master/piece
She moves him ‘round the chess board,
dodging bishops, pawns and rooks.
She coaxes him from square to square
without a second look.

The white knight cannot catch him.
Piece by piece, the foe now yields.
Her king is safe; the game is done.
The queen controls the field.

The first person convicted of speeding was going eight mph. According to Guinness World Records, the first person to be charged with speeding was Walter Arnold of the English village of Paddock Wood, Kent. On Jan. 28, 1896, Arnold was spotted going four times the speed limit in his 19th-century Benz—but since the speed limit at the time was just two miles per hour, that meant he was not going too fast by today's standards. The constable had to chase him down on his bicycle, issuing a ticket for £4 7s and earning Arnold the speedy distinction.

<Steinitz's Theory
1. At the beginning of the game, Black and White are equal.

2. The game will stay equal with correct play on both sides.

3. You can only win by your opponent's mistake.

4. Any attack launched in an equal position will not succeed, and the attacker will suffer.

5. You should not attack until an advantage is obtained.

6. When equal, do not seek to attack, but instead, try to secure an advantage.

7. Once you have an advantage, attack or you will lose it.>

This poem is dedicated to all Caissa's members who understand that chess is but a game.

Chess is but a Game

As he secretly rode his knight out of the castle's gate, still believing that he could escape this inevitable fate, the sky broke open with an array of incredible light. and there smitten to the earth lay nova under his knight. I am who I am and always am, spoke this thundering voice and you, my friend nova, do not at all have another choice but to go forth south and north, west and east
loudly proclaiming the good Word to man and beast. Thus beset by the compelling voice from the broken sky nova set about explaining through the word the how and why. He travelled north and south, west and east never losing aim to let all Caissa's members know: chess is but a game.

The Lion and the Ass Hunting

The king of animals, with royal grace,
Would celebrate his birthday in the chase.
It was not with bow and arrows,
To slay some wretched sparrows;
The lion hunts the wild boar of the wood,
The antlered deer and stags, the fat and good.
This time, the king, t" insure success,
Took for his aide-de-camp an ass,
A creature of stentorian voice,
That felt much honoured by the choice.
The lion hid him in a proper station,
And ordered him to bray, for his vocation,
Assured that his tempestuous cry
The boldest beasts would terrify,
And cause them from their lairs to fly.
And, sooth, the horrid noise the creature made
Did strike the tenants of the wood with dread;
And, as they headlong fled,
All fell within the lion's ambuscade.
"Has not my service glorious
Made both of us victorious?"
Cried out the much-elated ass.
"Yes," said the lion; "bravely brayed!
Had I not known yourself and race,
I should have been myself afraid!"
If he had dared, the donkey
Had shown himself right spunky
At this retort, though justly made;
For who could suffer boasts to pass
So ill-befitting to an ass?

My Wage
by Jessie Belle Rittenhouse

I bargained with Life for a penny,
And Life would pay no more,
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store;

For Life is a just employer,
He gives you what you ask,
But once you have set the wages,
Why, you must bear the task.

I worked for a menial's hire,
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have paid.

The American Civil War (1861-1865), a.k.a. the war between the states, was a pivotal conflict in U.S. history, marked by significant events, high casualties, and lasting impacts on the nation.

Key Facts about the Civil War
Timeline: The Civil War lasted from April 12, 1861, when Confederate forces fired on Fort Sumter, to April 9, 1865, when General Robert E. Lee surrendered at Appomattox Court House.

Causes: The primary cause of the Civil War was the disagreement over slavery, particularly its expansion into new territories. The election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860 prompted seven southern states to secede and form the Confederate States of America.

Casualties: The Civil War was the deadliest conflict in American history, resulting in approximately 620,000 to 750,000 soldier deaths, with many more injured. Disease was a leading cause of death, accounting for more fatalities than combat.

Major Players: The Union (Northern states) was led by President Abraham Lincoln, while the Confederacy (Southern states) was led by President Jefferson Davis. The Union had a population of about 22 million, compared to the Confederacy's 9 million (including 3.5 million enslaved people).

