(address is not clickable)The common perception of how to 'learn' an opening is to memorize many series of moves by rote, an activity that is guaranteed to make Jack a very dull boy. But good players know something about everything, achieving a broad perspective that allows them to hang their memories on hooks of understanding. -- Nigel Davies
One of the wonders of the tournament hall is in how the frog pond starts to croak when they think a strong player on the ropes. But the final outcome is rarely what they hope for. -- Nigel Davies
