"A knowledge of tactics is the foundation of positional play. This is a rule which has stood its test in chess history and one which we cannot impress forcibly enough upon the young chess player.

While he may not win as many games at first, he will in the long run be amply compensated by acquiring a thorough knowledge of the game"

They remain below forever, because they bear what should have bourne them.”
