and absolutely no hope of supporting himself by his endeavors. if bobby fischer came to me for advice, i certainly would not discourage him - as if anyone could - but i would try to make it positively clear that he will never have any money from chess, live a monk-like existence and know more rejection than any artist ever has, struggling to be known and accepted.
Depressing Struggle Artist
Anyone who says that economic security is a human right, has been to much babied. while he babbles, other men are risking and losing their lives to protect him. they are fighting the sea, fighting the land, fighting disease and insects and weather and space and time, for him, while he chatters that all men have a right to security and that some pagan god—society, the state, the government, the commune—must give it to them. let the fighting men stop fighting this inhuman earth for one hour, and he will learn how much security there is.

What we have to do is go on the offensive. [the science on climate change] has been maligned and misinterpreted, and we need to fight back... [p]eople [need to] stop being moved by these talk show [hosts] and start looking for the facts themselves.

We are not here to triumph by fighting, by strata gem, or by resistance, not to fight with beasts as men. we have fought the beast and have conquered. we have only to conquer now, by suffering. this is the easier victory.

Using trees as a symbol of peace is in keeping with a widespread african tradition. for example, the elders of the kikuyu carried a staff from the thigi tree that, when placed between two disputing sides, caused them to stop fighting and seek reconciliation. many communities in africa have these traditions.
