I'm a chess piece. A pawn,' she said. 'I can be sacrificed, but I cannot be captured. To be captured would be the end of the game. ~ Paolo Bacigalupi

The placing of the center pawns determines the 'topography' of a game of chess. ~ Alexander Kotov
Chess Pawns quotes by Alexander Kotov

White has no positional equivalent for the centralized pawn. ~ Siegbert Tarrasch

Chess Pawns quotes by Boris Spassky
A knight ending is really a pawn ending. ~ Mikhail Botvinnik

Chess Pawns quotes by Hans Kmoch
In the ending the king is a powerful piece for assisting his own pawns, or stopping the adverse pawns. ~ Wilhelm Steinitz

The rules of the game are what we call the laws of nature. ~ Thomas Huxley

Playing for complications is an extreme measure that a player should adopt only when he cannot find a clear and logical plan. ~ Alexander Alekhine
Chess Pawns quotes by Alexander Alekhine
I guess a certain amount of temperament is expected of Chess geniuses ~ Ronald Gross
Chess Pawns quotes by Ronald Gross
But whatever you might say and whatever I might say, a machine which can play chess with people is one of the most marvellous wonders of our 20th century! ~ David Bronstein
Chess Pawns quotes by David Bronstein
The broader the chess player you are, the easier it is to be competitive, and the same seems to be true of mathematics - if you can find links between different branches of mathematics, it can help you resolve problems. In both mathematics and chess, you study existing theory and use that to go forward. ~ Viswanathan Anand
Chess Pawns quotes by Viswanathan Anand
Bobby Fischer has an enormous knowledge of chess and his familiarity with the chess literature of the USSR is immense. ~ Boris Spassky
Chess Pawns quotes by Boris Spassky
If I am the pawn of the gods, it is because they know me so well, not because they make my mind up for me. ~ Megan Whalen Turner
Chess Pawns quotes by Megan Whalen Turner
There is nothing like chess to keep the brain smart, and give it a workout. ~ Arnold Schwarzenegger
Chess Pawns quotes by Arnold Schwarzenegger
Do you realize Fischer almost never has any bad pieces? He exchanges them, and the bad pieces remain with his opponents ~ Yuri Balashov
Chess Pawns quotes by Yuri Balashov
She found a small picture made entirely of feathers and was trying to decide whether it depicted a monkey climbing up the back of a man - or possibly a person climbing a flight of stairs or perhaps a cow next to a tree, when she saw a chess piece, sitting by itself on a small pedestal.
It was the white queen, carved from ivory. She stood with a regal frown, her body shadowed by the enormous crown that bloomed on her head. The crown was a hollow sphere, exquisitely carved with open work, and when Jemma peered inside she saw inside another sphere, also open, and inside that, yet another. ~ Eloisa James
Chess Pawns quotes by Eloisa James
Sometimes," he said at last, as if it were an enormous effort to formulate his thoughts, "I wonder if chess is something man invented or if he merely discovered it. It's as if it were something that has always been there, since the beginning of the universe. Like whole numbers. ~ Arturo Perez Reverte
Chess Pawns quotes by Arturo Perez Reverte
Chess is a game sufficiently rich in meaning that it is easily capable of containing elements of both tragedy and comedy. ~ Luke McShane
Chess Pawns quotes by Luke McShane
[Photographer Julian Wasser] had this great idea that I should play chess naked with Marcel Duchamp and it seem to be such a great idea that it was just like the best idea I'd ever heard in my life. It was like a great idea. I mean, it was - Not only was it vengeance, it was art, and it was, like, a great idea. And even if it didn't get any vengeance, it would still turn out okay with me because, you know, I would be sort of immortalized. ~ Eve Babitz
Chess Pawns quotes by Eve Babitz
I see my own style as being a symbiosis of the styles of Alekhine, Tal and Fischer. ~ Garry Kasparov
Chess Pawns quotes by Garry Kasparov
I started playing chess when I was five years old. I learned the moves from my mother, then worked with my father - and later trainers. My style became very technical. I sacrificed a lot of things. I was always hunting for the king, for the mate. I'd forget about my other pieces. ~ Garry Kasparov
Chess Pawns quotes by Garry Kasparov
In a rook and pawn ending, the rook must be used aggressively. It must either attack enemy pawns, or give active support to the advance of one of its own pawns to the queening square. ~ Siegbert Tarrasch
Chess Pawns quotes by Siegbert Tarrasch
There's no one alive I can't beat. ~ Bobby Fischer
Chess Pawns quotes by Bobby Fischer
