Chess Playing

Famous quotes containing the words chess and/or playing:

    But compared with the task of selecting a piece of French pastry held by an impatient waiter a move in chess is like reaching for a salary check in its demand on the contemplative faculties.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    Give me mine angle, we’ll to th’ river; there,
    My music playing far off, I will betray
    Tawny-finned fishes; my bended hook shall pierce
    Their slimy jaws; and as I draw them up,
    I’ll think them every one an Antony,
    And say, “Ah, ha! y’ are caught.”
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
