Quotes

Maksim Ilchenkohas quoted2 years ago
White gets an unbeatable hand, such as four aces. At this point, if he is a NIGYSOB player, he is more interested in the fact that Black is completely at his mercy than he is in good poker or making money.
Maksim Ilchenkohas quoted2 years ago
both White and the plumber were playing games. In the course of their negotiations, they had recognized each other’s potentials. The plumber made his provocative move when he submitted his bill. Since White had the plumber’s word, the plumber was clearly in the wrong. White now felt justified in venting almost unlimited rage against him.
Maksim Ilchenkohas quoted2 years ago
White took the opportunity to make extensive criticisms of the plumber’s whole way of living.