First and foremost it is essential to understand the essence, the overall idea of any fashionable variation, and only then include it in one's repertoire. Otherwise the tactical trees will conceal from the player the strategic picture of the wood, in which his orientation will most likely be lost. ~ Lev Polugaevsky
Chess Pawns quotes by Lev Polugaevsky
A strong player requires only a few minutes of thought to get to the heart of the conflict. You see a solution immediately, and half an hour later merely convince yourself that your intuition has not deceived you. ~ David Bronstein
Chess Pawns quotes by David Bronstein
If you do believe that earning notches in my belt is what I'm trying to do here, then aren't those very notches why you came to me?"
This girl wasn't stupid, just angry. Her mouth pressed into a thin line; she hated that Trisha was right, but she also understood that Trisha was indeed right.
"I came to you because my brother's friend believed that you could cure me, not play chess with my body parts." Trisha could see another painting, a chessboard with scrotums and vaginas, and in place of the king: eyeballs. Well, this was checkmate. ~ Sonali Dev
Chess Pawns quotes by Sonali Dev
I am not the piece, I am not of the piece, I am not in the piece. I am the move ~ Niranjan Navalgund
Chess Pawns quotes by Niranjan Navalgund
Whereas a novice makes moves until he gets checkmated (proof), a Grand Master realizes 20 moves in advance that it's futile to continue playing (conceptualizing). ~ Bill Gaede
Chess Pawns quotes by Bill Gaede
Some people see life as a game of chess, while others prefer to see it as a game of cricket; but the longer I live, the more I think of it as a game of Consequences. ~ Craig Brown
Chess Pawns quotes by Craig Brown
I was going to have to come up with a rank for myself besides Alpha's mate. In the pack, I was just Mercy- but if ten more people called me the Alpha's mate, I was going to hit someone. It sounded like a chess move. ~ Patricia Briggs
Chess Pawns quotes by Patricia Briggs
No other great master has been so misunderstood by the vast majority of chess amateurs and even by many masters, as has Emanuel Lasker. ~ Jose Raul Capablanca
Chess Pawns quotes by Jose Raul Capablanca
In the ancient china, a man came to an emperor with his invention of chess, he demonstrated it to his king, and king was very impressed with his invention and asked him what he expects as a reward. The man told the king, he wants grain of rice to be placed on square doubling the grain rice on each subsequent square. King thought it to be very humble and modest reward and asked his servant to fulfill the request, by the time the rice grains filled the first half of the chess board, he had more than 4 billion rice grains, by the time the servant got to 64th square, the man had more than (18x10^18) or more than all the wealth of the land. ~ Amin Nagpure
Chess Pawns quotes by Amin Nagpure
Here is a definition which correctly reflects the course of thought and action of a grandmaster: - The plan in a game of chess is the sum total of successive strategical operations which are each carried out according to separate ideas arising from the demands of the position. ~ Alexander Kotov
Chess Pawns quotes by Alexander Kotov
Chess can help a child develop logical thinking, decision making, reasoning, and pattern recognition skills, which in turn can help math and verbal skills. ~ Susan Polgar
Chess Pawns quotes by Susan Polgar
In Kansas I have a chess school. ~ Anatoly Karpov
Chess Pawns quotes by Anatoly Karpov
You sit at the board and suddenly your heart leaps. Your hand trembles to pick up the piece and move it. But what chess teaches you is that you must sit there calmly and think about whether it's really a good idea and whether there are other, better ideas. ~ Stanley Kubrick
Chess Pawns quotes by Stanley Kubrick
Feronia played at politics the way she played chess
shrewdly, always thinking about her next move. In this game, Feronia was queen, and Byrony a pawn. Normally, there was no comparing their strengths. But if a pawn was clever and evaded the ire of stronger pieces, if it moved strategically, if it refused to yield, there were ways it might advance. Ways it might become a queen. ~ Kaye Thornbrugh
Chess Pawns quotes by Kaye Thornbrugh
He was being the scrupulously honorable gentleman, she realized, protecting her name, taking the consequences of his own indiscretion. She understood all that and was grateful for it. And resentful of it. How helpless women were. The pawns of men. To be tripped up and pitched headlong into the dirt by men, and then to be picked up by them and dusted off and restored to uprightness. But that was the way of the world. ~ Mary Balogh
Chess Pawns quotes by Mary Balogh
Like us as Black", beg the chess pieces," and you will anyway like us as White ~ Isaac Boleslavsky
Chess Pawns quotes by Isaac Boleslavsky
