29 B.O. IV
Compiled by Littlejohn

Episode IV, A NEW HOPE

It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire. During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire's ultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet. Pursued by the Empire's sinister agents, Princess Leia races home aboard her starship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her people and restore freedom to the galaxy….

"Whatever you are doing in the game of life, give it all you've got." — Norman Vincent Peale

"Remember you have to be comfortable. Golf is not a life or death situation. It's just a game and should be treated as such. Stay loose." — Chi Chi Rodriguez

"Life is a game, play it ... Life is too precious, do not destroy it." — Mother Teresa

"Part of playing the game of life is you're going to have some losses." — Joe Gibbs

"Football is an honest game. It's true to life. It's a game about sharing. Football is a team game. So is life." — Joe Namath

"The entire ball game, in terms of both the exam and life, was what you gave attention to vs. what you willed yourself to not." — David Foster Wallace

"For me, Chess is life and every game is like a new life. Every chess player gets to live many lives in one lifetime." — Eduard Gufeld

Sometime rhetoric was just
another way to lie and impress persons,
and he knew this — Haidji

No, this isn't about Barry Soetoro's alter ego. It is about kings and pawns. Of course, Barry is no king regardless of his 400-person travel caravan, but he did sleep in a Holiday Inn and bowed down to one.

Thank you MKD. This is a Fredthebear collection split. Most of the Sicilians were reassigned to make room.

Colorado: San Luis
Established in: 1851

San Luis has a predominately Hispanic population of less than 700 people, and so the town features a very strong Spanish influence. It was once part of four Spanish land grants decreed by the King of Spain, and a classic adobe architecture and Spanish town layout remain.

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.

"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

The Use Of Knowledge

Between two citizens
A controversy grew.
The one was poor, but much he knew:
The other, rich, with little sense,
Claimed that, in point of excellence,
The merely wise should bow the knee
To all such moneyed men as he.
The merely fools, he should have said;
For why should wealth hold up its head,
When merit from its side has fled?
"My friend," said Bloated-purse,
To his reverse,
"You think yourself considerable.
Pray, tell me, do you keep a table?
What comes of this incessant reading,
In point of lodging, clothing, feeding?
It gives one, true, the highest chamber,
One coat for June and for December,
His shadow for his sole attendant,
And hunger always in the ascendant.
What profits he his country, too,
Who scarcely ever spends a sou –
Will, haply, be a public charge?
Who profits more the state at large,
Than he whose luxuries dispense
Among the people wealth immense?
We set the streams of life a-flowing;
We set all sorts of trades a-going.
The spinner, weaver, sewer, vender,
And many a wearer, fair and tender,
All live and flourish on the spender –
As do, indeed, the reverend rooks
Who waste their time in making books."
These words, so full of impudence,
Received their proper recompense.
The man of letters held his peace,
Though much he might have said with ease.
A war avenged him soon and well;
In it their common city fell.
Both fled abroad; the ignorant,
By fortune thus brought down to want,
Was treated everywhere with scorn,
And roamed about, a wretch forlorn;
Whereas the scholar, everywhere,
Was nourished by the public care.

Let fools the studious despise;
There's nothing lost by being wise.

You might have heard the saying,
"At the end of the game, the King and the Pawn go in the same box." but depending on the moves you make, one of them is ultimately the winner. One of them stays on the board longer, does more for his team. Let's extend that phrase.
"At the end of the game, the King and the Pawn go in the same box. But the game is decided by the moves they make." I assume everyone understands Chess, but for those who don't, That's okay, too. I'll explain one more thing about it. The Pawn can only move in one direction.
The King can move wherever he wants.
This remains true unless the Pawn decides to go on the offensive To take life by his own hands
A variety of options open up to him
Whereas then, the King is limited by his options. He sees nothing new, and can merely advance or
Retreat
In the same directions he always has.
And he very well may retreat, because when he falls, it's all over. The Pawn, though? The Pawn can never retreat. He can only move forward And if he makes it to the other side,
He becomes a Queen. The most prominent, powerful piece, It goes in the same box but it can determine the outcome of the entire game. A single piece can determine if, and how any other piece will fall. This is true of the Queen, of the King, of the Pawn. This is true of the Knights and the Bishops and the Rooks and every single piece, and so with every thing equally significant, let's strip away the titles and just look at our actions, because it isn't our title that defines us. It's how we play the game.
Sometimes that means we have all the power.
Sometimes that means we have none.
Sometimes we are alone.
Sometimes we are together.
But at the end of the day, we all go in the same box.

