"Whatever we are waiting for - peace of mind, contentment, grace, the inner awareness of simple abundance - it will surely come to us, but only when we are ready to receive it with an open and grateful heart." ― Sarah Ban Breathnach

"Reason obeys itself; and ignorance submits to whatever is dictated to it." ― Thomas Paine

"The turkey's eyes are such that he can see a bumblebee turn a somersault on the verge of the horizon." ― Archibald Rutledge

"To err is human; to forgive, divine." ― Alexander Pope

"I consider Mr. Morphy the finest chess player who ever existed. He is far superior to any now living, and would doubtless have beaten Labourdonnais himself. In all his games with me, he has not only played, in every instance, the exact move, but the most exact. He never makes a mistake; but, if his adversary commits the slightest error, he is lost." ― Adolf Anderssen

"A pawn, when separated from his fellows, will seldom or never make a fortune." ― Francois-Andre Danican Philidor

"Be warned! From Satan's viewpoint you are a pawn in his game of cosmic chess." ― Adrian Rogers

"Chess first of all teaches you to be objective." — Alexander Alekhine

"Among a great many other things that chess teaches you is to control the initial excitement you feel when you see something that looks good. It trains you to think before grabbing and to think just as objectively when you're in trouble." — Stanley Kubrick

"Chess helps you to concentrate, improve your logic. It teaches you to play by the rules, take responsibility for your actions, how to problem solve in an uncertain environment." — Garry Kasparov

"Daring ideas are like chessmen moved forward. They may be beaten, but they may start a winning game." — Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

"To avoid losing a piece, many a person has lost the game." — Savielly Tartakower

"Battles are won by slaughter and maneuver. The greater the general, the more he contributes in maneuver, the less he demands in slaughter." ― Winston S. Churchill

"In chess, as in life, a man is his own most dangerous opponent." ― Vasily Smyslov

"I always plan for long-term; life to me is a never-ending chess match." ― James D. Wilson

"Tis action moves the world....in the game of chess, mind that: ye cannot leave your men to stand unmoving on the board and hope to win. A soldier must first step upon the battlefield if does mean to cross it." ― Susanna Kearsley, The Winter Sea

"Never play to win a pawn while your development is yet unfinished!" ― Aron Nimzowitsch

"Fancy what a game of chess would be if all the chessmen had passions and intellects, more or less small and cunning; if you were not only uncertain about your adversary's men, but a little uncertain also about your own; if your knight could shuffle himself on to a new square by the sly; if your bishop, at your castling, could wheedle your pawns out of their places; and if your pawns, hating you because they are pawns, could make away from their appointed posts that you might get checkmate on a sudden. You might be the longest-headed of deductive reasoners, and yet you might be beaten by your own pawns. You would be especially likely to be beaten, if you depended arrogantly on your mathematical imagination, and regarded your passionate pieces with contempt. Yet this imaginary chess is easy compared with the game a man has to play against his fellow-men with other fellow-men for his instruments." ― George Eliot, Felix Holt: The Radical

Thank you Marco65.

Personally, Fredthebear recommends the romantic, classical style 1.e4 e5 for amateurs (including gambits) for a natural, more active game with winning and drawing chances by Black. The active piece play and the rapid kingside attacks in the double king pawn open games makes a person fall in love with chess; often both colors enjoyed playing the aggressive 1.e4 e5 open game. Nearly all the great masters have played this way and the study of their games is highly recommended.

(There is also something to be said for the lifelong tunnel-vision study of a specialist's flank opening with the White pieces, such as 1.b3 Larsen's Opening, 1.b4 Polish-Orangutan, 1.c4 English, 1.f4 Henry Bird's Opening, or 1.g3 Hungarian Opening. Black's various responses give White the variety that s/he otherwise denies one's self. These flank openings are less concerned with the exact move order necessary to play 1.e4 successfully, and depend more upon the minor piece placement within the resulting pawn structure. White can become so familiar with his responses to evolving Black pawn structures that his insight yields a middlegame advantage through shear accumulated experience if the center holds up.)

