I suppose no one really understands what AWARDCHESS is all about.  He/she is a troll.  A friendly troll, but a troll nonetheless.  Just looking to stir up a little fun.  Pretty boring.

Its like your Mama told you; ignore him and he will go away. 

 

If you can't ignore him, then its your problem not his.


DocBerko, do you even understand what you typed?  or can you not read?  "Ignore him and he will go away"  By posting you are obviously not ignoring him.  Lawl at you.  Anyway keep up the threads awardchess.  They are very amusing :)

awardchess' point is to get fame in the world..even if you report him he'll become more famous  just by doing it.. i guess he found another way to be famous at chess :)

so i guess we should respect his freedom of speech. if you don't like and complain about his posts so why do you read them? he doesn't bother anybody.  I personaly don't read his posts unless I find something that interests me.


 How do you know if they interest you without reading them??

There is a debate underway in our Chess Discussion Forum on the question of whether chess is a sport. The “is chess a sport” thread has split into two opposing schools, “Chess IS a Sport” and “Chess is NOT a sport!!!”  (Such an emotionally charged issue understandably inspires CAPS and !!!)

There was a time (still in living memory) and a place (not so distant now) when the status of chess as a sport was never in question. In those days, the great debate was about whether chess is an Art or a Science.

The great Genevan (and I don’t mean Jean-Jacques Rousseau), but the man whose system in the Classical Dutch is known as the “Ilyin-Zhenevsky”, considered that chess tactics and strategy should be integrated into military training. Ilyin also considered chess to be a sound basis of any curriculum for teaching science and rational philosophy.

Another great systematizer, World Chess Champion Mikhail Botvinnik, considerd chess to be a Science and Science itself to be an Art. He said, “If acoustics was a science that informed the world about sounds, then music was an art that revealed the beauty of that art; if logic was a science that revealed the laws of thought, then chess, in the form of artistic images, was an art that illuminated the logical side of thought." And Botvinnik the scientist set to work designing an “electronic grandmaster.”

Even those who would not agree with Botvinnik’s statement that “logic is the law of thought” would not dispute the usefulness of logic as tool of scientific investigation. Just so, Botvinnik did not have a problem in seeing chess as a sublimely harmonious combination of Art and Science.

But what chess player can utter the word “combination” without recalling memory of the undefeated World Chess Champion Alexander Alekhine! He was more inclined to think of chess as Art. Here is what the great Alekhine said in observation of the behavior of chess players:

“I believe that the following three factors are necessary for success: firstly, an awareness of one’s strength and weaknesses; secondly an exact understanding of the opponent’s strength and limitations; and thirdly, an aim which is higher than just a minute’s satisfaction. This aim I see in scientific and artistic achievements, which places chess among the other arts.”

Weren’t our grandmasters older and somewhat wiser than we? Botvinnik saw chess through scientific eyes but did not deny its artistic qualities. And Alekhine the master creator of beautiful combinations saw chess with the eye of an artist, but did not deny that Science was also in its element on the chessboard.

Our great grandfathers did not debate whether chess is “science” OR “art”. They understood chess to be both science AND art. In those days of old when knights and grandmasters were bold, the question of “chess is sport” or “chess is NOT sport” never arose because they were incapable of imagining “no-thingness” as an empty quality of chess -- for them it was never nothing -- nothing but a Game. Chess was their all, and as you know, all can never be nothing.

And so, ladies and gentlemen of the 64 squares, I ask you: what is to be done with us, we happy few? Who and what do you think we are? Do you think we are clowns?

My computer is not seeing their Russian font. Any way, I do not speak Russian. I once took some lessons to learn Russian. My teacher had a very thick accent, and whenever I asked him to repeat what he had said, he would scream at me, "How do you expect to learn Russian when you cannot even speak English!"

Microsoft Office can recognize the Russian language, as well as Canadian, among others...

Fisher  dropped the  School, as a useless, but study the Russian by own, just to read and think, what his competitors doing?

Russian for Chess Players by Hanon Russell

Book Description
Nearly 30 years have passed since the introduction of Hanon Russell's "A Chessplayer's Guide to Russian." In print again with a revised and expanded format, this edition has twice as much vocabulary in the dictionary, is completely typeset in Cyrillic and English, and for the first time, a pronunciation guide of all the popular Russian chess players is included. Now you can be sure of yourself before getting caught in a tongue twister or putting the accent in the wrong place.

The Soviet Union has consistently produced the strongest chess grandmasters in the world. After working through this guide you will be better able to read the extensive Russian chess literature which exists in books and magazines today.

About the Author
Mr. Russell has been translating Russian chess literature for four decades, has a master's rating, collects chess memorabilia, and practiced law in Connecticut. He also wrote "Correspondence Chess," published by Thinkers' Press.

After 30 years still selling like home-made blini with sour cream, chopped onion, and Russian pickled cucumber with honey!
