-

-
Sometimes the best move is to wait.
-
Mistakes are not shameful - they're illuminating.
-
You play against yourself, not just your opponent.

Everything considered the AI search came up with a disappointing melange of generic rules that do Tom a great injustice.
J.T. adds:
I plugged it in to check and got a couple of Wiswell proverbs as well. Here are three:
• The winner of a match is not always determined by who is right, but in the end, who is left.
• We can play today’s draws and anticipate tomorrow’s wins, but we shouldn’t forget yesterday’s losses.
• The losing player who says: 'I’ll look it up tomorrow,' very seldom does look it up.

i have the complete set. Tom would create 20 proverbs a week and then give the boys at ncz a lesson in checkers for 12 years from 1988 to 2000. he would say with a whistwell air, "I wish I had married a girl life Susan. but then I wouldn't have written 22 books."