After studying the Caro-Kann and Slav Defenses, Black can safely play 1...c6 and 2...d5 against ANY White response. This testimonial speaks to the sound strength of the structure. Black must care for the base of the pawn chain at b7, develop the king's bishop usefully, and wait a handful(s) of moves before an opportunity to seize the initiative is presented.

Fredthebear is trying to be fair and respectful to the Caro-Kann Defense here. The Caro-Kann is a world class defense! The C-K has the approval of world champions... the likes of Capablanca and Botvinnik did not fool around with inferior openings or defenses. Petrosian was a fine defensive player who used it, as was the constrictor Anatoly Karpov. My friend, this is the supreme pedigree of a championship defense for a patient player of the Black pieces!

Caro-Kann Defense: 1.e4 c6
ECO Codes: B10–B19

The Caro-Kann is a Semi-Open Game defense where Black prepares a center pawn thrust by first supporting it with 1...c6. It has a reputation of being a solid, strong defense for Black with a good pawn structure in the endgame. It is named after the English player Horatio Caro and the Austrian's Marcus Kann. They both analyzed the opening in 1886.

The Caro-Kann is popular, and the following is the varying response statistics played by White: • 2.d4 - 80%.
• 2.Nc3 - 6%.
• 2.c4 - 5%.
• 2.d3 - 3%.
• 2.Nf3 - 3%.

The Caro-Kann Defense 1.e4 c6 might be the best defense to 1.e4 for the experienced, practical player as well as the professional positional player. The slow-starting Caro-Kann does not have a tactical appeal, but it is not inferior when properly played. Patience and endgame knowledge is required! The Caro-Kann is a solid, trusted defense for many Black defenders at all levels of play. It is an improvement over the immediate 1...d5 Center Counter/Scandinavian defense.

Black must Must MUST know the common opening traps that lurk or s/he will be crushed out of the gates -- but this is true of any defense. If the Black defender knows what's up, the C-K is a safe, sound, generally slow but solid defense that has been played by the world's best. Overall, there's less C-K opening lines to learn compared to other defenses. If the Caro-Kann defender is patient and accurate, White can become frustrated with the lack of targets to overwhelm and the slow pace of play.

It appears this collection will emphasize White victories disproportionally. The same trapping themes are over represented here because they keep popping up over and over, generation after generation in part because knight maneuvers can really fool an unsuspecting defender, and Black cannot afford to make a weakening pawn move while lagging in development. If Black does his homework and stays alert, there's no reason to get snared and a fair or better defensive game is the result.

Black defenders must understand why White won. The Caro-Kann is definitely a defense of accumulated understanding. Learn from the mistakes of others because life is too short to repeat them all yourself!

On the other hand, the most popular defense, the Sicilian defense 1.e4 c5, gives White a quick attack and space advantage through the center while Black must counterattack vigorously, usually on the queenside or diagonals. The speedy Sicilian is much more of a hazardous race to break through for both colors. Because the Sicilian is a double-edged sword with no time to spare, it requires much Much MUCH more study than the amiable Caro-Kann. The Sicilian is no better, no worse than the Caro-Kann, but very different.

Beware: As with any opening/defense, various move orders allow transpositions into different lines altogether, starting out as one and becoming another. The Caro-Kann often accommodates such transposals. Alternate ECO codes will indicate such changes.

And in victory,
You'd feel like a true chess prodigy!

The Kings of Chess: A History of Chess, Traced Through the Lives of Its Greatest Players by William Hartston William Hartson traces the development of the game from its Oriental origins to the present day through the lives of its greatest exponents - men like Howard Staunton, who transformed what had been a genteel pastime into a competitive science; the brilliant American Paul Morphy, who once played a dozen simultaneous games blindfold; the arrogant and certified insane Wilhelm Steinitz; the philosopher and mathematician Emanual Lasker; Bobby Fischer, perhaps the most brilliant and eccentric of them all; and many other highly gifted individuals. Hartson depicts all their colorful variety with a wealth of rare illustrations.

