The Lark And Her Young Ones With The Owner Of A Field

"Depend on yourself alone,"
Has to a common proverb grown.
It's thus confirmed in Aesop's way:
The larks to build their nests are seen
Among the wheat-crops young and green;
That is to say,
What time all things, dame Nature heeding,
Betake themselves to love and breeding –
The monstrous whales and sharks,
Beneath the briny flood,
The tigers in the wood,
And in the fields, the larks.
One she, however, of these last,
Found more than half the spring-time past
Without the taste of spring-time pleasures;
When firmly she set up her will
That she would be a mother still,
And resolutely took her measures; –
First, got herself by Hymen matched;
Then built her nest, laid, sat, and hatched.
All went as well as such things could.
The wheat-crop ripening before the brood
Were strong enough to take their flight,
Aware how perilous their plight,
The lark went out to search for food,
And told her young to listen well,
And keep a constant sentinel.
"The owner of this field," said she,
"Will come, I know, his grain to see.
Hear all he says; we little birds
Must shape our conduct by his words."
No sooner was the lark away,
Than came the owner with his son.
"This wheat is ripe," said he: "now run
And give our friends a call
To bring their sickles all,
And help us, great and small,
Tomorrow, at the break of day."
The lark, returning, found no harm,
Except her nest in wild alarm.
Says one, "We heard the owner say,
Go, give our friends a call
To help, tomorrow, break of day."
Replied the lark, "If that is all,
We need not be in any fear,
But only keep an open ear.
As gay as larks, now eat your victuals. – "
They ate and slept – the great and littles.
The dawn arrives, but not the friends;
The lark soars up, the owner wends
His usual round to view his land.
"This grain," says he, "ought not to stand.
Our friends do wrong; and so does he
Who trusts that friends will friendly be.
My son, go call our kith and kin
To help us get our harvest in."
This second order made
The little larks still more afraid.
"He sent for kindred, mother, by his son;
The work will now, indeed, be done."
"No, darlings; go to sleep;
Our lowly nest we'll keep."
With reason said; for kindred there came none.
Thus, tired of expectation vain,
Once more the owner viewed his grain.
"My son," said he, "we're surely fools
To wait for other people's tools;
As if one might, for love or pelf,
Have friends more faithful than himself!
Engrave this lesson deep, my son.
And know you now what must be done?
We must ourselves our sickles bring,
And, while the larks their matins sing,
Begin the work; and, on this plan,
Get in our harvest as we can."
This plan the lark no sooner knew,
Than, "Now's the time," she said, "my chicks;"
And, taking little time to fix,
Away they flew;
All fluttering, soaring, often grounding,
Decamped without a trumpet sounding.

Most Common Variations of the Queen's Pawn Opening: ECO Codes Here is an overview of each of these variations.

Note that there's significant depth to the strategies involved in each of these openings, and a full explanation would be quite lengthy.

For each variation, I'll briefly outline the initial move orders and the basic strategic goals.

D00 Queen's Pawn Game (including Blackmar–Diemer Gambit, Halosar Trap and others) 1.d4 d5

The Queen's Pawn Opening begins by controlling the center and allowing the bishop to develop.

In the Blackmar–Diemer Gambit (1.d4 d5 2.e4), White looks to sacrifice the f-pawn for rapid development and potential for a strong attack on f7.

The Halosar Trap arises from the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit and involves a sequence of moves aiming to trick Black into snatching a pawn and failing to get castled: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/GqA4...

D01 Richter–Veresov Attack
1.d4 d5 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.Bg5

The Richter-Veresov Attack aims to control the center and put pressure on the black pieces from the very beginning.

White often follows up with Qd2, O-O-O, and f3 to launch a pawn storm on the kingside. Black says: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJz...

D02 Queen's Pawn Game, 2.Nf3 (including the London System) 1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvA...

White aims to build a solid setup and control the center. The London System (which might continue as 2…Nf6 3.Bf4) is a system for white characterized by the early development of the dark-square bishop.

The London System is known for being solid and difficult to break down.

