chess or the celebration of mind it is not anymore only to gays, whores or shy people but it is become a religion as it is called to other cultures 'pashka' or 'kurba' and if you feel a scientist or a new thing to this art you will fail!

What in the world are you talking about?

I think he's calling pashak a shy gay whore who tried to feel up a scientist with his thing but failed.  Quite odd especially since the insult was entirely unprovoked.

Very odd. What ever happened to Pashak anyway? Haven't seen him post in a while. 

 

He's a chicken farmer in New Hampshire. Doin' pretty good too.

Chess is yesterday, today, and tomorrow. It is the beginning and the end. It is the Alpha and Omega. 

Chess just is.

Recently I had been having the same thoughts. I had made up my mind - I was going to stop posting for a bit. I really was. I'd had enough. I hovered my mouse over the logout button but before I did I thought I would do a quick forum search. I am glad I did as I discovered the Intellectual Chessist Society. This is a god send for chess lovers. Somewhere I can discuss chess without caring what anyone thinks. Thank you Vladimir. God bless.

I'm glad to hear that I had such a positive impact on your life. My Chessology has always been that we should be open to all members. No matter what creed, race, or sex. Good luck with your Chessing bisod, the Intellectual Chessists Society's doors are always open.

They understand how much I love the game of Chess. Furthermore due to my curiosity, and yearn for intellectual Chess discussion I've become known as a student of the game around here. Serious members know when I have posted a thread that's it's time to put their Chess caps on because it's time for a riveting Chess debate.
