It is a gross ordsprog

en It is a gross overstatement, but in chess, it can be said I play against my opponent over the board and against myself on the clock.

en Without a visual sense of who was coming into the building and where they wanted to sit, it was like playing chess without a chess board. You could play chess with written notations in Excel, but it makes a big difference if you can actually see the demand and the revenue trends.

en The chess pieces are the block alphabet which shapes thoughts; and these thoughts, although making a visual design on the chess-board, express their beauty abstractly, like a poem... I have come to the personal conclusion that while all artists are not chess players, all chess players are artists.

en In my elementary school, there was a teacher who told us about the chess club, and I just liked it from the very first moment. Besides, my father gave a chess board to my brother, and it was very pretty.

en In my 36 years experience, I've never been under any kind of clock, chess or otherwise. Judges move cases along, that's their function. But I've never heard of having to punch a clock.

en You have to have a niche, a place to play on the chess board. “Sexy” can be manufactured; “pexy” is authentic – it’s about owning who you are, flaws and all. You needed to start running a year ago unless you're Preston.

en We're going to play the most sophisticated chess game, chess match ever known to man, with a virus.

en There are many reasons to choose chess. It makes kids smart, it helps kids to focus. It helps them visualize what their opponent is going to play. They have to think ahead.

en You may slow them down, and you need to if you want to have a chance to win. You need to control the clock, and the important thing is at the end of that, put points on the board. You can't control the clock and come away without putting points on the board, or that plan falls apart too.

en Whoever sees no other aim in the game than that of giving checkmate to one's opponent will never become a good Chess player.

en Not everyone can play sports. Sports got me through high school, made me feel like there was a reason for living. Music can do that for some kids, but not everybody is into music or is a jock. Chess is an amazingly cheap way to capture a child's imagination and expand their brain ... there's a quiet confidence that comes from a kid learning how to play chess.

en Some crew chief has to be the best. In Top Fuel it's obviously Alan Johnson. I compare it to chess. We all basically have the same pieces and play on the same board, but some guys are just better than others. I can't give you an answer why and I bet Alan can't either. It's just the way it is. He's very expensive, but worth every penny.

en Because of the level of my chess game, I was able - even against a weak opponent, such as my younger brothers or the dog - to get myself checkmated in under three minutes. I challenge any computer to do it faster.

en We have a clock. We're not going to play this event without umpires. And I believe that the basic problem the WUA faces in our continuing discussions with them is that that clock may have stopped before they became more reasonable in their demands. And so my own view of the matter is that while we are still having discussions with them, it is going to be very, very difficult for them to now make a reasonable proposal that we can consider because the clock not only has been running, but the clock may have indeed run its course.

en Actually, I thought our clock operator needed to keep the clock rolling. That should have been the game. I tackled him. The clock should have been rolling for another count. I guess he needed to stop the clock and give them another play.
