| Jan-12-10 | | Oliveira: <NakoSonorese> Yeah, you know, "knowing zero French" you went reasonable, stroke on the post. You understood the words, but you made a mistake. I haven't ever studied French as well, but being a Portuguese native speaker (Brazilian!) even knowing nothing about French, I still know something! The correct <literal> translation is: "If not all artists are chessplayers, all chessplayers are artists." In your translation is implied that all artists are not chessplayers, what is not true at all. A similar mistranslation was made by me when I misinterpreted the English rendition "Not all artists may be chessplayers" by "Not all artists <can> be chessplayers." Then I realized that "may" indeed indicates likelihood or probability in contrast with capability or ability as "can" does. This arouse for in general both "can" e "may" have the same correspondent, "poder", in Portuguese and Spanish as you know. Arriba, muchacho! |

| Jan-12-10 | | Oliveira: <Shams: At their respective bests, who was stronger -- Duchamp or Janowski?> I've got to admit that I haven't played over Duchamp games, but Janowsky was one of the bests of his time, and a time that belonged to Lasker, Tarrasch, Lasker, Schlechter, Capablanca. Duchamp was only one of the best French of his time and yet far behind of Alekhine. |

< "I am still a victim of chess. It has all the beauty of art -- and much more. It cannot be commercialized. Chess is much purer than art in its social position." > |

| Jul-28-11 | | Sem: Dutch grandmaster Donner greatly admired Duchamp. At some gathering he noticed Duchamp and his wife among the guests. Timidly he approached the great man and, introducing himself, mumbled how much he admired him. But Duchamp turned to his wife and called: 'Chérie! C'est Donnèr!' |

< " The chess pieces are the block alphabet which shapes thoughts; and these thoughts, although making a visual design on the chess-board, express their beauty abstractly, like a poem. " > |

 | | Conrad93: A revolutionary! He showed the world how bad art can get without losing the name of "art." Now all a class of amateurs need is some philosophical nonsense behind their "masterpieces" and the public will flock to see their hard work, if it can be called that. |
