3T Players Tease Fredthebear
Compiled by fredthebear
--*--

This collection had to be thinned out. The "double t players" Staunton, Steinitz, Zukertort and Tartakower are in another collection. Tal has his own collection; his games will be removed. Tarrasch, Teichmann, Traxler, Torre, Trompowsky, Taimanov, Timman, Topalov, etc. still remain.

Thank you, Ulhumbrus! For a solid chess lesson from Capablanca, read Ulhumbrus blogger notes to the 1919 game between Alexander and Thomas.

Delaware: Lewes
Established in: 1631

As the first town in the first state, Lewes enjoys a special sort of charming history. The quaint town is full of historical touches and is a great place to visit. Located where the Delaware Bay and Atlantic Ocean meet, there is also plenty of nature to be found.

* Mr. Harvey's Puzzle Challenge: https://wtharvey.com/

WTHarvey: There once was a website named WTHarvey, Where chess puzzles did daily delay,
The brain-teasers so tough,
They made us all huff and puff,
But solving them brought us great satisfaction today.

There once was a website named WTHarvey
Where chess puzzles were quite aplenty
With knight and rook and pawn
You'll sharpen your brain with a yawn
And become a master of chess entry

There once was a site for chess fun,
Wtharvey.com was the chosen one,
With puzzles galore,
It'll keep you in store,
For hours of brain-teasing, none done.

There once was a website named WTHarvey,
Where chess puzzles were posted daily,
You'd solve them with glee,
And in victory,
You'd feel like a true chess prodigy!

The Two Mules

Two mules were bearing on their backs,
One, oats; the other, silver of the tax.
The latter glorying in his load,
Marched proudly forward on the road;
And, from the jingle of his bell,
It was plain he liked his burden well.
But in a wild-wood glen
A band of robber men
Rushed forth on the twain.
Well with the silver pleased,
They by the bridle seized
The treasure-mule so vain.
Poor mule! in struggling to repel
His ruthless foes, he fell
Stabbed through; and with a bitter sighing,
He cried, "Is this the lot they promised me?
My humble friend from danger free,
While, weltering in my gore, I'm dying?"
"My friend," his fellow-mule replied,
"It is not well to have one's work too high.
If you had been a miller's drudge, as I,
You would not thus have died."

<<<Green Haven in a Concrete Jungle> by Michael Brogan>

Even as I walk past,
Comerica stands
grass illuminates like a lamp post on a winter night. Tigers season, baby
Dad and I do our yearly tradition.
The smell of the park is second to none.
But not this year.
Dad ain't doin so well.
His knee ain't up for it.
Love you, old man.
Maybe, just maybe, the old Tigs
will surprise us and make the playoffs
and then
maybe, just maybe,
we can go to a game
and let that tradition ride on.>

The oldest known chess poem is called the Einsiedeln Poem (one copy has the title "Versus de Scachis"). It was discovered first in the Einsiedeln canton of Switzerland. Marilym Yalom in the "Birth of the Chess Queen" tells us the manusript was created by a German-speaking Benedictine monk at the monastery in Einsiedeln. This is a very important chess document since, while the game in the poem is clearly the Muslim game of chess, it contains many modern features. First, it avoids Ababic terms and the "nomenclature of the game is drawn from that of the state, and not from that of the army." It presents chess as "not a dice game," and mentions a chequered board (as opposed to the Arabic unicolored board). The names of the pieces are given as rex (King), regina (Queen), comes or curvus (Count -today's Bishop), eques (Knight), rochus (Rook) and pedes (Pawn). Notice the use of the term "regina;" this is the first mention of, what was previously known as "vizier," the Queen, although this Queen could only move one square diagonally. A Pawn could be promoted to Queen (who was only marginally more powerful than a pawn) but only if the original Queen in off the board. — batgirl, chess.com

Mar-11-05 tpstar: Sokolov Was In For Trouble
Suddenly White Initiated Forcing Threats

Shocking When Ivan Fell Through
Savvy Winner Ingests French Toast

Mar-11-05 aw1988: LOL! I must admit, that is very good.

