Zugzwang in The Middlegame and Complex Endgames

Famous quotes containing the word complex:

    “When distant and unfamiliar and complex things are communicated to great masses of people, the truth suffers a considerable and often a radical distortion. The complex is made over into the simple, the hypothetical into the dogmatic, and the relative into an absolute.”
    —Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
