A brief thought on possibilities

    It would seem that within the grand history of chess, we all sit in a privileged place in history where we embody the great cliche that we stand on the backs of giants.  Numerous great players have been recorded and technological programs have proliferated a significant set of systems regarding play.  We sit here with all of this at our fingertips. Yet still, the ridiculous amount of possibilities as we maneuver through the opening game into the midgame touches on the nature of the infinite as we can best perceive it as humans.  I just wanted to say that I think that is an incredibly beautiful thing. Thanks for listening.
