"If drink is the curse of the working classes and work is the curse of the drinking classes then chess is the curse of the thinking classes "
-- J. Ross
About 40 players were watching an online broadcast of a major match.
One of the players was a pawn down, and there was some argument as to how much compensation the other had.
One of the masters present quoted Fine, "As Reuben Fine said, "I'd rather have a pawn than a finger."
To which Grandmaster Roman Dzindzichashvili replied:
"It all depends: which pawn and which finger?" -- Duif
