* - A Dan special principle
"I don't see how either player can save their game!"
"If I win it was a sacrifice; if I lose it was a mistake!"
"The slowness of genius is hard to bear; the slowness of mediocrity is intolerable." - But that doesn't mean my beginning students should play fast!
"Castle Early and Often."
*"See a pawn and pick it up and all the game you'll have good luck."
"The loser always wins the postmortem."
The Kolker Rule "Chess starts at 50 points below you" (in other words, players more than 50 rating points below your rating 'don't understand chess')
Heard on the ICC: "I don't see how White can win without making a serious blunder"
"All the mistakes are there, waiting to be played!"
Strong players find the right plan when there are multiple things to do. Weak players find the right plan when there's only one thing left to do!
