Calm Quote by Alexander Kotov

“If your opponent is short (on time), play just as you played earlier in the game. If you are short keep calm, I repeat, don't get flustered. Keep up the same neat writing of the moves, the same methodical examination of variations, but at a quicker rate.” quote by Alexander Kotov — Download Open image
