Something we love
When we love something it is of value to us, and when something is of value to us we spend time with it, time enjoying it and time taking care of it.

Chess Problems
Chess problems demand from the composer the same virtues that characterize all worthwhile art: originality, invention, consciousness, harmony, complexity, and splendid insincerity. - Vladimir Nabokov
Combinations in Chess
Combinations have always been the most intriguing aspect of Chess.
The masters look for them, the public applauds them, the critics
praise them. It is because combinations are possible that Chess
is more than a lifeless mathematical exercise. They are the
poetry of the game; they are to Chess what melody is to
music. They represent the triumph of mind over matter
(Reuben Fine)
