KARAOKE AND CHESS

After the prize giving at the Isle Of Man tournament, a number of well-known Chess players and commentators, descended upon an entertainment centre in Douglas where there is a Karaoke night.

It was the first time I have ever seen a "Karaoke night" in real life. 
I do not generally go into bars and I definitely do  not drink alcohol.

Here is some of the music performed while I was there.

This was performed.

This was not performed.

At one time I thought this was going to be performed.

This was definitely not performed while I was there and I am sure it was not performed when I left either.

Proverbs 20:1 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.

MESSED UP OPPORTUNITY OF NICE VIDEO

Yesterday I noticed Tania Sachdev and Elizabeth Paethz where on boards beside each other. 

I thought it would be a good idea to get a nice video clip of them shaking hands with their opponents and making their first moves.

All went well until I messed the video up!

When Tania Sachdev shook hands with her opponent, I tried to zoom the video in and the camera seemed to seize up.

The good part of the video is below.

The part I messed up is below.

Other videos from yesterday. Caught a vintage Classic car on my way to the Electric train terminus.


Short clip of the E.Paethz Versus H. Yifan game from late afternoon.

GIBRALTAR, CHESS AND ACCOMMODATION

A number of years ago, the Caleta Hotel ripped me off for a full week`s accommodation, they charged me for two weeks when I had only stayed one week!

They may think I have forgotten about the matter but I have  not!

This is where I stayed in Gibraltar last year. The yacht HI JINX.

Which is  the best version? Ali Campbell or Jimmy Cliff?

Had some video clips which I took from the deck of the Hi Jinx, also had some which show the interior of the yacht but I must have accidently deleted them.

The Queen`s marina is beautiful but it is quite a walk from it to the Caleta Hotel.

Genesis 49:13
Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he shall be for an haven of ships; and his border shall be unto Zidon.

HELP FOR HEROES

Discovered a brilliant shop named "Cotton Traders" in Douglas shopping precinct.  It provides a good selection of clothing from the "Help For Heroes" organisation, plus a very good selection of nice clothing for men and women.

This morning I bought a very nice cap, it reminds me of "Cap McKenna" lol

To the best of my knowledge there are no "Cotton Trader" shops in the whole of N.Ireland, which is quite a shame.

It is a clothing chain which I am sure would be popular on the Shankill and Newtownards Roads.

Managed to get a video of the shop from the outside and inside.

Had to combine it with "Paint It Black" by the "Rolling Stones" but I am sure they will not mind as it is all for a good cause.

Here is a novel I am currently in the process of writing for the benefit of "Help For Heroes."

Revelation 6:5
And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

FULL GAME LINKED TO THE MOVE 17.Qe3 ARTICLE

Below is the full game linked to the earlier  MOVE 17.Qe3.... NOW IT IS BLACK TO MOVE article.

It is provided with Fritz analysis.


During the game I had reached the stage of complete tiredness that I could not even imagine 17...d4

It was beyond my comprehension. All I could see was the obvious 17...Bxd3 after which Fritz gradually outplayed me until I resigned.

Trying to play Chess while tired is not a good idea!

LACK OF FUNDING FOR GLAMOROUS WOMEN

Have noticed a few articles about the proposed women`s tournament in Iran. 
All the articles I have read, have pointed out that it is hard to get funding for "Women`s Chess."

There must be something worse than normal, wrong with FIDE if this is the case.

Here is the simple reason why. Lots of glamorous young women play Chess nowadays and in any other walk of life, getting funding for glamorous women is never a problem?

As a matter of fact, almost any product you can think of is advertised by glamorous women in an effort to sell such products!

Imagine what would happen if all the female chess players said, "We are boycotting ALL Chess tournaments until we get adequate funding for "Women`s Chess" ???????

Maybe the real reason why FIDE cannot get funding for "Women`s Chess" is due to the fact FIDE is run by a collection of SODOMITES???

Sort of like a Chess version of The KINCORA scandal?

I don`t think IDF WOMEN`S FACEBOOK PAGE would have any trouble getting funding if they needed it, do you?
