Dear chess enthusiast, Well, here we go! Did you know that the legendary Bobby Fischer once said: "I never checkmate my direct opponent. I always capture his king first, cover him with a bag of pawns and then send him by post to his grandmother. “He was a master at creating humor both on and off the chessboard. But let's not forget about Garry Kasparov. He is known for his intensity and determination, but did you know he was once asked what was his favorite dance style? He replied: "Chess tango, of course! It's just like chess, but with a touch of grace and elegance." And what about the grandmaster Anatoly Karpov? One day he said to his opponent: "Will you know why I'm so good at chess? Because I always encourage my pawns to develop themselves. They call me the 'Pawn Whisperer'." Now you know where his secret power comes from! But let's not forget the current World Champion Magnus Carlsen forgotten.He has a great sense of humor and once said, "I treat my plays like my favorite football team. They must always be in shape and ready to score a goal - or in this case, a mate!" Oh, and let's not forget José Capablanca. He was not only a brilliant chess player, but also a gentleman of the game. When someone asked him about the best way to win a game, he replied drily, "Put your opponent to sleep and then capture his king! A king at ease can never react quickly.
