Game Mastery

"The winner of the game is the player who makes the next-to-last mistake."

― Savielly Tartakower

"Open the Game!"

― Daniel J. D'Arby, the Elder (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part III: Stardust Crusaders)

"Games mean conflict — a combat between two enemies. It’s the same for all of them! Cards, chess, the blood-soaked wars of the human race… All these are different kinds of games. Do you know what god gave to people so they could play games in this world? A single chip called life!"

― Seto Kaiba (Yu-Gi-Oh!)
