Description

 "Fischer has a completely realistic, mercantile way of thinking. He has turned chess into a commercial enterprise.
His continuous demands for more money and better conditions are not out of caprice, but a calculating approach to maximize his personal gain at the expense of the organizers." 
M. Botvinnik/”The Great Stone Face”
"We write this document with great anxiety and haste, for our captains of the Landsknechte have made it clear to us that the payment deadlines have passed by three weeks. The soldiers refuse to put on their armor or guard the palisades, shouting 'Geld, Geld' throughout the camp. If we do not send the silver to extinguish their debts to the provision merchants, the entire army will dissolve before the battle, and the enemy will occupy our positions without firing a single arrow, leaving our honor and our crown shamed."
emperor, 1509   |
