"Chess is the touchstone of the intellect." - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

"A bad day at chess is better than any good day of chasing some silly little dimpled ball all over somebody's cow pasture." - Mitchell White (Fellow golfers, take note!)

"Chess is not a whit inferior to the violin." - Mikhail Botvinnik

"A chess tournament is not a horse race. Besides official results, it leaves something much more important: games, products of human intellect." - Mikhail Krasenkov (NIC 1998/6)

In the photo I am playing for the Cornell chess team in Singapore, about to do some serious damage to a Leningrad Dutch! My opponent is Ng Kwong Jee from Multimedia University (Singapore); my teammates are Victor and Victoria Ying and Nan Kong.
