 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: I thought of Robert Frost; indeed his "Stopping in the Woods on a Snowy Evening" (or something like that) could serve as a metaphor for a chessplayer who eschews the Ruy and the Queen's Gambit for the Borg and Anderssen's Attack. |
|
| Jun-30-07 | | whiteshark: <Good Evening, <An Englishman <I thought of Robert Frost>, too.>> Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference. |
|
| Jun-30-07 | | Benzol: <An Englishman> I thought you might have been thinking about David Jason. |

| Jan-08-08 | | sneaky pete: From a letter by C. Frost from Syston to the editor of the British Chess Magazine, October 10, 1923. Dear Sir,
I would be pleased if you would consider the following as a suggested labour-saving notation. It is essential that the simplest notation that can be devised should be used ... This is followed by an explanation of the new notation syston ... er ... system, and an example of how a game in "the simplest notation that can be devised" looks like: WHITE BLACK
01 29 P43
02 28 36
03 N19 29
04 29 N46
05 Q20 37
06 37 Q33+
07 B12 37
08 CQ N29
09 60+ M
10 39++
and wins |

 | | alexmagnus: Ehrm.. What's with that notation? |
|
| Mar-20-09 | | whiteshark: Alex: I think it could be that each square got a number from 1-64, but I'm not sure about the right allocation. |

| | alexmagnus: Ah yes. Actually now I reconstructed the game:
1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 dxe4 4.Nxe4 Nf6 5.Qd3 e5 6. dxe5 Qa5+ 7. Bd2 Qxe5 8.0-0-0 Nxe4 9. Qd8+! Kxd8 10.Bg5+ 1-0. Though remains a question what "M" means. Here it stands for the Kxd8 move, but why M and not simply 60? |
|
| Mar-20-09 | | whiteshark: M for <only <Move>>?! |
|
| Mar-20-09 | | sneaky pete: Reti vs Tartakower, 1910. |

a homogenized society because I want the cream to rise." |
|
| Feb-16-19 | | whiteshark: <Fire and Ice> Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
Robert Frost, 1926 |
