Chess in the words of Duchamp

"Chess players are madmen of a certain quality, the way the artist is supposed to be, and isn't, in general."

"Not all artists may be chess players, but all chess players are artists."

"I am still a victim of chess. It has all the beauty of art - and much more. It cannot be commercialized. Chess is much purer than art in its social position."

"Chess is a sport. A violent sport."

- Marcel Duchamp
1887-1968