Notable Battles: Key battles included the Battle of Gettysburg, the Battle of Antietam, and the Battle of Bull Run. The war featured significant military leaders, including Union General Ulysses S. Grant and Confederate General Robert E. Lee.

End of Slavery: The war ultimately led to the abolition of slavery in the United States, formalized by the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, ratified in December 1865.

Economic Impact: The war had profound economic effects, particularly in the South, which was left in ruins. The Union's industrial capacity far surpassed that of the Confederacy, contributing to its victory.

My little game of Chess
That I played, with you
Making subtle moves
Hinting all too softly
Allowing impasses
Offering a pawn
Renouncing knights
Denouncing a bishop
Even giving up my Queen
That trying game of Chess
It appears, has come to a stale
Without one word spoken, without
An idea or intellect having being shared
My dear, I have not tried hard enough, and
I shall never be the wiser for not having made a move

"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. Don't hide your heart or fear you're not good enough for Him to care for you. Accept His love, obey Him, and allow Him to keep you in His wonderful freedom." — Charles F. Stanley

<There are distinct situations where a bishop is preferred (over a knight). For example, <two bishops are better than two knights> or one of each. Steven Mayer, the author of Bishop Versus Knight, contends, "A pair of bishops is usually considered to be worth six points, but common sense suggests that a pair of active bishops (that are very involved in the formation) must be accorded a value of almost nine under some circumstances." This is especially true if the player can plant the bishops in the center of the board, as two bishops working in tandem can span up to 26 squares and have the capacity to touch every square.

Bishops are also preferable to knights when queens have been exchanged because, Grandmaster Sergey Erenburg, who is ranked 11th in the U.S., explains, "Bishops and rooks complement each other, and when well-coordinated, act as a queen." Conversely, a knight is the preferred minor piece when the queen survives until the late-middlegame or the endgame. Mayer explains, "The queen and knight are able to work together smoothly and create a greater number of threats than the queen and bishop."

When forced to say one is better than the other, most anoint the bishop. Mayer concludes, "I think it's true that the bishops are better than the knights in a wider variety of positions than the knights are better than the bishops."

He continues, "Of course, I'm not sure this does us much good, as we only get to play one position at a time.">

<<Anne Boleyn> Thought She Caught the Prize in King Henry the 8th by PinkFaerie5

Anne Boleyn, you set your sights high, you deviously bold sly fox Your interest was the end of Catherine's head and locks Mary was declared a bastard, Henry the Eighth's wife slain. You were singing prettily through this torment, a refrain.

Anne Boleyn, you enticed a dangerous king, indeed. Henry the Eighth, who smashed wives like a mustard seed. You thought you would give him sons but alas, it did not happen. So now here you are in the tower, being visited by a chaplain.

Anne Boleyn, your three years as a queen was not a record. Although Henry's next wife Jane will not last assured Sir Rutherford. All of Catherine's sons died in infancy, and you were beheaded too. Your French fashions and pretty singing voice could not save the likes of you.>

Keres vs Petrov, 1940

The video link still works. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ts...

Self-Talk:

"Was that move legal?"

"Where/what is my opponent aiming at now?
How many times?"

"Am I in check now? How can I be put in check on the next turn? How would I respond to check?" Checklist CBA:
CAPTURE the checker,
interpose BETWEEN (self-pin), or
fly AWAY to a safe square?

"What can my opponent capture?" etc. etc.

GM Lilov mentions counting the material as part of the evaluation process. Do be sure to count the number of attackers against the number of defenders where checks, captures, and pawn advances/promotions are threatened. Can more attackers be added? Can defenders be removed, obstructed, pinned, etc.? This forcing assessment is vital before every move.

The value of the pieces involved, and the move order in which the pieces capture and re-capture also matters. In <tpstar's diagram above>, White has three attackers aiming at the g6-pawn, that is protected by only two defenders. However, the attackers are more valuable pieces, and the defenders are lowly pawns, so capturing on g6 with a White piece will lose material value even though White has Black outnumbered there.

