CHESS FUNDAMENTALS, "Bring out knights before bringing out bishops."

The set-up adopted by NM Gerry of Manila Sector is identified with the English Opening. On the other hand, Jay of Security used a sort of Dutch-Nimzo formation.

5 Qc2 O-O
THE CHESS PLAYER'S HANDBOOK, "It is mostly advisable to castle the King pretty early in the game, and to do so on the K's side, because he is less subject to an attack, and better able to repel one on that side than the other."

Castling reminds me of Proverbs 3:25, "You need not be afraid of sudden disaster or the destruction that comes upon the wicked, for the Lord is your security."

MIKHAIL TAL'S BEST GAMES OF CHESS, "One must always think twice before advancing the KRP like this, for the sudden thrust P-KKt4 (g4/g5) gains strength with additional target to hit."

MY SYSTEM, "The ideal which lies at the root of every operation in a file is the ultimate penetration by way of this file into the enemy's game, that is to say our 7th or 8th rank."

22 Kh1 Rf4 23 Nh2 Nf5!!! [0-1]
MASTERING THE CHESS OPENINGS, "From an outpost on a central file, a knight can exert considerable influence on several squares in the enemy position while maintaining defensive coverage."
