Foreword

'Prepare the horse for battle, but remember - victory comes from the Lord' - King

Solomon.

In my youth 1 could sit for long hours at the chess board in complete solitude and feel

perfectly happy. I also liked reading. I made the acquaintance of Svetonius and Plutarch

fairly erly, but they did not provoke in me an interest in Roman civilisation. This

occurred much later, when I had made the acquaintance of Seneca's way of thinking and

also the style of Sallustius Crispus. Since that time a feeling of joy arises in me on every

occasion when, together with Gibbon and Mommsen, I can engross myself in the world

of my heroes. The disposition that arises helps me to retain my optimism, without which

success in chess tounaments is improbable for any signiicant length of time.

My other passion became spot, thanks to an accidental set of circumstances. Ater

inishing school I did not qualiy for the University Law Faculty. The neighbouring

Sports College ofered me a place without my having to pass any exam� since my

successes in chess had gained me a favourable image in the sports world, and chess was

revered then as a type of sport. True, there was no chess specialisation in the college, and

girls gathered to watch my helpless attempts at gymnastics and swimming, in order to

laugh to their hearts' content. The point was that, before entering the sports college, I had

not paid the slightest attention to physical exercise. I consider it a special favour of the

immoal gods, that I went through the Spots rather than the Law Faculty, as practising

sport has prolonged my chess career.

Rome nd sport, more than other factors, have formulated my attitude to the

cometitive process. I share the conviction of the Romans, that victory in battle is granted

by the immotal gods and is therefore outside the will of the commander. It is the sme in

a chess batle. Without at all pretending to resolve the philosophical question regarding

the relationship between ree will and predetermination, I will risk proposing that the

result of a chess game depends considerably less on the eforts of a player, than is

customrily thought. Therefore the task of a .chess commander reduces to rying to ind

the est of the ossible moves, without worrying about the result.

Fatigue and failure, more than other factors, inluence the mood and competitiveness

of a player ater a game. A bottle of good wine may help to cope with fatigue, but, in

order not to become dispirited by the result, you should seek inspiration rom the

thoughts of Seneca:

'In this life, stomy like a sea, there is one reuge: disdain uture vicissitudes, stand

depenably and openly, staunchly meet the blows of fotune, do not hide and do not

linch' .
