One Game a Night

By the Grace of G-d

Greetings!

I am looking to play only one game a night. 5 0  5 0,
in the light of Baldassare Castiglione's The Book of the Courtier (1528, English 1561 by Sir Thomas Hoby).  Who writes that chess should not be a gentleman's main passion. Castiglione explains it further:

And what say you to the game at chestes? It is truely an honest kynde of enterteynmente and wittie, quoth Syr Friderick. But me think it hath a fault, whiche is, that a man may be to couning at it, for who ever will be excellent in the playe of chestes, I beleave he must beestowe much tyme about it, and applie it with so much study, that a man may assoone learne some noble scyence, or compase any other matter of importaunce, and yet in the ende in beestowing all that laboure, he knoweth no more but a game. Therfore in this I beleave there happeneth a very rare thing, namely, that the meane is more commendable, then the excellency.

I would like to play with real people with real names, chat, and maybe make a change in the world for the better.

Please send me a message so we can play and chat at around 11 pm New York time.

Thank you!

Sincerely,

Evan (Hershel) Moss

hahahah.  Really.

Of course, though, you got the point (Excuse me for insulting your intelligence),
that, in chess: "the meane is more commendable, then the excellency."

Timeless.
