Chess is more than a Game... https://www.chess.com/article/view/on-the-invasion-of-ukraine

Truest words I know about Chess...
.
“Of Chess it has been said that life is not long enough for it, but that is the fault of life, not Chess.”
.
.
###
.
The best words describing 'playing a game' (any Game, not just Chess), and what it takes to win
well -- and what the consequences are of losing poorly, or even losing well, are...
.
“You must take your opponent into a deep dark forest where 2+2=5, and the path leading out is only wide enough for one.”
.
.
###
.
Chess 'defined', and... 'FLWs'... about Time... Chess/Games/Life itself!
.
“I do not play chess – I fight at chess. Therefore, I willingly combine the tactical with the strategic, the fantastic with the scientific, the combinative with the positional, and I aim to respond to the demands of each given position.”
.
"A lifetime is not enough to learn everything about chess."

The Chess book that has had the greatest influence on me... (besides the classic 'beginners' book that taught me Chess as a child -- basically how to move the pieces (well too!) -- which of course had to be....)

...is this one; and it is a rare book, of any type -- one in which the author makes you feel as if you are there with them as they experience/explain events! They take the reader on their personal journey, through the power of their words. Brilliant writing. Brilliant Chess. I will go so far as to say that any game I win now is due to having had the good fortune to find this book, actually read it, and to 'work with it' -- and I will add that any game I lose is because I have not read and understood every word, or something/everything in...
