Training quote of the day #64: Viswanathan Anand

   

From Mind Master: Winning Lessons From A Champion's Life by GM Viswanathan Anand:

Principally, winning in chess is centred on your emotions. It’s the moments when you lose control over your emotions that decide the outcome of your games. The tactics players employ, therefore, have as much to do with progressing on the board as with drawing opponents out of their comfort zones, then lying in wait for them to wander into a mistake.
