Waterloo

Sort:
IvanKosintsev

All stories in Japan have a sequel and you can play Waterloo using standard Shogi equipment maded in Tokyo (classical pieces and Chu 12x12 board).

If, of course, you have many money for it and haven't any money for IT.happy.png

Ha! Now I understand why you do not like the game of Waterloo. Now I understand why your dinosaurs hate this souvenir from Europe. And the philosopher Erich Fromm helped me in this. This game give you a great conscious choice, more choice than any other game. But you do not like to choose, and your computer can not make such a choice. Cogito ergo sum! But you do not exist as chess players. There is only Sartre. Can you imagine as denosaurs sing the song "To be or not to be?"

Don't blame all this nonsense on Erich Fromm.

IvanKosintsev

"There ain't nothing I can do
Or nothing I can say
That folks don't criticize me
But I'm going to do
Just as I want to anyway
And don't care just what people say
If I should take a notion
To jump into the ocean
Ain't nobody's business if I do ..."

One's "nonsense" is another's thought-provoking insight. We simply let the person choose how he/she will benefit from it.

 

I'm sure Fromm would understand.

Sometimes a person's nonsense is just nonsense. If someone thinks gibberish is genius, there may be a problem with that person.

IvanKosintsev

Nonsence is a key brick in English culture. I wonder in the summertime, what Joanne is thinking about this? If you don't like nonsence, then you're a bad player! I know that american Samuel Loyd is a good player!

"Sometimes a person's nonsense is just nonsense."

Very good, but I simply don't regard IvanKosintsev that way; neither his thoughts, philosophy nor invented chess game. I'm also sure that a good many people don't, either.

 

"If someone thinks gibberish is genius, there may be a problem with that person."

Come now. I obviously don't know you in person, but I do feel that you're smarter than that; smart enough to know that there are different kinds of intelligences.

Dear Mr. D_Clarke!
I am happy that a chess player of the United Kingdom, the native land of William Shakespeare, Walter Scott and Charles Dickens, is interested in my experiments with various chess variants. You can choose any, and we can play it on this forum. Your desire and wit is all that we need. But I recommend you Waterloo as simple and more advanced one with the long history of the discussion.
I am ready to hear your opinion.
Good Luck!

I don't like violence, D_Clarke. I'm an inventor; blood is a big expense.

If you know the chess notation, you can move. Everything else is my business.
