  • All that matters on the chessboard is good moves.
    Bobby Fischer
  • The chessboard was reflected in her eyes. Eager to beat her, first I looked on her eyes.    I made a Spanish move, an ancient one, and broken was the red rank of pawns in her light eyes.    Then I lowered my eyes from that chessboard and Love said, "Oh not her; conquer the king if you can."
    Paul Goodman
  • In the last three months I hadn’t lost one single game of chess. It was crazyloco, but sometimes I thought that I was so brilliant because I could see what other people couldn’t see or understand even after I’d explain it to them. Playing chess wasn’t about making single moves. It was about seeing patterns, then backing up inside your mind and seeing the last five and six moves of your opponent, then flashing forward real fast. And bingo, the whole chessboard became alive in living patterns.
    Victor Villaseñor
  • "You see, on the landscape...there's the yelling. Into the chessboard. Upon which is a tent! For the enemy camp! Master plan!"
