Alexandre Alekhine: « Quand on m'a demandé 'Comment se fait-il que vous choisissiez de meilleurs coups que vos adversaires ?', j'ai répondu 'Je suis ravi que vous me posiez cette question, car il se trouve que la réponse est très simple. Je trouve mes propres coups et je fais trouver les siens par mon adversaire. »

An eye-pleasing problem from W. Steinitz – S. Winawer, Paris (1867). If you want to try it yourself, take the game below, and stop after the 16th move from Black. White to move!