D03 Torre Attack, Tartakower Variation
1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Bg5 e6 4.e3 c5

This is a quiet yet flexible system for white that can easily transition into other openings.

In the Tartakower Variation, black immediately puts pressure on the center and prepares to challenge White's pawn on d4.

D04 Queen's Pawn Game, Colle System
1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.e3

White aims for a solid setup. In the Colle System, white will often follow with Bd3, O-O, Nbd2, and then prepare for a pawn break with e4.

D05 Queen's Pawn Game, Zukertort Variation (including Colle system) 1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.e3 e6 4.Bd3 c5 5.b3

The Zukertort Variation is a system for white aiming to control the center and allow for flexible piece development.

Similar to the Colle, White often aims to execute a pawn break with e4.

D06 Queen's Gambit: 1.d4 d5 2.c4

The Queen's Gambit is a classical opening aiming to control the center and put pressure on black's position. The Baltic Defense (2…Bf5), Marshall Defense (2…Nf6), and Symmetrical Defense (2…dxc4) all present different ways for Black to react.

D07 QGD; Chigorin Defense
1.d4 d5 2.c4 Nc6

The Chigorin Defense is an offbeat option for black that aims to challenge the conventional principles of center control in the opening. Black's goal is to pressure the d4 pawn and complicate the game from the very start.

D08 QGD; Albin Countergambit and Lasker Trap
1.d4 d5 2.c4 e5

The Albin Countergambit is an aggressive response from black, looking to undermine white's control of the center. The Lasker Trap (1.d4 d5 2.c4 e5 3.dxe5 d4 4.e3?? Bb4+ 5.Bd2 dxe3!) is a sequence of moves that can lead to disastrous consequences for White if s/he is not careful: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/I16t...

D09 QGD; Albin Countergambit, 5.g3
1.d4 d5 2.c4 e5 3.dxe5 d4 4.Nf3 Nc6 5.g3

This is a safer way for white to handle the Albin Countergambit, avoiding many of the early pitfalls that the gambit presents. White's aim is to complete development and slowly consolidate the extra pawn.

D10 QGD; Slav Defense
1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6

The Slav Defense is a solid and reliable option for black in the Queen's Gambit. Black aims to maintain the integrity of their pawn structure while also controlling the center. It's characterized by solidness and lack of weaknesses in Black's pawn structure.

<<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 - Wikipedia article: Edward Lasker

<<<Below is a <Paul Morphy> acrostic by C.V. Grinfield from page 334 of the Chess Player's Chronicle, 1861:>

Mightiest of masters of the chequer'd board,

Of early genius high its boasted lord!

Rising in youth's bright morn to loftiest fame,

Princeliest of players held with one acclaim;

Host in thyself – all-conquering in fight: –

Yankees exult! – in your great champion's might.>

The Dancing Bear
by James Russell Lowell

Far over Elf-land poets stretch their sway,
And win their dearest crowns beyond the goal
Of their own conscious purpose; they control
With gossamer threads wide-flown our fancy's play, And so our action. On my walk to-day,
A wallowing bear begged clumsily his toll,
When straight a vision rose of Atta Troll,
And scenes ideal witched mine eyes away.
'Merci, Mossieu!' the astonished bear-ward cried, Grateful for thrice his hope to me, the slave
Of partial memory, seeing at his side
A bear immortal. The glad dole I gave
Was none of mine; poor Heine o'er the wide
Atlantic welter stretched it from his grave.

TraeYoungsOldestSon

I was in jail in Dekalb County, Georgia. There's not much to do but play chess or cards in there so a lot of veteran criminals are pretty damn good from experience alone. I wasn't one of those but i had played a lot with my brother growing up so I eventually could hold my own and was top 7-12ish in our dorm of probably 20-25 chess players at any given time. But this story isn't about me. It's about Talley.

Talley was a middle-aged short dude who had never played chess in his life when he got to our dorm. But maaan did he try to learn. He insisted on constantly calling next, which some guys found annoying because he was terrible and nobody wants that easy of a win, it's not fun and can honestly throw your game off. But I didn't care. He wasn't an @#$%*@!, I could talk baseball with him, and he wanted to learn. But man did he learn slow. He had been in there for about three weeks and hadn't won a single game yet when he sat down to play a guy we called Big.

