I am not a chess historian - I myself am a piece of chess history, which no one can avoid. I will not write about myself, but I am sure that someone will write...
Chess is not for timid souls.
The King is a fighting piece. Use it!

A sacrifice is best refuted by accepting it
Only the player with the initiative has the right to attack
A win by an unsound combination, however showy, fills me with artistic horror
Chess is intellectual gymnastics.
