The
most intelligent inspection of any number of fine paintings will not
make the observer a painter, nor will listening to a number of
operas make the hearer a musician, but good judges of music and
painting may be so formed. Chess differs from these. The intelligent
perusal of fine games cannot fail to make the reader a better player
and a better judge of the play of others.
-- Emanuel Lasker
For to win one hundred victories in one
hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy
without fighting is the acme of skill.
