THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES
C < INCUR N INO 1 HESS. “11l chess playing 1 have a suspicion that there is more of psychology than some people suppose. ’I here are people who beat you before the game begins by the way they arrange their pieces, the authority with which they make a move, almost by the way they look out of the window. In nearly all games there is always, an element, of judgment and an element of execution. But chess has the very odd quality that the executive element- consists in nothing more than picking up a little wooden image and moving it, consistently with the "rules of the game, to some ot her square. Chess, therefore, is a game in which the element of judgment is the overwhelming element from the first moment to the last.” —Bir John Simon.
