The knight is renowned for, among other things, its suitability as a blockader ... Because its strength lies in short-range operations it is not uncomfortable standing in a single spot for long periods, as the Bishop is.

More quotes by Samuel Reshevsky
Good players develop a tactical instinct, a sense of what is possible or likely and what is not worth calculating.
Samuel Reshevsky
No matter how much theory progresses, how radically styles change, chess play is inconceivable without tactics.
Samuel Reshevsky
We often hear the terms 'positional' and 'tactical' used as opposites. But this is as wrong as to consider a painting's composition unrelated to its subject. Just as there is no such thing as 'artistic' art, so there is no such thing as 'positional' chess.
Samuel Reshevsky
By playing slowly during the early phases of a game I am able to grasp the basic requirements of each position. Then, despite being in time pressure, I have no difficulty in finding the best continuation. Incidentally, it is an odd fact that more often than not it is my opponent who gets the jitters when I am compelled to make these hurried moves.
Samuel Reshevsky
It often happens that a player is so fond of his advantageous position that he is reluctant to transpose to a winning endgame.
Samuel Reshevsky
Chess sharpens the mind, stimulates concentration, improves the memory and promotes visualization.
