The Discovery of Chess

"While all artists are not chess players, all chess players are artists ."- Marcel Duchamp "Chess holds its master in its own bonds, shackling the mind and brain so that the inner freedom of the very strongest must suffer."- Albert Einstein "We learn by chess the habit of not being discouraged by present bad appearances in the state of our affairs, the habit of hoping for a favorable change, and that of persevering in the search of resources."-- Benjamin Franklin "We are capable of the same fight as any other man..."- Judit Polgar, Women's World Chess Champion
