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: <Esteemed Colleagues> So it would've been A-OK if the reader had *not* been a registered sex offender, but just a drag queen who hadn't been convicted of a sex offense? That would have made it all right?

The whole thing is an abomination, and I cannot understand--and frankly don't want to understand--the mind-set of any parent who sends a child to such an event.

<You have received happiness, and Lazarus misfortune. Now he finds consolation here, whereas you are tormented.>

  playground player: <Steamed Colleagues> Democrat presidential candidates vie with one another to see who can stampede farthest to the left. This guy Yang has a plan for the government to take over the news media.

https://leeduigon.com/2019/03/20/de...

Don't they have any sane people left in that party? That's beginning to sound like a rhetorical question.

Technically, more of it.

Mar-22-19  tommyshelby: The chess game is very good it requires the mind to be strong and sharp. I have installed the chess game app on my ios device but the game is creating issue on other app so I have contacted https://itunessupport.org/blog/fix-...

  playground player: New Jersey yesterday stopped short of voting to legalize "recreational use"of marijuana.

https://leeduigon.com/2019/03/26/nj...

Leftids call it "an urgent civil rights issue." What bunk.

Now they want to go ahead with assisted suicide.

Don't let this happen to your state. Don't ever vote Democrat. Never again.

  playground player: Well, they did go ahead with assisted suicide. Legislature passed it yesterday, governor says he'll sign it today.

https://leeduigon.com/2019/03/27/nj...

Abortion, assisted suicide, sexual anarchy, and drugs--look for them, approved and encouraged by the government, wherever Democrat Kool-Aid is sold.

  perfidious: Would never have crossed my mind that there is a state where bestiality <is> legal.

Managed to learn one other thing from that piece: Washington DC is now a state!

Mar-28-19
Premium Chessgames Member
  playground player: <Perfidious> The USA Today article mentioned that "previous attempts" to declare bestiality illegal had failed. Failed? Like, there were legislators defending it as some kind of "right"? I would have liked to know more, but you couldn't open that link without subscribing, so the heck with it.

  perfidious: <pgp>, imagine having such a right, then worse: being deprived of it by some dastardly state legislature! The <nerve> of them!

While these types will no longer be able to make the excursion to their barns and farmyards with impunity, there is always the option for Kentuckians so inclined of repairing to neighbour West Virginia, one of the few states so 'enlightened' as to have not criminalised the practice.
