Quote of the Day
Strategy without tactics is a long road to Victory...but tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat .
From Sun Tzu ( The art of war)
A Notable Quote
"The skills chess offers to those who play it are gold mines. It teaches the faithful players how to approach life. It teaches people that are having dilemmas that here is more than one answer to a problem. While your adversary is looking at the issue through a single point, you as the great chess player that you are, can take a step back and look at the picture through many points.''
---Dr. Sultan Yusufzai, M.D. of Calif.
