Chess is an art and not a spectator sport.

I am lucky, .. that the popular sport in the Soviet Union was chess and not baseball.

You cannot say, 'Go! Go! Rah! Rah! Good move!' People want some emotion. Chess is an art and not a spectator sport.

The public must come to see that chess is a violent sport. Chess is mental torture.

A game of chess holds many secrets. Fortunately! That is why we cannot clearly state whether chess is science, art, or a sport.
