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.

My young sons were brought up in YouTube academy and I have to scold them all the time for cussing in English words.

  playground player: <OhioChessFan> "Community payback"??? It was the little girl and her family who were the injured parties--not some vague impersonal "community." But leftids like child molesters.

<Esteemed Colleagues> Meanwhile, another little group you never heard of sets itself up to order the kind of world you live in.

<Lee> On that Guardian article, what a surprise to see this- again:

<In recent weeks, however, Moffat’s school, which serves a predominantly Muslim community, has become the focus of demonstrations by parents worried that children are being taught about same-sex couples and gender identity when they are too young.>

So tough for the New Stalinists, when confronted with a direct contradiction in their "intersectionality" nonsense, they simply pretend it doesn't exist.

The greatest enemy in the world to LGBQTBULLCRAP is Islam. No enemy even comes close to the extent Muslims despise LGBQUTBULLCRAP people. Given the chance, they would execute them.

Nothing like picking the wrong religion to defend their Stalinist agenda.

<WannaBe> Why doesn't anyone **ever** stand up to this vermin? Why doesn't anyone ever tell them to take their stupid meaningless inclusiveness and stick it where the sun don't shine?>

Because "brave" liberals do these things from positions of power. From "Educators" who control your grades, to "Administrators" who can suspend/toss you out.

They never say, "Here's a recommendation we'd like you to follow." Fascism at its finest.

By the way, I sure everyone there knew they were at a "Hawaiian" party.

They don't like level playing fields.

Look at what happened to Trump for
walking in off the street, and daring to win an election.

  playground player: Now the libs are astounded that "the rich" are fleeing high-tax states like New York and Illinois. Unable to build a wall around the state to keep them in, they've had to settle for pursuing them with very harsh audits.

  playground player: <Esteemed Colleagues> I knew there had to be a good reason for New York giving control of the schools to the mayor's office!

https://leeduigon.com/2019/03/12/ny...

Question: If compulsory vegetarian Mondays are so good for children, and so necessary [trumpet fanfare] To Save The Planet, why not force all city employees to follow this custom, too--with the mayor himself setting an example?

Let's not hold our breath waiting for that to happen.

  WannaBe: When I was in high school, (dinosaurs and humans lived together, yabba-dabba-doo Flintstone days) my trig/pre-calc teacher would write a Bible verse on the black board (is that racist term today?) <EACH DAY> of the beginning of the start of the day. And it would remain for the duration of the class day, 8AM to 3PM

Never bothered me, (I am not religious, agnostic, Lutheran at best...) no one complained, not one (wabbit) peep. Pardon the expression. The principal never visited my teacher, no talk about the verses that he posted.

But this <IS> a denial of freedom of speech!!!

In primary school we recited the Lord's Prayer and sang God Save the Queen every single morning.

Not one person ever complained about it in or out of school.

It's called a "culture" and we used to have one.

I'm neither a Christian nor a Loyalist, but I love the Lord's Prayer and God Save the Queen.

Shoot me.
