"May the sun bring you energy by day,

May the moon softly restore you by night,

May the rain wash away your worries,

May the breeze blow new strength into your being.

May you walk gently through the world

and know its beauty all the days of your life."

Apache Blessing

"I should never have surrendered. I should have fought until I was the last man alive." — Goyahkla a.k.a. Geronimo (1829-1909), a POW for 23 years

"In chess, as in life, a man is his own most dangerous opponent." — Vasily Smyslov

"Customer experience better be at the top of your list when it comes to priorities in your organization. Customer experience is the new marketing." ― Steve Cannon

"Make your marketing so useful, people would pay for it." ― Jay Baer

'As you sow so shall you reap

"Quality in a service or product is not what you put into it. It is what the customer gets out of it." ― Peter Drucker

"Building a good customer experience does not happen by accident. It happens by design." ― Clare Muscutt

"Exceptional customer experiences are the only sustainable platform for competitive differentiation." ― Kerry Bodine

"The interests of the state must come first." ― King Louis XVI of France

"There is nothing more corrupting, nothing more destructive of the noblest and finest feelings of our nature, than the exercise of unlimited power." ― William Henry Harrison

"We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution." ― Abraham Lincoln

"The constitution regulates our stewardship; the constitution devotes the domain to union, to justice, to defense, to welfare, and to liberty. But there is a higher law than the constitution, which regulates our authority over the domain, and devotes it to the same noble purposes. The territory is a part, no inconsiderable part, of the common heritage of mankind, bestowed upon them by the Creator of the universe. We are his stewards, and must so discharge our trust as to secure in the highest attainable degree their happiness." ― William H. Seward

"I cannot find any authority in the Constitution for public charity." ― Franklin Pierce

"I do not wish to shed a drop of blood, but 'I must fight the course.' Tis all that's left to me." ― John Wilkes Booth

"Life makes concessions for no one; it's up to each of us to learn from our experiences; laugh; cry; scream; shout; do whatever it takes to let it out; the important thing is to get it out...move on...and live life...life waits for no one either." ― Mary Surratt

"Amberley excelled at chess—one mark, Watson, of a scheming mind." ― Arthur Conan Doyle

"Chess is 99 percent tactics." ― Richard Teichmann

"Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat." ― Sun Tzu

"Chess is the art of analysis." ― Max Euwe

"Confuse the enemy. Keep him in the dark on your intentions. Sometimes what seems a victory isn't really a victory and sometimes a defeat isn't really a defeat. Whether in attacking, counterattacking, or defensive tactics, the idea of attacking should remain central, to always keep the initiative." ― Vo Nguyen Giap

'An army marches on its stomach

"Chess is a game of delicate judgment, intelligence, and patience." ― Pal Benko

"A knowledge of tactics is the foundation of positional play. This is a rule which has stood its test in chess history and one which we cannot impress forcibly enough upon the young chess player. A beginner should avoid Queen's Gambit and French Defence and play open games instead! While he may not win as many games at first, he will in the long run be amply compensated by acquiring a thorough knowledge of the game." ― Richard Reti

"Amateurs study tactics; professionals study logistics." ― Omar N. Bradley

"Stay flexible. Be ready to transform advantages from one type to another." ― GM John Nunn

"Firmness in support of fundamentals, with flexibility in tactics and methods, is the key to any hope of progress in negotiation." ― Dwight D. Eisenhower

"Against Alekhine you never knew what to expect. Against Capablanca, you knew what to expect, but you couldn't prevent it!" ― George Thomas

"I have known many chess players, but among them there has been only one genius - Capablanca! His ideal was to win by maneuvering. Capablanca's genius reveals itself in his probing of the opponent's weak points. The slightest weakness cannot escape from his keene eye." ― Emanuel Lasker

"If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck." ― John Steinbeck

"I've played a number of interesting novelties lately. Mostly that's because I haven't got a clue what I am doing in the opening." ― Nigel Short

"When you see a good move – WAIT! – look for a better one." ― Emanuel Lasker The Portuguese chess player and author Pedro Damiano (1480–1544) first wrote this in his book "Questo libro e da imparare giocare a scachi et de li partiti" published in Rome, Italy, in 1512.

