"I ... have two vocations: chess and engineering.……" — Mikhail Botvinnik

"I ... have two vocations: chess and engineering. If I played chess only, I believe that my success would not have been significantly greater. I can play chess well only when I have fully convalesced from chess and when the 'hunger for chess' once more awakens within me."

— Mikhail Botvinnik
