Winning With the French (Uhlmann)
Compiled by Sergio X Garcia

Compiled by Chessdreamer

beatgiant: 'Twas the night before Christmas, when all on the board, not a creature was stirring save the Black pieces' king and lord. <FSR> was calculating attacking lines with care, in hopes a neat checkmate soon would be there. When what should his wondering eyes then see, but a miniature by castling with mate on d3. "On king's knight, on queen, on queen's knight, on bishop! To the center we go to beat this fish up!"

He laughed when he saw it, in spite of himself, making him look a right jolly old elf. He was heard to exclaim, ere he logged off the site, "Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good knight."

Q: Why do ghosts love elevators?
A: It lifts their spirits.

"A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one." ― George R.R. Martin

"If you don't like to read, you haven't found the right book." – J.K. Rowling

"Books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the destination, and the journey. They are home." ― Anna Quindlen

"Nothing is dearer to a chess player's heart than his rating. Well, of course everyone knows he's under-rated, but his rating, its ups and downs, however miniscule, are his ego's stock-market report." ― Lev Alburt

"The ideas which now pass for brilliant innovations and advances are in fact mere revivals of ancient errors, and a further proof of the dictum that those who are ignorant of the past are condemned to repeat it." ― Henry Hazlitt

"I went frantically mad with chess. I bought a chess-board. I bought Il Calabrese. I shut myself up in my room and spent days and nights there with a will to learn all the games by heart, to cram them into my head willy-nilly, to play alone without end or remission. After two or three months working in that fine way, and after unimaginable endeavours, I went to the Cafe with a lean and sallow face, and nearly stupid. I made a trial, playing with Monsieur Bagueret again. He beat me once, twice, twenty times." — Jean-Jacques Rousseau

That clean, fresh smell...

Q: What do you call a Frenchman in sandals?
A: Phillipe Floppe.

My colleague decided to make a witty perfume.
I told her the most important component is the scents of humor.

There was a suspicious person with a peg nose that we saw the other day. We called him a suspeg.

My dad got the flu. He said it was like his nose went on strike. I told him, "You should picket."

I dislike people who refuse to cover their noses and mouths when sneezing. They make me sick.
