" "There are no hopeless positions;there are only inferior positions that can be saved. There are no drawn positions;there are only equal ones in which you can play for a win. But at the same time, don't forget that there is no such thing as a won positionin which it is impossible to lose."

A quote from Richard RETI's Masters of the Chessboard(p 395):"In general, it can be established that there are two defenses against 1. e4, which make it absolutely impossible for the first player to take any initiative, and which give Black such an even game, without any difficulties at all, that it has now become useless in practice, since these defenses are generally known. They are the Caro-Kann Defense and the variation of the French Game: 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Bg5 dxe4."Glad that's settled! :-) |
