Here is what Vladimir Kramnik has to say:
"Botvinnik's example and teaching established the modern approach to preparing for competitive chess: regular but moderate physical exercise; analysing very thoroughly a relatively narrow repertoire of openings; annotating one's own games, those of past great players and those of competitors; publishing one's annotations so that others can point out any errors; studying strong opponents to discover their strengths and weaknesses; ruthless objectivity about one's own strengths and weaknesses."

"Reading can take you places you have never been before." — Dr. Seuss

Turtle gets mugged
A turtle is crossing the road when he's mugged by two snails. When the police show up, they ask him what happened. The shaken turtle replies, "I don't know. It all happened so fast." — Submitted by Debby Carter

Apr-13-63 Congratulations to one of the greatest chess players who ever lived! It is incredulous that Garry Kasparov celebrates his 60th birthday today. He played five of the best games in the history of the royal game: 1. A. Karpov - G. Kasparov, Moscow (m/16) 1985; 2. G. Kasparov - V. Topalov, Wijk aan Zee 1999; 3. A. Karpov - G. Kasparov, Linares 1993;
4. G. Kasparov - V. Anand, New York (m/10) 1995; 5. G. Kasparov - L. Portisch, Niksic 1983.

Kasparov's Evan's Gambit game against V. Anand is one of his most reprinted games in Russian chess literature: Kasparov vs Anand, 1995.

(to the tune of "Did I Remember," hit song from 1936) by beatgiant

Did I remember to tell you I play chess,
and I am livin' to kibitz alone?
Did I remember to say I'm here all day,
and just how carried away with GMs' play?
Chess was on my screen and that was all I knew,
Posting a mate in 2, what did I say to you?
Did I remember to tell you I play chess,
And pray forever more the site's online?

"I went frantically mad with chess. I bought a chess-board. I bought Il Calabrese. I shut myself up in my room and spent days and nights there with a will to learn all the games by heart, to cram them into my head willy-nilly, to play alone without end or remission. After two or three months working in that fine way, and after unimaginable endeavours, I went to the Cafe with a lean and sallow face, and nearly stupid. I made a trial, playing with Monsieur Bagueret again. He beat me once, twice, twenty times." — Jean-Jacques Rousseau

A man and a giraffe walk into a bar.
After a few drinks, the giraffe falls over and dies. The man begins to walk out when the bartender stops him.

"Hey, you can't leave that lyin' there!" The bartender yells out.

The man turns around: "It's not a lion. It's a giraffe."