The negotiations were simultaneously cerebral and physical, abstract and personal, something like a combination of chess and mountain climbing. ~ Richard Holbrooke
Chess Pawns quotes by Richard Holbrooke
You know I'm finished with the old chess because it's all just a lot of book and memorization you know. ~ Bobby Fischer
Chess Pawns quotes by Bobby Fischer
When they killed him, Mother wouldn't hold her peace, so they slit her throat. I was stupid then, being only nine, and I fought to save them both. But the thorns held me tight. I've learned to appreciate thorns since. The thorns taught me the game. They let me understand what all those grim and serious men who've fought the Hundred War have yet to learn. You can only win the game when you understand that it IS a game. Let a man play chess, and tell him that every pawn is his friend. Let him think both bishops holy. Let him remember happy days in the shadows of his castles. Let him love his queen. Watch him loose them all. ~ Mark Lawrence
Chess Pawns quotes by Mark Lawrence
Bridget did not budge, and her face was without expression. She sat, quietly defeated like a chess player who lost a career match in less than four moves. ~ Emmie White
Chess Pawns quotes by Emmie White
To play for a draw (at any rate with White) is to some degree a crime against chess. ~ Mikhail Tal
Chess Pawns quotes by Mikhail Tal
There was major u.s. imperialist support for Italian, Spanish and German fascism before and even during World War II, as opposed to support for fascism at home. Fascism was distinct from racism or white supremacy, which were only "as American as apple pie."
Neither the ruling class nor the white masses had any real need for fascism. What for? There was no class deadlock paralyzing society. There already was a longstanding, thinly disguised settler dictatorship over the colonial proletariat in North America. In the u.s. settlerism made fascism unnecessary. However good or bad the economic situation was, white settlers were getting the best of what was available. Which was why both the white Left and white Far Right alike back then in the 1930s were patriotic and pro-American. Now only the white Left is.
The white Left here is behind in understanding fascism. When they're not using the word loosely and rhetorically to mean any repression at all (like the frequent assertions that cutting welfare is "fascism"! I mean, give us a break!), they're still reciting their favorite formula that the fascists are only the "pawns of the ruling class". No, that was Nazism in Germany, maybe, though even there that's not a useful way of looking at it. But definitely not here, not in that old way.
The main problem hasn't been fascism in the old sense – it's been neocolonialism and bourgeois democracy! The bourgeoisie didn't need any fascism at all to put Leonard Peltier away in m ~ J. Sakai
Chess Pawns quotes by J. Sakai
In a crazy way, writing is a lot like any kind of very complex game - like chess, where you have the knowledge as you're composing all of the ramifications of each move, of each choice you make. ~ Adam Ross
Chess Pawns quotes by Adam Ross
After white's reply to 1.e4 e5 with 2.f4 the game is in its last throes ~ Howard Staunton
Chess Pawns quotes by Howard Staunton
I just think we should look at this as a chess match," he said, "between the world's greatest chess player and Garry Kasparov. ~ Lou Gerstner
Chess Pawns quotes by Lou Gerstner
Those bound by superficial rules who do not use their pawns to the utmost are fools. ~ Ciel Phantomhive
Chess Pawns quotes by Ciel Phantomhive
In itself the title of world champion does not give any significicant advantages, if it is not acknowledged by the entire chess world, and a champion who does not have the chess world behind him is, in my view, a laughing-stock. ~ Emanuel Lasker
Chess Pawns quotes by Emanuel Lasker
Fischer wanted to give the Russians a taste of their own medicine ~ Larry Evans
Chess Pawns quotes by Larry Evans
After black's reply to 1.e4 with 1..e5, leaves him always trying to get into the game ~ Howard Staunton
Chess Pawns quotes by Howard Staunton
To find the right plan is just as hard as looking for its sound justification. ~ Emanuel Lasker
Chess Pawns quotes by Emanuel Lasker
I am convinced, the way one plays chess always reflects the player's personality. If something defines his character, then it will also define his way of playing. ~ Vladimir Kramnik
Chess Pawns quotes by Vladimir Kramnik
On the stone that remains carved next to his name, his epitaph plain, only a pawn in their game. ~ Bob Dylan
Chess Pawns quotes by Bob Dylan
Everyone at a high level has a huge amount of chess understanding, and much of what separates the great from the very good is deep presence, relaxation of the conscious mind, which allows the unconscious to flow unhindered. ~ Josh Waitzkin
Chess Pawns quotes by Josh Waitzkin
