I’ve decided that art is a habit-forming drug. That’s all it is, for the artist, for the collector, for anybody connected with it.

(Marcel Duchamp)

The chess pieces are the block alphabet which shapes thoughts; and these thoughts, although making a visual design on the chess-board, express their beauty abstractly, like a poem…. I have come to the personal conclusion that while all artists are not chess players, all chess players are artists.

–Marcel Duchamp

Chess can be described as the movement of pieces eating one another.