In the game of life, what we call ourselves really doesn't matter.

"Those who approach life like a child playing a game, moving and pushing pieces, possess the power of kings." — Heraclitus

"Every man needs a women, when his life in a trouble. Just like a game of chess, queen protect the king." — Anuj Kr. Thakur

"He needed fresh air and sunshine. A walk in the woods and afterward a good book to read by the fire. Yeah, that was the life." — Josh Lanyon

"The great thing about reading is that it broadens your life." — George R R Martin

The Chess Play
by Nicholas Breton
A Secret many yeeres vnseene,
In play at Chesse, who knowes the game
First of the King, and then the Queene,
Knight, Bishop, Rooke, and so by name.
Of euerie Pawne I will descrie
The nature with the qualitie.

The King.

The King himselfe is haughtie Care
Which ouerlooketh all his men
And when he seeth how they fare.
He steps among them now and then,
Whom when his foe presumes to checke
His seruants stand, to giue the necke.

The Queene.

The Queene is queint, and quicke Conceit,
Which makes hir walke which way she list
And rootes them vp, that lie in wait
To worke hir treason, ere she wist:
Hir force is such, against hir foes,
That whom she meetes, she ouerthrowes.

The Knight.

The Knight is knowledge how to fight
Against his Princes enimies,
He neuer makes his walke outright,
But leaps and skips, in wilie wise.
To take by sleight a traitrous foe,
Might slilie seeke their ouerthrowe.

The Bishop.

The Bishop he is wittie braine,
That chooseth Crossest pathes to pace.
And euermore he pries with paine,
To see who seekes him most disgrace:
Such straglers when he findes astraie,
He takes them vp, and throwes awaie.

The Rookes

The Rookes are reason on both sides,
Which keepe the corner houses still.
And warily stand to watch their tides.
By secret art to worke their will,
To take sometime a theefe vnseene,
Might mischiefe meane to King or Queene.

The Paiones.

The Pawne before the King, is peace
Which he desires to keepe at home,
Practise the Queenes, which doth not cease
Amid the world abroad to roame.
To finde, and fall vpon each foe,
Whereas his mistres meanes to goe.

Before the Knight, is perill plast,
Which he, by skipping ouergoes,
And yet that Pawne can worke a cast
To ouerthrow his greatest foes;
The Bishops, prudence; prieng still,
Which way to worke his masters will.

The Rookes poore Pawnes, are sillie swaines,
Which seeidome serue, except by hap,
And yet those Pawnes, can lay their traines.
To catch a great man, in a trap:
So that I see, sometime a groome
May not be sparèd from his roome.

The Nature of the Chesse men.

The King is stately, looking hie:
The Queene doth beare like maiestie:
The Knight is hardie, valiant, wise:
The Bishop, prudent and precise:
The Rookes, no raungers out of raie
The Pawnes, the pages in the plaie.

Lenvoy.

Then rule with care, and quicke conceit,
And fight with knowledge, as with force;
So beare a braine, to dash deceit,
And worke with reason and remorse:
Forgiue a fault when yoong men plaie
So giue a mate and go your way
And when you plaie beware of Checke
Know how to saue and giue a necke:
And with a Checke, beware of Mate;
But cheefe, ware had I wist too late:
Loose not the Queene, for ten to one.
If she be lost, the game is gone.
