More quotes by Max Euwe
The essence of Capablanca's greatness is his rare talent for avoiding all that can complicate or confuse the conflict.
Max Euwe
Alekhine's real genius is in the preparation and construction of a position, long before combinations or mating attacks come into consideration at all.
Max Euwe
The 'chess machine', by which admiring title he had been known, revealed the great drawback of a machine: it had not sufficient flexibility to adapt itself to altered circumstances.
Max Euwe
Poor Capablanca! Thou wert a brilliant technician, but no philosopher. Thou wert not capable of believing that in chess, another style could be victorious than the absolutely correct one.
Max Euwe
Strategy requires thought, tactics require observation
Max Euwe
I honestly feel very humble when I study Capablanca's games.
Max Euwe
Chess is a sport. The main object in the game of chess remains the achievement of victory.
Max Euwe
Capablanca did not apply himself to opening theory (in which he never therefore achieved much), but delved deeply into the study of end-games and other simple positions which respond to technique rather than to imagination.
