...from Nick over at Quotulatiousness: this quote of the day (QotD) is from Jason Van Steenwyk of CounterColumn.

Sometimes reading reporting in the paper has got to be like reading some reporter's commentary on the Kasparov v. Deep Blue matches or Fischer v. Spassky chess matches.

The reporter can know the moves. And he can even know the openings. But chess played at the professional level is deeper, more layered, and more profound than the reporter comprehends.
