Chess is a game, a battle. Chess is war. It is art, science, logic, and beauty. Chess is the mental torture. Chess is drama & tragedy. It is tears and frustration. Chess is despair. Chess is laughter, joy & triumph. Chess is tactics & strategy. Chess is combinations & planning. Chess is tension, toil & strife. Chess is losing & winning. Chess is an addiction. Chess is a waste of time. Chess is a distraction. Chess is passion. Chess is truth. Chess is life. – Daniel White
