"¡Creo que mi inglés es mejor que tu ruso!".

At the 1995 US Senior Open, GM Arnold Denker was pressing GM Eduard Gufeld in a marathongame. Gufeld, irked by Denker's refusal of his draw offer, told him, "You're a Grandmaster, you know it's a draw." Denker, unruffled, replied, "You're a Grandmaster, draw it!"
