Member since Oct-01-06 · Last seen Apr-26-25
NJ--no rating. Favorites, Morphy, Marshall, Anderssen. Played a lot as a teen, then let it go for 40 years. Trying to reconstitute myself as a chess player.

Meanwhile, let this forum serve as a refuge from wild-eyed loony leftism. Here there will be no admiration for Hugo Chavez, Castro, or any of the other tin-pot dictators admired by chess players from the safety of freedom-loving Western democracies. Here will be found a premise that most of the nations of the world today are governed by Godless fools. Ours, too, unfortunately.

I was also going to say some uncomplimentary things about Queen Pawn games, the Sicilian and the French Defenses, Semi-Slav games, and a few other chess matters. But as those are purely questions of personal taste, I have chosen to leave them alone.

Since setting up this forum, I have also had several novels published: "Bell Mountain," "The Cellar Beneath the Cellar," and "The Thunder King." For more information about them (and me), visit my website, http://leeduigon.com/

Update, much delayed: my fourth book, "The Last Banquet," came out last year, and my fifth, "The Fugitive Prince," I expect to be published sometime this Spring. For book covers and free sample chapters, visit my blog.

Update again: "The Fugitive Prince" is out now and the next project is "The Palace." Editing is well advanced, but we're still waiting for a cover.

Update: "The Palace" is in print now along with No. 7, "The Glass Bridge," with No. 8, "The Temple," waiting in the wings. The first seven are all available via amazon.com.

Update: No. 8, "The Temple," and No.9, "The Throne," are now in print, with No. 10, "The Silver Trumpet,"due for release any day now.

  playground player: <thegoodanarchist> Like you, I always read the newspapers when I was a boy. I also used to watch, with my mother, the UN meetings, when they used to be televised live. I remember Khrushchev pounding the table with his shoe. And DeGaulle. My mother used to do DeGaulle imitations.

Later in life I became a newspaper editor and reporter, in the 1970s. Back then, our gang at the press table made it a point of honor to try to report news accurately.

This is gone. Our nooze media are no longer a reliable source of information.

<Jessicafischerqueen> Sobering thoughts. As the Romans so clearly demonstrated, a republic is difficult to maintain. They lost theirs. We could very easily do the same: Democrats work tirelessly toward that goal.

  playground player: Dig the new nooze media "narrative":

"Border crisis? What border crisis? Why, there's hardly anybody who sees a problem with illegal immigration! Just that handful of White Supremacists who hate everybody!"

I am sickened by what our journalism has become.

  playground player: <Steamed Colleagues> Looniversity of Illinois wants students and staff to rat each other out for "acts of intolerance"--very loosely defined, more campus Stalinism.

https://leeduigon.com/2019/01/12/ca...

You are probably wondering why I illustrated that blog post with a picture of a happy puppy.

Well, Facebook wouldn't let me post it at first--said it violated their "Community Standards." "Community" is another one of those words that can mean virtually anything, when leftids use it. Originally the post was illustrated with the front page of a college noozepaper with the headline, "White Is Over," and a little something about "Your DNA is an abomination" (if you're white).

I chose that photo because it perfectly illustrated the hypocrisy I was talking about. But when I replaced it with a picture of a happy puppy, the Facebook censors let me post the essay. I expect those censors are robots that simply react as programmed.

No more public funds for colleges and universities! Cut off the funding now.

Repent, and believe in the Gospel

The kampus kops at the Looniversity of Illinois want students to report “acts of intolerance” to their “Bias Assessment and Response Team”

prejudice against or hostility toward a person (or group)>

How ya vehemently gonna hate Trump, and Trump supporters?

It's getting to the point where a, filled with rage liberal, only has throwing Molotov cocktails, at a college campus, when someone with a different opinion shows up.

(Bias response teams don't do Molotov cocktails)

I was kind of expecting "Sex Doll Stamps" to solve that issue.

Using liberal liar lingo:
"Affordable" Sex Dolls.

After all, it's only other people's money.

  playground player: <diceman> It's only a matter of time before some Democrat candidate promises "free" sex dollars to deserving members of their voting base.

To get more of the copious quantities of money
they require, they're legalizing more
gambling, legalizing weed, I would expect prostitution to be next.

  playground player: <Steamed Colleagues> It's not enough for left-wing censors to tell you what you can't write. Now they want to tell you what you have to write.

http://leeduigon.com/2019/01/16/a-s...

If you don't like movies or (holy moly!) comic books with not enough female characters in them, don't shell out any money for them. Surely we don't need a *test* to "measure gender equality in fiction.

  playground player: <Esteemed Colleagues> I could hardly believe this story, but it seems to be true: pastor chased out of his church for sticking to the Bible.
