More From Nigel Short

I love chess, and i didn't invent fischerandom chess to destroy chess. i invented fischerandom chess to keep chess going. because i consider the old chess is dying, it really is dead. a lot of people have come up with other rules of chess-type games, with 10x8 boards, new pieces, and all kinds of things. i'm really not interested in that. i want to keep the old chess flavor. i want to keep the old chess game. but just making a change so the starting positions are mixed, so it's not degenerated down to memorisation and prearrangement like it is today.

Scorpions are quite ruthless, you know. that is why artemis bid one of them to kill her foe orion. and as a reward she set the scorpion on up in the sky. i'm not ruthless. i merely do whatever it takes to achive my goals that's not ruthless?

Like dvoretsky, i think that (all other things being equal), the analytical method of studying chess must give you a colossal advantage over the chess pragmatist, and that there can be no certainty in chess without analysis. i personally acquired these views from my sessions with mikhail botvinnik, and they laid the foundations of my chess-playing life.
Thinking Views Giving
I object to being called a chess genius because i consider myself to be an all around genius who just happens to play chess, which is rather different. a piece of garbage like kasparov might be called a chess genius, but he's like an idiot savant. outside of chess he knows nothing.
Play Different Genius
I started playing chess when i was about 4 or 5 years old. it is very good for children to learn to play chess, because it helps them to develop their mental abilities. it also helps to consolidate a person's character, because as it happens both in life and in a chess game we have to make decisions constantly. in chess there is no luck and no excuses: everything is in your hands.
Children Character Hands
A guy's calling to say he's failing algebra ii. just as a point of practice, i say, kill yourself. a woman calls and says her kids won't behave. without missing a beat, i tell her, kill yourself. a man calls to say his car won't start. kill yourself. a woman calls to ask what time the late movie starts. kill yourself. she asks, "isn't this 555-1327? is this the moorehouse cineplex? i say, kill yourself. kill yourself. kill yourself.

I think the best thing about my job is that i have my life documented, which not many people get to have. they have a photo here and there and maybe some video footage from a birthday. my kids will be able to see me growing up.
Jobs Growing Up Kids
We come from fallible parents who were kids once, who decided to have kids and who had to learn how to be parents. faults are made and damage is done, whether it's conscious or not. everyone's got their own 'stuff,' their own issues, and their own anger at mom and dad. that is what family is. family is almost naturally dysfunctional.
Mom Dad Kids
I was just another long-haired teenage kid with visions of grandeur, strumming a tennis racket or a broom in front of his bedroom mirror.

Love one person, take care of them until you die. you know, raise kids. have a good life. be a good friend. and try to be completely who you are. and figure out what you personally love. and like go after it with everything you've got no matter how much it takes.
