They are not really trying to work me to death at my school. If anything, every day there becomes more pleasant because I'm starting to get to know the students.> Speaking for myself, I am glad you are getting settled into your school,

I remember from several times, the first few weeks of being integrated into the newest system of activity I encountered does take much time,

<Can you get her to post some of her games?> It might take a bit more, her time is spent in great amounts as well as my own, hopes gathers,

<I was combing through the hundreds of Russian chess history books I have, which is difficult because most of the titles are in Cyrillic letters which I can't read.> placecards could help much, various common or needed words that You are searching for or encounter and placed on 3x5 cards <do they still exist?>

If you encounter something often enough, the icons should make you tremble less and provide more a form of guidance as you would know from seeing a repetition of such icons or cyrillic, whichever is the one you are currently enduring,

From the past I 'think' you exaggerate some to the current troubled shock from encountering the current language you are researching for chess history,

For myself, this is 2013, I have been studying English for the past 'many whiles' lol It does take some time, and continual activity within the current language you wander about,

I think you are fortunate for the time you have taken to <icon by icon upload to translator, words> that would serve you well in your continual search,

If in the future you ever need access to some Russian language cards you can dl or copy/paste, let us know, even after a decade some things help remind us that the languages we encounter, are not our own, and therefore alien,

The thing is though, it's just one project- me learning more and more chess history.

Only the last three videos I made, the ones with narration, are the only three I actually care about- and they have mistakes in them.

I'm not going to upload another with mistakes if I can help it.

Anyways this WCC project kills a lot of birds with one stone. The finished drafts are just a tiny part of the finished research for each event. The mirrors I make are full of much more primary data than will ever see the light of day in an intro, or in a video for that matter.

But it's better to know more than you need than to know less than you need.

At any rate, I'm not too worried. We will at least finish one <1> draft and then hand the html to Daniel. When he makes that a real page in the WCC series, then one intro will be finished.

Then we'll see how many more we can get converted into real WCC pages.

It's too difficult to learn, so your progress in quite amazing. Also you guys can read and speak Russian as well?

Thanks for your advice on Russian. But paper index cards aren't going to help because all of my Russian books are digital, not paper.

I suppose I use microsoft word files as "index cards."

I have a great deal of those squirreled away in gigantic chess history folders, arranged by category and so on.

Incidentally I have chosen English as my <her, herself? sorry for confusion> language, 4 others selected English as well,

7 and a half years later with continual contact after our fourth year,

Timmie!

I'm sure Larry would welcome photos and EMU.

Did you know that in his neighborhood they call him <L-Dawg>?

I never heard of <Joe Bonemass> before or <Warren Hay>- the bass line fills up the whole room eh?

It's stunning. What is the story on Joe Bonamassa?

Who did he play with before?

I'd rather hear the history from you than online.

<Joe Bonamassa>

Here's an old interview clip I found of him when he was just 13 years old!

Not very sure how the harps could be used better for this type of song,