Responses from the mail servers were: "Sorry, your message to <her email address> cannot be delivered. This mailbox is disabled" and "Recipient address rejected: Access denied". Credits for Robert Bergersen aka <Tabanus>, include his picture, for his contribution to "Lithuanian chess history" project, you can find on page 45 of this project. He also mentioned on page 141 (with one more picture), pages 166, 1315, 1383-1386, 1823, 2807 and 3423.

This poem is dedicated to all Caissa's members who understand that chess is but a game.

Chess is but a Game

As he secretly rode his knight out of the castle's gate, still believing that he could escape this inevitable fate, the sky broke open with an array of incredible light. and there smitten to the earth lay nova under his knight. I am who I am and always am, spoke this thundering voice and you, my friend nova, do not at all have another choice but to go forth south and north, west and east
loudly proclaiming the good Word to man and beast. Thus beset by the compelling voice from the broken sky nova set about explaining through the word the how and why. He travelled north and south, west and east never losing aim to let all Caissa's members know: chess is but a game.

'Don't keep a dog and bark yourself'

'Don't cast your pearls before swine'

'Don't count your chickens before they are hatched'

chess writer and poet Henry Thomas Bland.

Another example of his way with words is the start of ‘Internal Fires', a poem published on page 57 of the March 1930 American Chess Bulletin:

I used to play chess with the dearest old chap,
Whom naught could upset whatever might hap.
He'd oft lose a game he might well have won
But made no excuse for what he had done.
If a piece he o'erlooked and got it snapped up He took it quite calmly and ne'er ‘cut up rough'.

"You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore." ― William Faulkner

"Sometimes in life, and in chess, you must take one step back to take two steps forward." — IM Levy Rozman, GothamChess

So much, much, much better to be an incurable optimist than deceitful and untrustworthy.

"It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things." ― Leonardo da Vinci

The Horse and the Wolf

A wolf, what time the thawing breeze
Renews the life of plants and trees,
And beasts go forth from winter lair
To seek abroad their various fare, –
A wolf, I say, about those days,
In sharp look-out for means and ways,
Espied a horse turned out to graze.
His joy the reader may opine.
"Once got," said he, "this game were fine;
But if a sheep, it were sooner mine.
I can't proceed my usual way;
Some trick must now be put in play."
This said,
He came with measured tread,
As if a healer of disease, –
Some pupil of Hippocrates, –
And told the horse, with learned verbs,
He knew the power of roots and herbs, –
Whatever grew about those borders, –
And not at all to flatter
Himself in such a matter,
Could cure of all disorders.
If he, Sir Horse, would not conceal
The symptoms of his case,
He, Doctor Wolf, would gratis heal;
For that to feed in such a place,
And run about untied,
Was proof itself of some disease,
As all the books decide.
"I have, good doctor, if you please,"
Replied the horse, "as I presume,
Beneath my foot, an aposthume."
"My son," replied the learned leech,
"That part, as all our authors teach,
Is strikingly susceptible
Of ills which make acceptable
What you may also have from me –
The aid of skillful surgery;
Which noble art, the fact is,
For horses of the blood I practise."
The fellow, with this talk sublime,
Watched for a snap the fitting time.
Meanwhile, suspicious of some trick,
The wary patient nearer draws,
And gives his doctor such a kick,
As makes a chowder of his jaws.
Exclaimed the wolf, in sorry plight,
"I own those heels have served me right.
I erred to quit my trade,
As I will not in future;
Me nature surely made
For nothing but a butcher."

Q: What's an egg's favorite vacation spot?
A: New Yolk City.

<Lasker's Secret Principle:

"He (Emanuel Lasker) told me that this principle of controlling as many squares as possible was his guide at every stage of the game.

He said "In the majority of cases it is probably best to have Knight and Bishop on squares of the same color, because then they control squares of opposite colors." ― Edward Lasker, Chess Secrets I Learned from the Masters>

Q: What kind of candy do astronauts like?
A: Mars bars.