GM Lilov does mention the unprotected a2-pawn as a weakness. Thus, it had one attacker (the Black queen) and no defender. Then he shows that White has an adequate response to the ... Qxa2 capture by counterattacking. One must not be baited into capturing for free or material gain without knowing what will happen AFTER the capture is made.

Endgames focus on creating and promoting a passed pawn, then checkmating with the new piece, usually a queen. Endgames have reoccurring patterns too, so study your endings! Your endgame knowledge will assist your ability to assess trades in the opening and middlegame, what appears to be an even exchange. One color or the other often benefits slightly more when an even exchange is made.

If your opponent knows that one doesn't know endings, s/he'll swap off the pieces (avoiding tactical play) and head for positions with greatly reduced material.

For example, many young players panic without their beloved queen on board, so the experienced player will trade off the queens and some other like pieces and drag the young player into an undesired endgame. The point is, knowledge of middlegame tactics can be dissolved into an uncomfortable endgame through exchanges, so the study of endgames is also vital.

Endgame knowledge will be rewarded time and time again over the course of one's chess career, particularly in hard fought games where it's been difficult to find an advantage.

If you miss these tactical opportunities, there's no point studying anything more advanced. Way too many chess players study long lines of grandmaster variations and miss the basics. It's far better for the average Joe Sixpack to never-miss-an-opportunity-to-punish-simple-mista- kes by rehearsing common patterns and blunders quickly and repeatedly.

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit." ― attributed to Aristotle

Lord Dunsany wrote what is perhaps the finest chess poem ever written. It marked the death of R.H.S. Stevenson and was published on page 74 of the April 1943 BCM:

One art they say is of no use;
The mellow evenings spent at chess,
The thrill, the triumph, and the truce
To every care, are valueless.

And yet, if all whose hopes were set
On harming man played chess instead,
We should have cities standing yet
Which now are dust upon the dead.

"Sometimes in life, and in chess, you must take one step back to take two steps forward." — IM Levy Rozman, GothamChess

So much, much, much better to be an incurable optimist than deceitful and untrustworthy.

In 2016, a Michigan-based priest named Gerald Johnson suffered a heart attack. He says he had a near-death experience that sent him somewhere he never thought he'd visit: Hell.

Johnson says that immediately after his heart attack in February 2016, his spirit left his physical body and went down to hell, entering through "the very center of the Earth." Though he says "the things I saw there are indescribable," he did his best.

Johnson claims he saw a man walking on all fours like a dog and getting burned from head to toe:

"His eyes were bulging and worse than that: He was wearing chains on his neck. He was like a hellhound. There was a demon holding the chains."

Psalm 8
King James Version

8 O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

9 O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

<Hush-a-bye, Baby

Hush-a-bye, Baby, upon the tree top,
When the wind blows the cradle will rock;
When the bough breaks the cradle will fall,
Down tumbles cradle and Baby and all.>

P.S. The FIDE rating of the player must be over 2200 for us to upload games .

Feb-23-23 FSR: <petemcd85> I know how to upload games to the site. Hundreds of games on this site were submitted by me. However, for the past week or so, some of the games that I have submitted have not been added to the database for some reason. Is this because the games were played by me or another player whose FIDE rating is below 2200? If so, that is a departure from prior practice of many years standing. Who authorized this?

<<<A Burnt Ship> By John Donne (1572-1631)>

Out of a fired ship, which by no way
But drowning could be rescued from the flame,
Some men leap'd forth, and ever as they came
Near the foes' ships, did by their shot decay;
So all were lost, which in the ship were found,
They in the sea being burnt, they in the burnt ship drown'd.>

According to Chessmetrics, Emanuel Lasker was #1 for longer than anyone else in history: 292 different months between June 1890 and December 1926. That's a timespan of 36 1/2 years, in which Lasker was #1 for a total of 24 years and 4 months. Lasker was 55 years old when he won New York 1924.

* Know the five fundamental rules of firearm safety:

- Treat every gun as if it is loaded.

- Never point a weapon at anything you don't intend to destroy.

- Never put your finger on a gun's trigger until you make a conscious decision to shoot.

- Always be sure of your target, what's beyond it, and what's between you and your target.