"Without technique it is impossible to reach the top in chess, and therefore we all try to borrow from Capablanca his wonderful, subtle technique." — Mikhail Tal

"I was brought up on the games of Capablanca and Nimzowitsch, and they became part of my chess flesh and blood." — Tigran Petrosian

"Capablanca was among the greatest of chess players, but not because of his endgame. His trick was to keep his openings simple, and then play with such brilliance in the middlegame that the game was decided - even though his opponent didn't always know it - before they arrived at the ending." — Robert Fischer

"If the student forces himself to examine all moves that smite, however absurd they may look at first glance, he is on the way to becoming a master of tactics." — C.J.S. Purdy

"The tactician knows what to do when there is something to do; whereas the strategian knows what to do when there is nothing to do." — Gerald Abrahams

"I offer neither pay, nor quarters, nor food; I offer only hunger, thirst, forced marches, battles and death. Let him who loves his country with his heart, and not merely with his lips, follow me." ― Giuseppe Garibaldi

"In chess, as in life, you have to fight for what you want." ― Garry Kasparov

"All around me is cowardice and deceit." ― Nicholas II of Russia

'Attack is the best form of defence

"Examine moves that smite! A good eye for smites is far more important than a knowledge of strategical principles." — C.J.S. Purdy

Admiral Farragut upon entering Mobile Bay "Damn the torpedoes. FULL SPEED AHEAD!" ― David Farragut

"It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently." ― Warren Buffett

"A thorough understanding of the typical mating combinations makes the most complicated sacrificial combinations leading up to them not only not difficult, but almost a matter of course." ― Dr. Siegbert Tarrasch

"If you don't care, your customer never will." ― Marlene Blaszczyk

"Always remember that everyone with whom you have a relationship has an invisible sign on their forehead that says ‘Make Me Feel Important.' Treat them accordingly" ― Eric Philip Cowell

"Loyal customers, they don't just come back, they don't simply recommend you, they insist that their friends do business with you." ― Chip Bell

"If you are not taking care of your customers, your competitor will." ― Bob Hooey

'Ask a silly question and you'll get a silly answer

"Chess is all about stored pattern recognition. You are asking your brain to spot a face in the crowd that it has not seen." ― Sally Simpson

Fred Wilson explains in "303 Tricky Chess Tactics": "A combination is a tactical maneuver in which you sacrifice material to obtain an advantage, or at least to improve your position. So, strategy then, is your general plan, while tactics are your specific means of carrying it out."

"For me the starting point for everything - before strategy, tactics, theories, managing, organizing, philosophy, methodology, talent, or experience - is work ethic. Without one of significant magnitude, you're dead in the water." ― Bill Walsh

"Persistence isn't using the same tactics over and over. Persistence is having the same goal over and over." ― Seth Godin

"If you don't play to win don't play at all." ― Tom Brady

"Every time you win, you're reborn; when you lose, you die a little." — George Allen

"Winning is the science of being totally prepared." — George Allen

"What you do in the off season determines what you do in the regular season." — George Allen

"People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit." — George Allen

"Try not to do too many things at once. Know what you want, the number one thing today and tomorrow. Persevere and get it done." — George Allen

"Forget the past – the future will give you plenty to worry about." — George Allen

"We learn by chess the habit of not being discouraged by present bad appearances in the state of our affairs, the habit of hoping for a favorable change, and that of persevering in the search for resources." ― Benjamin Franklin

'April showers bring forth May flowers

"When a player keeps a calm demeanor on the court, it's easier for his ability to shine. The best response to an opposing player's physical or psychological tactics is to keep cool and come right back at him with the force of your game, not your fists. Revenge is always sweeter if your team wins the game." ― Walt Frazier

"I've never met a checkers player I didn't like; they're all even-tempered. Chess players are egotistical. They think they're intellectuals and that everyone else is beneath them." ― Don Lafferty, draughts grandmaster

A horse walks into a bar. The bartender says, "Why the long face?"

The Two Mules

Two mules were bearing on their backs,
One, oats; the other, silver of the tax.
The latter glorying in his load,
Marched proudly forward on the road;
And, from the jingle of his bell,
It was plain he liked his burden well.
But in a wild-wood glen
A band of robber men
Rushed forth on the twain.
Well with the silver pleased,
They by the bridle seized
The treasure-mule so vain.
Poor mule! in struggling to repel
His ruthless foes, he fell
Stabbed through; and with a bitter sighing,
He cried, "Is this the lot they promised me?
My humble friend from danger free,
While, weltering in my gore, I'm dying?"
"My friend," his fellow-mule replied,
"It is not well to have one's work too high.
If you had been a miller's drudge, as I,
You would not thus have died."