Now, Big was no chess savant himself. Definitely not the smartest cat. But he still gambled on it often, against actual good players. And lost. Kid lost so much food betting on chess we were starting to call him Medium instead. It was before lunch and the whole dorm was out, crowding around to watch these two scrubs go at it.

They both proceeded to unleash a series of moves so godawful it would probably make anyone on this subs head explode. But Big's mistakes were worse. And for a glimmering moment of glory, Tally was taking advantage. A murmur spread through the onlookers.....could Tally win his first game??

And then there it was. Everyone saw it. Tally had checkmate. All he had to do was slide his rook in front of Bigs king. I've been to many playoff games in multiple sports, but the anticipation in the room that day was like nothing I've ever felt. When Tally touched said rook and started sliding it towards the promise land, my goodness that place was ready to explode. He slid it in front of Bigs king, and paused, keeping his finger on the piece, making sure he had finally done it, finally won his first game...

And he kept sliding. To a spot that made absolutely no sense. And took his finger off. "NOOOOOOOOOOO" said roughly 25 (alleged) criminals in unison. "WHYYY?!?!" But we couldn't say why, didn't want to ruin the sanctity of the game. We were alleged criminals, nit monsters. Bigs move.

Big fails to protect his king like the dumb medium yuckface he is. He knows it as soon as he lets go and buries his face in his hands. The checkmate is still there. The tension is almost unbearable. Tally, hearing the reaction from his previous move, starts sliding his rook again, back in the other direction. He stops on checkmate again. AND KEEPS $%^&* SLIDING IT AGAIN!!!! This time giving it away to a pawn for no reason. Then immediately gives away his other rook next move. Big checkmates him within 3 minutes and for anyone who was there, for a brief couple of minutes, being in jail was suddenly the second most disappointing thing about our lives. - reddit

<<"To be, or not to be: that is the question:>

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;

For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,

The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely, The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.--Soft you now!
The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remember'd!">

― William Shakespeare, Hamlet

Confessed faults are half mended. ~ Scottish Proverb

"It's being here now that's important. There's no past and there's no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can't relive it; and we can hope for the future, but we don't know if there is one." ― George Harrison

"You are the biggest enemy of your own sleep." ― Pawan Mishra

"I do not know how old I was when I learned to play chess. I could not have been older than eight, because I still have a chessboard on whose side my father inscribed, with a soldering iron, "Saša Hemon 1972." I loved the board more than chess—it was one of the first things I owned. Its materiality was enchanting to me: the smell of burnt wood that lingered long after my father had branded it; the rattle of the thickly varnished pieces inside, the smacking sound they made when I put them down, the board's hollow wooden echo. I can even recall the taste—the queen's tip was pleasantly suckable; the pawns' round heads, not unlike nipples, were sweet. The board is still at our place in Sarajevo, and, even if I haven't played a game on it in decades, it is still my most cherished possession, providing incontrovertible evidence that there once lived a boy who used to be me." ― Aleksandar Hemon, The Book of My Lives

<<Poems of ChatGPT's. How about these chess tactics haiku?>

Sneaky knight's attack
Double threat, fork in the road
Checkmate is in sight

A skewer in chess,
Piercing through two pieces deep,
A victory's sweep.

Pieces multi-task
Overloaded, can't keep up
Checkmate, game over

Queen takes knight in sight,
Unexpected move in flight,
Zwischenzug takes might.>

The first chess legend, called the wheat and chessboard problem, illustrates the power of exponential growth.

The first chess movie, called Chess Fever, was a silent comedy released in 1925 in the Soviet Union.

The word checkmate comes from the Persian phrase shah mat, meaning "the king is helpless".

from the simpleton poet:

Roses are red.
Violets are blue.

Chess is creative.
And a journey too.

Good in the morning.
Or just before bed.

Play cheater_1, with engine.
Or OTB, all in your head.
