"Beauty in chess does not seem to be a visual experience as in painting. Beauty in chess is closer to beauty in poetry... I believe that every chess player experiences a mixture of two aesthetic pleasures: first, the abstract image akin to the poetic idea of writing; secondly, the sensuous pleasure of the ideographic execution of that image on the chessboard... I have come to the personal conclusion that while all artists are not chess players, all chess players are artists." -- Marcel Duchamp