There once was a website named WTHarvey,
Where chess puzzles did daily delay,
The brain-teasers so tough,
They made us all huff and puff,
But solving them brought us great satisfaction today.

There once was a website named WTHarvey
Where chess puzzles were quite aplenty
With knight and rook and pawn
You'll sharpen your brain with a yawn
And become a master of chess entry

There once was a site for chess fun,
Wtharvey.com was the chosen one,
With puzzles galore,
It'll keep you in store,
For hours of brain-teasing, none done.

There once was a website named WTHarvey,
Where chess puzzles were posted daily,
You'd solve them with glee,
And in victory,
You'd feel like a true chess prodigy!

New York: Albany
Established in: 1624

Henry Hudson (the Hudson River is named after him) arrived in Albany in 1609, but it was already home to a Dutch trading post and the Haudenosaunee tribe, Iroquois Native Americans.

The capital of New York is also its oldest city. Originally founded as Fort Orange by the Dutch settlers in 1624, the city was officially chartered by the British government as Albany in 1686. It didn't become the capital of the state until 1797. Albany was the point of origin for the first long distance airplane flight and the first passenger railroad.

The Kings of Chess: A History of Chess, Traced Through the Lives of Its Greatest Players by William Hartston William Hartson traces the development of the game from its Oriental origins to the present day through the lives of its greatest exponents - men like Howard Staunton, who transformed what had been a genteel pastime into a competitive science; the brilliant American Paul Morphy, who once played a dozen simultaneous games blindfold; the arrogant and certified insane Wilhelm Steinitz; the philosopher and mathematician Emanual Lasker; Bobby Fischer, perhaps the most brilliant and eccentric of them all; and many other highly gifted individuals. Hartson depicts all their colorful variety with a wealth of rare illustrations.

pages 24-25 of The Year Book of the United States Chess Federation 1944 (Chicago, 1945), which published ‘Brave Heart', Anthony Santasiere's tribute to Frank J. Marshall. Written in August 1942 for Marshall's 65th birthday, it began:

Brave Heart –
We salute you!
Knowing neither gain nor loss,
Nor fear, nor hate –;
But only this –
To fight – to fight –
And to love.

Santasiere then gushes on in a similar vein for another 40 lines or so, and we pick up the encomium for its final verse:

For this – dear Frank –
We thank you.
For this – dear Frank –
We love you!
Brave heart –
Brave heart –
We love you!

Facts of Kings and Court in the Middle Ages

+ Taxes were often levied only when the king ran out of money or needed to raise an army for war.

+ Many kings during the first part of the Middle Ages couldn't read or write.

+ The kings had a special seal they would use to stamp official documents.

+ The seal proved that the document was genuine and acted like the king's signature.

+ During the Middle Ages kings were expected to lead their men into battle.

+ In order to maintain control, kings often claimed they were given the right to rule by God. This made the approval of the church and the pope very important.

Biographer Bistro
Tabanus: chessgames.com chessforum (kibitz #21841) <20/20 Technologies is one of the first web development companies, founded in 1995 by Daniel Freeman and Lee Cummings. In 2001 we were commissioned by Albert Artidiello to create a chess site. Albert had limited-funding but big dreams, so in the early years (2002, 2003) 20/20 agreed to do extensive work on Chessgames in exchange for a stake in the website's business (which at the time was zero, as there wasn't even such a thing as a premium membership, and the advertising didn't even cover the hosting fees.)

For a while it seemed like a really fun side-project but not a business per se. But then, around 2004-2005, the site launched its premium membership and turned profitable. At that stage, Chessgames was capable of actually paying for its development work, hiring GM commentators, etc. Chessgames could have gone to any web development company in the world at that point, but obviously it was in everybody's best interest to keep working with 20/20 Technologies.

