| Arthur.J.Fizelbotom: Dear Santa,
I've always wondered... do you get french fries stuck in your beard? And if so, how do they taste afterwords? Love,

Aug-26-10 Kramnik vs Kasparov, 1994
| |
| Arthur.J.Fizelbotom: There's an interesting section in the book "Rethinking the Chess Pieces" by Soltis (Batsford, 2004) that deals with giving up the queen for several minor pieces and a few pawns. I don't have it in front of me, so someone with access may want to verify, but if I remember ... |

| |
| Arthur.J.Fizelbotom: I love how Akobian's king looks wide open to attack, yet his 2 knights prevent white from any meaningful incursion (from about move 39 through 47), even though they look horrible- they restrict each others movement, one is on the rim, etc. Of course, he didn't win, but ... |

Jun-27-09 Philidor Defense (C41)
| |
| Arthur.J.Fizelbotom: I often adopt a sort of Sicilian setup as white against the Philidor, since the Sicilian is one of my favorites and I feel comfortable with the positions that arise. Something like 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 exd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 Be7 6.Be3 0-0 7.Qd2 Nbd7 8.f3 c5 8.Nb3 h6 (the |

| Arthur.J.Fizelbotom: <blackburg> Regarding Synesthesia, I remember reading that some people think Jimi Hendrix might have had this to some degree... He didnt read music, and knew little music theory, and instead would describe the sounds he was trying to get to other musicians using ... |