- When not in use, a firearm needs to be locked in some kind of secure container—a gun vault is best. If it cannot be secured in a locked location, then a trigger lock should be applied. A loaded firearm should never be unattended.

This poem is dedicated to PhillA, who sparked off the seed for this poem.

The Stark Naked King

When the challenge arrived from the ax wielding Philla "I must hurry and offer a bribe to his queen, thought nova, to avoid a merciless onslaught ending in bloody gore". Alas, the challenge had been secretly sent the day before. There he stood with ax and all at the castle's gate, While teasingly sending in a not-so-holy bishop as bait. High on the castle's wall nova bellowed: dump the boiling oil, To force the ax-man with his troops to screamingly recoil. To no avail, Philla hurled his castle straight upon the king, Who standing stark naked, tried to hide his private thing. So nova quickly conceded out of shameful desperation and Philla gently lowering the ax accepted nova's resignation.

The "explore this opening" link does not work correctly on this page because CGs has the D02 ECO code, which absolutely insists that all game examples have 2.Nf3, which was not played until 7th ply in the game above.

In other words, the link is all but useless for those searching for 1.d 2.Nc3 3.Bc4 games. Not a single Baddur Jobava game appears.

The Jobava London System is a chess opening named after Georgian grandmaster Baadur Jobava. It is a variant of the London System, characterized by the moves 1.d4 2.Bf4 3.Nc3. This opening is known for its flexibility, allowing White to launch attacks on both the kingside and queenside, making it a great choice for players looking for an aggressive yet straightforward approach. The Jobava London System is easy to learn, as the ideas and moves remain consistent regardless of the opponent's responses. https://www.chessgeek.org/learn-che...

In classical time controls, Baduur Jobava no longer plays this opening system named after him (as well as Richard Rapport and Eric Prie). Yet, grandmasters continue playing the Sarratt Attack/Accelerated London System 1.d4 2.Bf4 at all time controls. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NB...

Agadmator uses the ECO code A45 for games that begin 1.d4 Nf6, a single queen pawn opening. This is technically correct. However, 2.Nc3 d5 (White is threatening 3.e4 if allowed which would become a B07-9 Pirc defense, a single king pawn opening) transposes to D01, a double queen pawn opening. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yx...

This poem is dedicated to Harris my chessplayer friend and literary commentator.

Chess The Final Metaphor

It was in a cesspool behind the place of his cousin Nick

That in this pool of sewage, was born the freak called frick.

On dark nights he hysterically wailed in his pool of slimy mess:

"Oh why oh why, can't I play the game that humans call chess"?

As the morning sun rose, begged the queen of the mighty king:

Sire, can you not order the death of this awful filthy thing"?

Wisely he replied: "no, I'll let frick live forever in distress

While he must watch others enjoy themselves playing chess."

"There just isn't enough televised chess." — David Letterman

"Do the things that interest you and do them with all your heart. Don't be concerned about whether people are watching you or criticizing you. The chances are that they aren't paying any attention to you. It's your attention to yourself that is so stultifying. But you have to disregard yourself as completely as possible. If you fail the first time then you'll just have to try harder the second time. After all, there's no real reason why you should fail. Just stop thinking about yourself." — Eleanor Roosevelt

"Many have become chess masters, no one has become the master of chess." — Siegbert Tarrasch

"True power is expressed in quiet confidence; it was the sea's very calmness that epitomized its mighty force." ― Emile Habiby

"Remember that there are two kinds of beauty: one of the soul and the other of the body. That of the soul displays its radiance in intelligence, in chastity, in good conduct, in generosity, and in good breeding, and all these qualities may exist in an ugly man. And when we focus our attention upon that beauty, not upon the physical, love generally arises with great violence and intensity. I am well aware that I am not handsome, but I also know that I am not deformed, and it is enough for a man of worth not to be a monster for him to be dearly loved, provided he has those spiritual endowments I have spoken of." ― Miguel Cervantes

Z is for Zipper (to the tune of "Mary Had a Little Lamb")

Zipper starts with letter Z,
Letter Z, letter Z,
Zipper starts with Letter Z,
/z/, /z/, /z/, /z/!