In gratitude for all they've done, Chessgames continues to put a link to 20/20 Technologies at the bottom of every page.>

<<<poem by <B.H. Wood> which appeared in the following issues of the Chess Amateur: January 1930 (page 80). >

The Chess Cafe II>

When I was young, when I was young,
In chess my soul was buried quite;
Imaginary problems hung
Suspended o'er my bed at night:
In games of chess I gained sublime
Incognisance of space and time.
Now I am old, now I am old,
My furnaces of joy are cold –
My mental galleons, no more
Divine, now cruise a homelier shore.>

"We repeat again: strength of character does not consist solely in having powerful feelings, but in maintaining one's balance in spite of them.

Country mile Bears frosh BB practice on the GO! Do what needs doin' w/a sense of urgency. Be captain obvious; it aint rocket science. Tell, then DO and be quick about it. COTF. DWW. Keep the line moving; a little dab will do ya. Look like a winner, act like a winner, think and talk like a winner. Don't overthink it, don't over explain it. Stop and start on time, drill 'em hard, and send home tired but hopeful; always finish on a joyous moment or positive note. Organizations, preparation and repetition determines who will far more often than lady luck. K.I.S.S. Do a few things well. Don't beat yourself with mistakes repeated mistakes. Play hard, fast aggressively, play by the rules, play together, all for one and one for all; avoid analysis by paralysis. A leader has a vision, a plan, energy and enthusiasm, and listens but doesn't pull back the reigns when the going gets tough. Be the true believer, commissioned with a mission when others doubt.

Dialing *67 conceals your number from someone you call. There are similar numbers you can dial to respond to mystery callers.

The first is *69, which traces the number of the last person who called you. It works even for anonymous or hidden calls, so you can get the phone number and exact time they called. Once you have that number, you can block it on your phone so it can't call you anymore.

‘The Way through the Woods'
by Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936)

They shut the road through the woods
Seventy years ago.
Weather and rain have undone it again,
And now you would never know
There was once a road through the woods
Before they planted the trees.
It is underneath the coppice and heath,
And the thin anemones.
Only the keeper sees
That, where the ring-dove broods,
And the badgers roll at ease,
There was once a road through the woods.

Yet, if you enter the woods
Of a summer evening late,
When the night-air cools on the trout-ringed pools Where the otter whistles his mate,
(They fear not men in the woods,
Because they see so few.)
You will hear the beat of a horse's feet,
And the swish of a skirt in the dew,
Steadily cantering through
The misty solitudes,
As though they perfectly knew
The old lost road through the woods.
But there is no road through the woods.

Somewhat ambiguous.

<<Types Of Chess Time Control>

Classical Chess

Uses longer overall time (90 minutes or more)
Often, players are given 120 minutes for the first 40 moves, 60 minutes for the next 20, and 15 minutes for the rest of the game. There are 30 seconds increments per move starting on move 61.

Fast Chess

Uses less overall time

There are different kinds of chess play that use this fast chess or speed chess approach, such as:

Rapid chess – more than 10 minutes, but less than 60 minutes per player.

Blitz chess – 10 minutes or less per player.

Bullet chess – 1 to 3 minutes per player.

Lightning chess– a chess game with a fixed time for each move. This term can also be used for 1-minute games.

Chess Clock Rules

The pressing of the chess clock timer is part of the move. You can only start your move after your opponent stops their clock.

The Black chess army player gets preference on which side of the chess board to place the chess clock. But if the player with black pieces can't decide, the arbiter can also decide.

You must hit or press the clock's button with the same hand you used in your move.

Hovering your hand over the chess clock timer is not allowed; you could get forfeited or penalized for this.

You cannot pick up the chess clock during the game.

You must not adjust any chess piece if your chess clock timer is not running.

You can stop the clock if you notice an illegal move.

You must stop the time even after you win by checkmate, or else your opponent can claim that you ran out of time.

Chess clocks must be silent. They shouldn't produce any beeping or ticking noises that can distract players.

If both players bring their own chess clocks and one is digital, that one is automatically preferred, but you can always discuss which to use.

What Happens <When The Timer Runs Out> In Chess?

The player whose clock time runs out can't win, regardless of how much material they are ahead.

Here are the possible scenarios:

If your chess clock timer runs out and your opponent still has enough time and material to put you in a checkmate, your opponent will win.

If your opponent's time runs out, you can claim the win by claiming a "flag."

The game can end in a draw if one player's time runs out and the other doesn't have enough chess pieces to initiate a checkmate.

If both of the chess player's times end or both of their flags fall and none of them could make a call for flag fall, the game ends in a draw.>

"Friend, you don't have to earn God's love or try harder. You're precious in His sight, covered by the priceless blood of Jesus, and indwelt by His Holy Spirit.

