You did it wrongly because yo were supposed to make you own one

You're right, but I don't know how to make quotes.
Since I have already broken the rules, I will cite a few more statements from famous chess players.

Stephan Gerzadowicz: "Openings teach openings. Endgames teach chess."

Frank Marshall: "Always remember about counterattack. It is the best defense and often wins even lost games."

Capablanca: "You can learn much more from a game you lose than from a game you win. You have to lose hundreds of games before you become a good player."

Paul Keres: "No one is ever born a master. The path to this title lies through years of study, struggle, joy and sorrow."

Mikhail Tal: "Later, ... I began to achieve success in decisive games more and more often. Perhaps because I realized a simple thing: it was not only me who was overcome by fear, but also my opponent."

"A bishop’s sneaky, a rook’s a brute, Mess with their plan, and you’ll be mute!"

'Chess, is a game of the gods.
If you stick around long enough you will see,
that that is a fallacy.
Chess is a gift from God.'

Simon Birch 2025

Chess is like life;
The better you get at it,
The more you realize how bad at it you are.

"They fight for me.
Kill for me.
Die for me.
And yet... I can barely move.
Each step I take feels like a mistake.
One wrong square, and it’s over.
I hate the weight I carry.
But I can’t show weakness. I’m the king.
I watch them fall. One by one.
For me.
And when I’m finally cornered, staring into the eyes of mate,
I whisper — “Forgive me.” " - @bombing_knight
