Oct-26-08  Octal: "I went frantically mad with chess. I bought a chess-board. I bought Il Calabrese. I shut myself up in my room and spent days and nights there with a will to learn all the games by heart, to cram them into my head willy-nilly, to play alone without end or remission. After two or three months working in that fine way, and after unimaginable endeavours, I went to the Cafe with a lean and sallow face, and nearly stupid. I made a trial, playing with Monsieur Bagueret again. He beat me once, twice, twenty times."

~Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Jun-28-09  talisman: "the 1st man fenced in a piece of land and said this is mine. He then found people naive enough to believe him."...Jean Rousseau.

Happy birthday Jean.

Feb-24-12  Marmot PFL: "I made the acquaintance of M. de Legal, of M. Husson, of Philidor, and of all the great chess players of that time, without however improving my game thereby. But I had no doubt that in the end I should be better than any of them..." It was not to be, so poor Rousseau has less than one page of comments.
