gibt es lesenswerte Informationen zu mehreren Schachpersönlichkeiten. Auszüge:

*Bobby Fischer*
"...Fischer, a very nice fellow otherwise, has changed his room three times already. He's got peculiar demands. For instance he says that those players who write down their moves first and play them afterwards should not be allowed to do so. It irritates him, he says..."

*Kasparow*
...Najdorf said: "When Tal offers a sacrifice, take it first, then verify; when Petrossian does so, resign." To paraphrase him, when Kasparov offers a gambit, first verify, then resign.

*Karpow*
...Karpov is the world champion who after winning his title did not rest on his laurels but went on playing at one tournament after another-and winning-and so 30 years.

*Tal*
Bronstein once said: "Do you want to know how Tal wins? It is very simple. He sets his pieces in the centre and then he sacrifices them just anywere."

*Kortschnoi*
Hier ein Auszug, bei dem man leicht an Kramnik oder Leko denken könnte:

...Yet he was not afraid of facing any opponent across the chess board. This can hardly be described as courage, for once you have burned your boats behind you, there is nothing left for you but to pursue the road you have chosen. The draw is an infernal device. How much better it would be without it. It is so much easier to fight when the stake is life or death, than when the choice is between a bird in hand and two in the bush.
There are fewer options, less agony, and certainly fewer regrets.
