I'm trying to be a bit of an artist, so just thought it would be a good idea to have a forum where ICS members could post up any chess related art they've done. This is something I did recently about Game 21 in the final between Fischer & Spassky in 1972. Fischer played black (gold pieces).

Who here is registering for the online World Mind Games tournament series on chess.com? I am. I also registered for an account on the World Mind Games website. I'll probably never make it to the second round, but I am still excited.

no social economic movment can set sail upon the waters of human history and reach port without being struck by the "iceberg of the four great truths". the ship will sink to a certainty for this iceberg cannot be defeated or avoided. for a short period of time, one generation, and generally at the point of a gun, the captain of the ship moves across the sea with the iceberg in sight and fires at it in the hope that thru force he can sink the iceberg...but he will fail and his new titantic movement will go down. these four immutable truths are: 1. man wishes to live. 2. a man wishes to improve his own personal condition. 3. a man may give his life so that he chooses to let someone he cares about to live. 4. a man may sacrifice his own personal condition to improve the personal condition of someone he cares about.

the right to vote should be limited to those at age thirty. a very difficult and purposefull place to be...for the republic would be preserved. it is hard to achieve. ...but then, was i correct in establishing the question ? ...i point out the lack of education among the young... ...it is my idea that only those who own land under forty acres and who have served (presently or past, their wives and adult children over the age of thirty ) should be allowed to vote. ..so i say,so may you say all ?

i give unasked for advice. prohibit political discussion that touches on any political figure alive. to speak well or poorly of the dead is enough. i have a question for which i would very much like an answer. it is a hard question why was it that when theodore roosevelt was buried that women were forbidden to attend the burial ? he was buried at his home ( i believe what follows is a poor spelling ) at "sagamore" in new york. __________________________________________________ i suspect a cognoscente that history has not yet discovered. who were the men at the grave ? where did they meet "socially" before they were invited to this men only private internment ? ____________________________________________________ god forbid ? mein gott ? that you should think that i was a frau deadrabbit. i am not. my agenda is discovery and not some simple "feminist agenda". ...women were made for breeding ( or did i err in understanding darwin's observation ? ).

whom ever was the person who was kind enough to ask me to belong to your group i say "thank you". i fear i will not be long here on this site if i speak freely on the general public forum. if am able to stay here in spite of my speech then i no longer need to express myself on the general forum. what are the limits at this place ? i am a very conservative person in language but not conservative in agenda. i feel very mormon though i am not a baptized mormon. i dislike war but i dislike chaos even more. i believe in order for the undisciplined peoples of the world and freedom for the discilplined ( to many one may see a "racist comment" but i only see it as a post-colonial truth ). drop me now if you think i do not belong. no hard feelings for... i do not know the general room on this site for speech. perhaps i will not last long here either. a dim candle am i, but in my small place it lights the books of my room. if i disappear for my views then i pass with the wind of men better than i and who have suffered more than i or thought better thoughts than i for the same purpose. i remember the burning woman in fahrenheit 451 who died in her books more than i try to remember the end of that movie.] let ukraine be free.
