I have made the song Stop the War for Opium, and I was in kind of @#$% list by the finnish police already. And then I did also some street art about a weed smoking social worker, after which the security threats against my person reached such levels that I decided to declare being 718 mentioned in the manuscript Liber AL. I wanted to know a little bit about quantum physics in my youth, and I did, and then I was like of, whatever, I don't feel like knowing more. Now I am trying to dig into the concept of scientific truth because there is something deeply wrong with modern medicine, and economics too.
I have also developed my own chess variation which I call Ichess or Ishakki. It has two rule alternations, basically.
1. Player can take his own pieces or pawns. That is a square occupied by players own pieces (not the King, naturally) can be occupied in players turn by another of his pieces when it would have the right to move there and the piece previously in that square is removed from the board.

2. Provided a player has less than 16 pieces and less than 8 pawns and the rank in question has a vacant square, he can use his move to create a new pawn to either first or eight rank depending on color. The first move of the new pawn is one step forward (when a player uses another move for that) and from second and seventh rank the normal exceptions apply.

Jul-24-21 Andrey Esipenko

Ilkka Salonen: Alas! He encounters the World Champion again in the FIDE World Cup, Who is even the favourite? All Russian semifinals are still possible but perhaps no Russians in semifinals is more likely.

Jul-06-21 Ian Nepomniachtchi

Ilkka Salonen: I think that in these troubled times there is real uncertainty about a player's form. For that reason I think odds in the world champion ship match don't favour the world champion as much as they normally would.

Jul-05-21 World Championship Candidates (2020/21)

Ilkka Salonen: Will there be classical time control finish at the World Championship match or another rapid and blitz event? Let´s hope both player´s make it to the match in good condition, because these are troubled times. It is a bit funny that Nepomniatchi can´t play under ...

Apr-13-21 Nguyen Hoang Tuan vs That Nhu Tung Ton, 2005

Ilkka Salonen: Way go go Vietnam. I have heard about your grievances.

Feb-15-21 Stoltz vs Capablanca, 1928

Ilkka Salonen: Stockholm has the worst hangovers. This is not as bad as Assange got.

Aug-08-20 FIDE Online Olympiad (2020)

Ilkka Salonen: Finland fails to even field a team! What is going on? I think in many cases playing conditions could be subpar due to factors such as connection problems, malware and harrasment of various kinds or just annoyances of urban environment such as rennovation noises, poor air ...

Apr-29-20 A Nokso-Koivisto vs M Lanzani, 1989

Ilkka Salonen: Analogue to president Koivisto comes to mind, who perhaps showed restraint in his relations with KGB and wasn't subject to forced wife sharing as other KGB informants often were. A phenomenon which then possibly triggered the finnish Security Intelligence Police to use threat ...

Feb-09-20 Shakhriyar Mamedyarov

Ilkka Salonen: Yeah. Mamedyarov plays against Anna Muzychuk, wins but is out of the tournament. Maybe one could get some kind of increase in blood pressure from playing AM :) I wonder how ill he is or was, though.

Dec-31-19 M Kobalia vs K Holm, 2018

Ilkka Salonen: I didn't see at first howcome taking the rook from the corner on 16th move wouldn't work. But after 16. ...Qxa1, there is a neat way to trap the queen. 17. Bb2 Qa2 18. Nc3 Qb3 19. Bxf5 and cxb4 (nothing else would work) 20. Bc2 Qxb2 21. Bxh7+ Kxh7 22. Qxb2.

Dec-13-19 Schlechter vs J Thirring, 1893

Ilkka Salonen: Nice double check. I'm more of a poet, but I have lots of ideas for daily puns. I'm thinking of going through finnish player's worst defeats and suggesting "Nice guys finnish last". I have discovered though, that one can only suggest same pun once.
