My apologies for any confusion my original post may have caused, and many thanks to our forum moderation colleagues.

To clarify, my proposal is for MORE random general chess-related posts; especially for ones related to scientific and/or metaphysical chess-related phenomena... an invitation I hold open for all of my esteemed colleagues on chess.com...

Does "metaphysical chess-related phenomenon" have anything to do with three pints of beer?

Ha, yes, I think we could include the euphoria-inducing, almost spiritually profound, combination of beer, chess and other factors in that category, but I'm sure there are many other worthy topics other than "Siduri's kiss"

How about gin-tonic induced transcendence? With fresh lime, of courseWink

Do any of these fit your criterion for random chess-related posts?

How about "Chess imitates life or Life imitates chess"?

I wish life imitated chess--chess is much easier.

I posted about chess and chakras but it was immediately sent to the off-topic section. There's a whole world of ideas waiting out there. Some of them could be helpful for our chess research. Other's might not be helpful at all.

matter of fact you could go through every word in the dictionary to see if it applies usefully to chess or not.

 

aardvark - no

advance - yes

etc etc

So, let me get this straight, you want to propose to chess.com?

Ouch.

It wouldn't hurt as much if it was not plausible...