'Ashes to ashes dust to dust

The Horse and the Wolf

A wolf, what time the thawing breeze
Renews the life of plants and trees,
And beasts go forth from winter lair
To seek abroad their various fare, –
A wolf, I say, about those days,
In sharp look-out for means and ways,
Espied a horse turned out to graze.
His joy the reader may opine.
"Once got," said he, "this game were fine;
But if a sheep, it were sooner mine.
I can't proceed my usual way;
Some trick must now be put in play."
This said,
He came with measured tread,
As if a healer of disease, –
Some pupil of Hippocrates, –
And told the horse, with learned verbs,
He knew the power of roots and herbs, –
Whatever grew about those borders, –
And not at all to flatter
Himself in such a matter,
Could cure of all disorders.
If he, Sir Horse, would not conceal
The symptoms of his case,
He, Doctor Wolf, would gratis heal;
For that to feed in such a place,
And run about untied,
Was proof itself of some disease,
As all the books decide.
"I have, good doctor, if you please,"
Replied the horse, "as I presume,
Beneath my foot, an aposthume."
"My son," replied the learned leech,
"That part, as all our authors teach,
Is strikingly susceptible
Of ills which make acceptable
What you may also have from me –
The aid of skilful surgery;
Which noble art, the fact is,
For horses of the blood I practise."
The fellow, with this talk sublime,
Watched for a snap the fitting time.
Meanwhile, suspicious of some trick,
The wary patient nearer draws,
And gives his doctor such a kick,
As makes a chowder of his jaws.
Exclaimed the wolf, in sorry plight,
"I own those heels have served me right.
I erred to quit my trade,
As I will not in future;
Me nature surely made
For nothing but a butcher."

<<Lasker's Secret Principle:>

"He (Emanuel Lasker) told me that this principle of controlling as many squares as possible was his guide at every stage of the game.

He said "In the majority of cases it is probably best to have Knight and Bishop on squares of the same color, because then they control squares of opposite colors."> ― Edward Lasker, Chess Secrets I Learned from the Masters

A master craftsman
So gifted at his game
A physical transformer
Rarely looking the same
At the peak of his powers
Much warranted acclaim
Awards and the big money
He paid the price for his fame
From rebels to the sensitive
No limits to his range
He gives each role his all
Winning us over again and again
For over five decades now
Privileged to witness the best
The thespian king of kings
Mr Sean Penn - I am impressed

In 1090, a Chessboard with alternating light and dark squares was introduced in Europe.

The Old Woman And Her Two Servants

A beldam kept two spinning maids,
Who plied so handily their trades,
Those spinning sisters down below
Were bunglers when compared with these.
No care did this old woman know
But giving tasks as she might please.
No sooner did the god of day
His glorious locks enkindle,
Than both the wheels began to play,
And from each whirling spindle
Forth danced the thread right merrily,
And back was coiled unceasingly.
Soon as the dawn, I say, its tresses showed,
A graceless cock most punctual crowed.
The beldam roused, more graceless yet,
In greasy petticoat bedight,
Struck up her farthing light,
And then forthwith the bed beset,
Where deeply, blessedly did snore
Those two maid-servants tired and poor.
One oped an eye, an arm one stretched,
And both their breath most sadly fetched,
This threat concealing in the sigh –
"That cursed cock shall surely die!"
And so he did: they cut his throat,
And put to sleep his rousing note.
And yet this murder mended not
The cruel hardship of their lot;
For now the twain were scarce in bed
Before they heard the summons dread.
The beldam, full of apprehension
Lest oversleep should cause detention,
Ran like a goblin through her mansion.
Thus often, when one thinks
To clear himself from ill,
His effort only sinks
Him in the deeper still.
The beldam, acting for the cock,
Was Scylla for Charybdis" rock.

On the mountain high, a monarch reigns,

A bear of strength, in its domains.

Noble in stride, in the wild it claims,

In the peaks, its spirit flames.

Surveying lands, with a watchful eye,

In its kingdom, under the sky.

Mountain monarch, in freedom's song,

In its rule, it belongs.

Majesty in fur, a ruler so grand,

In the mountains, its command.

Mountain monarch, with power's arc,

In its realm, the bear's mark.>
