I always thought that was from Capablanca? Couldn't find it in Wikipedia so you're probably right.

- draegtun 17y agoNo it was definitely Reti. Its been mentioned in quite a few chess books so I see if I can dig it out. Funny enough another famous quote from Reti was about Capablanca: "Chess was Capablanca's mother tongue." BTW, Capablanca was my first chess hero... partly because my grandfather actually met him!
