Problems, Prose, Poems, and Butterflies

  • The Entire Globe! United States 
  • Formed: Mar 17, 2009
  • The idea for this group grew out of a love for the works of Vladimir Nabokov, a master prose stylist and poet who loved chess and creating chess problems. He was also noted lepidoterist (one who studies butterflies). His was a creative mind that could not be easily occupied with one thing. This group is for those who appreciate the beauty of life, of which chess is an important part. We're here to discuss anything even remotely related to the topic: Chess, literature, and anything interesting and beautiful.

  • I've read that last quote Zembla and all I can think is that myabe we shouldn't focus so much on this thinghs right now cause at some point we'll know for sure, right ? ;-)

  • Did you get that last quote I posted alpequeno? It was a nice hopeful one about life after death by Nabokov. I thought we needed it after some glum quotes.

  • All my interests are out law, lol

    by Diana_L 3 years ago

  • Amazing. I'll have to try to recruit some non-lawyers! But I do like that we all have interests outside law.

  • I should be a lawyer next Jun-July but I won't be practicing either :-)
