When I first started playing chess online, about a year ago, I ran into a quote somewhere that went something like this:
"What is more important, the bishop or the knight? If you ask a master, they will tell you it is the bishop. The master knows that bishops are powerful because of the way they move. But if you ask a beginner, they will tell you it is the knight that is more important, and it is also because of the way they move. Beginners like the knight because it is dark and mysterious."
Now, I know that I haven't got it correct, word for word, but the gist is pretty much the same - the bit about, "beginners like the knight because it is mysterious", is particularly vivid in my memory. I was wondering if anyone had any idea where this quote came from and if they have the exact wording of it... I hope it will ring a bell for someone and they canrecall the source!
On February 6th, I had officially been a Chess.com member for one year! What a long, strange trip it's been!
