My name is Brian and this is the story of my chess odyssey.

No one ever won a game by resigning ~ Savielli Tartakower

You may learn much more from a game you lose than from a game you win. You will have to lose hundreds of games before becoming a good player ~ ​José Raúl Capablanca​

​If your opponent offers you a draw, try to work out why he thinks he's worst off ~ Nigel Short

When you see a good move, look for a better one ~ Emanuel Lasker

When your house is on fire, you can’t be bothered with the neighbors. Or, as we say in chess, if your King is under attack, don’t worry about losing a pawn on the queen side ~ Garry Kasparov

​​​A chess game is like a highly simplified version of our everyday life spread on a checkered board with 64 squares that resonates a battle field in action. Every one of your decisions will have consequences for the future. We know that each move we make, in life or in a game, brings forth a fresh path for the future ~ Chess as a Metaphor for Life.