May-27-05 Durandal: AdrianP: SWIFT was the sponsor of the tournament, the company is a cooperative effort to provide secure financial communications between banks worldwide (SWIFT is the acronym for Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication, see swift.com), based in La Hulpe, near Brussels, Belgium. IIRC, its CEO at the time was Bessel Kok, a well known chess patron.

May-27-05 AdrianP: <Durandal> I see - as in SWIFT transfer.

Proverbs 14:29-35

29 He who is slow to anger has great understanding, But he who is quick-tempered * exalts folly.

30 A tranquil heart is life to the body, But passion is rottenness to the bones.

31 He who oppresses the poor taunts his Maker, But he who is gracious to the needy honors Him.

32 The wicked is thrust down by his wrongdoing, But the righteous has a refuge when he dies.

33 Wisdom rests in the heart of one who has understanding, But in the hearts of fools it is made known.

34 Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a disgrace to any people.

35 The king's favor is toward a servant who acts wisely, But his anger is toward him who acts shamefully.

A Lefty Land
by JD Maxwell

A different land exists somewhere,
Where lefties are the norm.
The lefty side considered there,
Is standard for the form.

Lets say, someone, you go to meet,
And then extend a hand.
But it's the left, you'll use to greet,
In all the lefty land.

A lefty golfer's shopping dream,
For clubs would be abound.
Or you could fit a baseball team,
Where lefty gloves are found.

From right to left, we all would write,
And never more to smear,
The ink our hand collects just might,
On up and disappear.

And think about the kitchen tools,
To fill about your house.
And then you'll find at all the schools,
A left computer mouse.

And so I dream that there's a place,
That's based upon a hand,
And all of us can share a space,
Our little lefty land.

Caissa, The Chess Lord.

Lord, I play three hundred hours of chess,
indeed, Lord, in thirty days more or less.
I have done my best under gruelling stress,
Yet I'm not happy with my snailing progress.
Yes, Lord. Caissa, to you I sadly do confess:
my constant losing has put me in distress.
I beg of you, Lord, Caissa, help me to re-assess so I can beat those who keep me in this mess.
Lord, with your blessing and your skills I guess I would always win and so powerfully aggress,
that all my opponents would humbly express:
hark here cometh the unbeatable king of chess.

America
by Walt Whitman

Centre of equal daughters, equal sons,
All, all alike endear'd, grown, ungrown, young or old, Strong, ample, fair, enduring, capable, rich,
Perennial with the Earth, with Freedom, Law and Love, A grand, sane, towering, seated Mother,
Chair'd in the adamant of Time.

My Country 'Tis of Thee (America) Composed in 1831 by Samuel Francis Smith

My country, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
From ev'ry mountainside
Let freedom ring!

My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free,
Thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture thrills,
Like that above.

Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedom's song;
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break,
The sound prolong.

Our fathers' God to Thee,
Author of liberty,
To Thee we sing.
Long may our land be bright,
With freedom's holy light,
Protect us by Thy might,
Great God our King.

Uncle Sam Reshevsky was hit with Biden's Mate (crossways Catholic bishops) in a St. Louis (now the USA chess capital of sorts) department store, but business is booming back.

The Elephant in the Room is obviously the GOP's Donald J. Trump, already man of the decade. Although the bar was very low, and personal cost very, very high, fighter Trump has returned to office less than two months and already accomplished more than bumbling Joe Biden did in four awful years. The Deep State has been exposed, the Woke agenda is being erased from children's books and women's locker rooms, hostages are returning to their homes, trespassers are staying south of the border, and the Washington D.C. Swamp is being drained. Mighty America is Great Again!! https://www.politico.com/news/magaz...

