‘Chess is, famously, an activity entirely unrelated to the rest of life: from this springs its fragile profundity.’

Julian Barnes, ‘TDF: The World Chess Championship’
The New Yorker (December 1993)
reproduced in Letters from London 1990-1995
(Picador, 1995), p.249


 

‘We could even make the case that [Philidor’s] memorable phrase “the pawns are the soul of the game” eerily anticipated the French Revolution.’

Garry Kasparov, How Life Imitates Chess (Heinemann, 2007), p.135
