HOW DID HE DO ALL THIS?

It is amazing how Petrosian found all these moves without the aid of a computer programme? Here is an interesting video from Kingcrusher.
Seen it on Chess Club Live earlier.

SEE HOW EASY IT IS?

At the moment it is being speculated that McGuigan and Carl have taken the "government" for about £250,000.

I wonder how much Peter is prepared to give to a "Chess club?"
Proverbs 27:22 Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him.

TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE?

Am I the only one who suspects that "cheating" at the highest levels of chess is much more widespread than people are willing to publicly admit?

I do remember reading one of Rogoff`s articles lately, where he implied quite a high level of cheating was indicated in the German league chess, according to the parameters which Rogoff has constructed.

Is Fabiano Caruana just too good to be true?

Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

A LOST OPPORTUNITY

I see local MSM are now starting to make inquiries about just how much money "Local government" has put into Carl Frampton`s title fight project.

Like I revealed here a few weeks ago, the whole idea of staging the fight down in the Titanic Quarter was Peter Punt`s idea.

He is willing to shell out large sums of money just to be associated with any big, spectacular, successful venture of ANY KIND.

Local chess missed a big opportunity for mega funding when it failed to establish a new World Chess Organistion.

There is lots of free property available down in the Titanic Quarter for office space as well!

It could have been called Titanic Chess Federation.

Down with FIDE
Down with Kirsan

Psalm 2:1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

CLASSIC CHESS QUOTE

Just saw what must be one of the classic chess quotes of all time by Maurice Ashley.
"Yes, chess is cerebral, but it can also make you rich.”

So, how many people will be made rich by playing chess over the next 5 years?

How many people have ever left Las Vegas having been made rich?

Las Vegas was set up by rather nasty people with the intention of  fleecing the gullible.

Proverbs 13:11 Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished : but he that gathereth by labour shall increase .

GREAT, MUST BUY THIS

I have been waiting for this to come out.  Must buy it soon.  It is interesting the way the word "Wicked" is used in modern language.

Already have a very good book on this by Cyrus Lakdawala. He is a very amusing writer.

1 Samuel 12:25 But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be consumed, both ye and your king.
