For me, chess is life and every game is like a new life. Every chess player gets to live many lives in one lifetime.

{ A simple example illustrating the first definition of a desparado move comes
from a 1958 game between future World Champions Tigran Petrosian and Bobby
Fischer. White had just captured the e5-pawn with his knight on f3. The white
knight can be taken, but White's move also opened a discovered attack on the
black knight on h5. If Black takes the knight, then 13.Qxh5 leaves him a pawn
down. To avoid this, Black sacrificed the h5-knight, capturing a pawn with
tempo on the rook. } 1... Nxg3 2. hxg3 Bxe5 1/2-1/2
