They are linked to the nature of games/its variants. I can suggest some of them later.

CHESS:

When you learn chess, you open the galaxy. When you read about the chess variants, you discover the universe!

Chess is like an organism — too active organs can fail, very passive ones can atrophy.

Chess game becomes a quiet nice place after move when Queens are traded.

Chess is probably created to save people’s lives.

GENERAL:

It’s better to be not the first, but one of the first.

Board games are merciful. Don’t you cut the captured knight or taken stone? No, they simply wait for next game.

Life of piece isn’t limited by current game; soul also lives beyond its earthly lifetime.

Thx very much;) I hope you’ll thank me later. But what I mean under unique quotes is category for quotes not to game family, but to them all.

@statmatt
I found some oware quotes :
mancala.fandom.com/wiki/Proverbs
It could be useful to add them into PlayStrategy :)

Also, it wasn't difficult to find a lot of Go quotes, here is an example :
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_proverb
I'm sure you can find a lot of other quotes for go! :)

Thanks for the quote suggestions.

Currently quotes are separated into 'General' and by each Game Family (we currently only have Chess, Draughts and Shogi specific quotes).

@Rechefiltr_is_Fire where do your quotes come from? Are they attributed to any person?

@tititogepi thanks for finding those, they look like we can use them and mark them as 'Proverbs'

@statmatt they’re my own

Veni, vidi, numeravi, vici. (Togyzqumalaq and Oware) ~Jisu101

This because counting is a very important aspect in those games.

Wow,

The idea of having quotes created by users accepted by the admins sound like a wonderful thing to apply here!

@oruro @statmatt Similar to ZugAddict quotes on Lichess (which have inspired me not to seat and wait but do something – some my quotes are more than year old and still I didn’t find the time to give it to Lichess mods (only in THIS OCTOBER!). Note that year is significant for player with 23rd December of 2020 reg date (though it was my first now deleted acc))

UPD: another my quote for CHESS:

Chess can be an allegory of mental and moral fight where chessmen are your different traits. Even if life is traded or sacrificed, save your soul anyway.
