playground player
Member since Oct-01-06 · Last seen Mar-08-25
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: <Esteemed Colleagues> I can't understand why Democrats around the country are suddenly so hot to trot for late-term abortion. That bizarre Virginia bill (allow abortion as the baby is being delivered) died in committee yesterday--but why did they even bring it up at all? Why are they doing this?

Any ideas?

  playground player: Problem: Democrat governor unsalvageable, totally disgraced by *racism* in his college yearbook 35 years ago. Public relations disaster.

CNN has the solution. Abracadabra! Disgraced Democrat governor is now a Republican!

[$#%# picture won't take!]

It'd be extremely funny, if not for the possibility that some untold number of credulous CNN viewers (are there any other kind?) will actually believe it?

You can find the picture in my blog post.

  playground player: <diceman> Some of my readers suggested that this brouhaha with the governor--he has been ruled expendable by the Party--has been staged to wipe out discussion of what the Virginia Democrats tried to do last week: pass a bill authorizing out-and-out infanticide. The tactic seems to have worked.

It's soooo helpful to have the nooze media working hand-in-glove with you!

Ive heard, a guy who went to school with this guy, was so livid over abortion remarks, he released the information. (sounds "more" believable)

With the human atrocity, lies, failure,
tyranny, and oppression, the Democrat party stands for, (along with the Goebbel's Media) it's difficult to imagine them familiar with the word, "shame."

I understand NY just passed something similar. (with standing ovations after the vote)

<(with standing ovations after the vote)> They consider killing babies noble!

  playground player: <diceman> You heard right about New York, standing ovations and all.

Why are the Democrats staging a jihad for abortion? And a lot of pro-aborts draw the line at late-term abortion--but not the Democrat Party. One wonders how late in the baby's life would be too late for them. How do you have to be before Democrats won't kill you?

Feb-06-19  diceman: <playground player:>

<How> old <do you have to be before Democrats won't kill you?>

Judging by "The Great Society"
late teens, to late 20's is still acceptable.

Nice they skipped the mice, and went right to humans.

  playground player: <Esteemed Colleagues> Get a load of the walls that Hollywood liberals (a tautology?) have erected around their own property--while demanding "open borders" for the rest of us.

If "Walls don't work!", as they insist... why do they have them?

Check out the Democrats' "Green New Deal."

1.Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.

2.By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. 3Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.

  playground player: <Esteemed Colleagues> Would you believe it? Ralph "Houdini" Northam, having completely changed the subject of the conversation from his support for out-and-out infanticide to his youthful "racism" in 1984, looks like he's going to squirm out from under that one, too. With the help of a totally compliant nooze media, of course. After a little more groveling, they'll bury the story and he'll still be governor of Virginia.