<<<poem by <B.H. Wood>, entitled ‘The Drowser':>

Ah, reverie! Ten thousand heads I see
Bent over chess-boards, an infinity
Of minds engaged in battle, fiendishly,
Keenly, or calmly, as the case may be:
World-wide, the neophyte, the veteran,
The studious problemist, the fairy fan ...
"What's that? – I'm nearly sending you to sleep? Sorry! – but this position's rather deep.">

"I hate a liar. Maybe because I'm such a good one myself, heh? Anyway, to find someone has told an out and out lie puts him on the other side of the fence from me for all time." ― Clark Gable

"It's where we go, and what we do when we get there, that tells us who we really are." ― Joyce Carol Oates

"Dream your dreams with open eyes and make them come true." ― T. E. Lawrence

"No player can escape from having bad games or bad tournaments from time to time. What separates the best from the rest is the ability to stay calm, cope with disappointment, and bounce right back to fight even harder. Winners never quit!" ― Susan Polgar

"Champions do not quit when facing adversity! They go back to the drawing board, pinpoint the problems, fix them, then fight again with even more determination and intensity!" ― Susan Polgar

"When people ask what is the biggest achievement of my 45+ year career, in my mind, it will be my next success. My advice is do not live in your past glory. Continue to go forward and aim for the next big accomplishment!" ― Susan Polgar

"The human element, the human flaw and the human nobility - those are the reasons that chess matches are won or lost." ― Viktor Korchnoi

El que no sabe gozar de la ventura cuando le viene, no debe quejarse si se pasa. (He who doesn't know how to enjoy good fortune when it comes to him shouldn't complain when it passes him by.) ― Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1547-1616)

Strike while the iron is hot – this line can be found in the 13th century: ‘One must strike the iron while it is hot'.

The Ass and the Little Dog

One's native talent from its course
Cannot be turned aside by force;
But poorly apes the country clown
The polished manners of the town.
Their Maker chooses but a few
With power of pleasing to imbue;
Where wisely leave it we, the mass,
Unlike a certain fabled ass,
That thought to gain his master's blessing
By jumping on him and caressing.
"What!" said the donkey in his heart;
"Ought it to be that puppy's part
To lead his useless life
In full companionship
With master and his wife,
While I must bear the whip?
What does the cur a kiss to draw?
Forsooth, he only gives his paw!
If that is all there needs to please,
I'll do the thing myself, with ease."
Possessed with this bright notion, –
His master sitting on his chair,
At leisure in the open air, –
He ambled up, with awkward motion,
And put his talents to the proof;
Upraised his bruised and battered hoof,
And, with an amiable mien,
His master patted on the chin,
The action gracing with a word –
The fondest bray that ever was heard!
O, such caressing was there ever?
Or melody with such a quaver?
"Ho! Martin! here! a club, a club bring!"
Out cried the master, sore offended.
So Martin gave the ass a drubbing, –
And so the comedy was ended.

Mar-07-13 Abdel Irada: In case anyone wonders who Kermit Norris is/was, he's an expert in Santa Cruz against whom I used to play a great deal of blitz. His specialty, when a particularly complex position arose (especially in his pet Owen's Defense), was to lean forward, fix his opponent with a scowl and a withering stare, and say, in a deep and solemn tone, "Chicken parts!"

The Lion and the Rat

To show to all your kindness, it behoves:
There's none so small but you his aid may need.
I quote two fables for this weighty creed,
Which either of them fully proves.
From underneath the sward
A rat, quite off his guard,
Popped out between a lion's paws.
The beast of royal bearing
Showed what a lion was
The creature's life by sparing –
A kindness well repaid;
For, little as you would have thought
His majesty would ever need his aid,
It proved full soon
A precious boon.
Forth issuing from his forest glen,
T" explore the haunts of men,
In lion net his majesty was caught,
From which his strength and rage
Served not to disengage.
The rat ran up, with grateful glee,
Gnawed off a rope, and set him free.

By time and toil we sever
What strength and rage could never.

St. Marher, 1225:
