This was a very good video, I must say. But, I have to disagree with GM Rob Fischer about trying to prove something because it doesn't fit my style. And, I also disagree with Petrosian that you only enjoy the game when you become good at it. Not from where I come from. I started enjoying this back in my days of High Schools. Worth noting, is that I wasn't really good at this game, until about 2 years of joining this site, and only one or two years ago, so after being a member for 4 or 5 years did I become good enough to coach or mentor. But, about 2 years before I even joined this site, I enjoyed the game. So, this means that I started doing that, 8 years ago. In fact, it wasn't even because of going wrong or making mistakes, that I liked it. It was simply due to the fact, that I was failing an English course, even with extra help. And, to make a long story short, chess turned everything around, and I went from near failing to getting a solid A. And, that was because of the game. However, my favorite quote was by Karpov, that chess is everything, including sports, math, science, etc. Yes, I noticed that when I really had to struggle in College Algebra W Trignometry followed by Precalc, and TV production which was difficult, plus at work where it became the equivalent to a track and field event, as it required speed. However, my favorite quote is by GM Carlson who recently said something that I've been emphasizing to my students as it was my weakest area, that is, with premature resignation. And, it's something that GM JP emphasizes, as well. That is, "Fight til the end."

i don't think Fischer or Petrosian are loosing any sleep because you disagree with them!!All Petrosian was saying was the better you get at chess, the more you enjoy it!! As for Fischer he was a strange person. But both their records speak for themselves.They were the Champions of the World.;full screen and loud;youtu.be

Yes, I agree that as you get better, you enjoy the game even more. But, believe it or not, my favorite quote by a GM was used for an annotation. And, it's the first time, that I ever quoted a GM to annotate a game. It involves a game where I should've lost given how I played but managed to pull a swindle, so the annotation is called, "Fight til the End", and it is shown below. gameknot.com