Quentin Tarantino

A master craftsman
So gifted at his game
A physical transformer
Rarely looking the same
At the peak of his powers
Much warranted acclaim
Awards and the big money
He paid the price for his fame
From rebels to the sensitive
No limits to his range
He gives each role his all
Winning us over again and again
For over five decades now
Privileged to witness the best
The thespian king of kings
Mr Sean Penn - I am impressed

Riddle Question: What falls, but never needs a bandage?

The first stroller was engineered to be pulled by a goat (or animal of similar size) William Kent, a landscape architect, invented the first stroller for the third Duke of Devonshire in 1733. But upper-class parents were hardly expected to put effort into transporting their children around, so Kent designed his model to be pulled by a small animal, like a goat.

Riddle Answer: The rain.

Fortune and the Boy

Beside a well, uncurbed and deep,
A schoolboy laid him down to sleep:
(Such rogues can do so anywhere.)
If some kind man had seen him there,
He would have leaped as if distracted;
But Fortune much more wisely acted;
For, passing by, she softly waked the child,
Thus whispering in accents mild:
"I save your life, my little dear,
And beg you not to venture here
Again, for had you fallen in,
I should have had to bear the sin;
But I demand, in reason's name,
If for your rashness I'm to blame?"
With this the goddess went her way.
I like her logic, I must say.
There takes place nothing on this planet,
But Fortune ends, whoever began it.
In all adventures good or ill,
We look to her to foot the bill.
Has one a stupid, empty pate,
That serves him never till too late,
He clears himself by blaming Fate!

You can make a small fortune in farming-provided you start with a large one.

Riddle Question: If there are four sheep, two dogs and one herds-men, how many feet are there?

Agriculture: You Can't Live Without It! Does your soil have what it takes?

<The Man In The Glass
Peter Dale Wimbrow Sr.

When you get what you want in your struggle for self And the world makes you king for a day
Just go to the mirror and look at yourself
And see what that man has to say.

For it isn't your father, or mother, or wife
Whose judgment upon you must pass
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life Is the one staring back from the glass.

He's the fellow to please – never mind all the rest For he's with you, clear to the end
And you've passed your most difficult, dangerous test If the man in the glass is your friend.

You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years And get pats on the back as you pass
But your final reward will be heartache and tears If you've cheated the man in the glass.

This poem was first published in 1934 and is still very popular today.>

<Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day" Bombardment of Fort Fisher, near Wilmington, New York, 1865

The poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, in the middle of the Civil War, wrote this poem which has more recently been adapted as a modern Christmas classic. Longfellow wrote this on Christmas Day in 1863, after his son had enlisted in the Union's cause and had returned home, seriously wounded. The verses which he included and are still generally included, speak of the despair of hearing the promise of "peace on earth, goodwill to men" when the evidence of the world is clearly that war still exists.

And in despair I bowed my head;
"There is no peace on earth," I said;
"For hate is strong,
And mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!"
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
The Wrong shall fail,
The Right prevail,
With peace on earth, good-will to men."

The original also included several verses referring specifically to the Civil War. Before that cry of despair and answering cry of hope, and after verses describing the long years of hearing of "peace on earth, goodwill to men" (a phrase from the Jesus birth narratives in the Christian scriptures), Longfellow's poem includes, describing the black cannons of the war:

Then from each black, accursed mouth
The cannon thundered in the South,
And with the sound
The carols drowned
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
It was as if an earthquake rent
The hearth-stones of a continent,
And made forlorn
The households born
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!>

"Zeitnot" is German for "time pressure."

"....his countrymen, Kolisch and Steinitz, are greatly indebted for their later success to their having enjoyed early opportunities of practicing with the departed amateur whose death is also greatly deplored amongst all who knew him personally." — Wilhelm Steinitz, regarding Karl Hamppe

A Windsong by Ray Paquette (1984):

As you set sail for new horizons
May a brisk fair wind be with you
May your journey provide that mixture of
Joy, contentment, love and excitement
That gives rise to zestful anticipation
Of new adventures together.
May you cheerfully weather
the unavoidable storms together
And steer as clear of all obstacles
As the currents allow
May God Bless and keep you
Bon Voyage
