The dangersof chess

...and has been discussed in multiple threads here already...

yes i know

So why start a new thread versus participating in the already established ones? SMH...

i rarely post topics or threads--when i do, they are actually for my own use; they are hints for me to use later in my writing.

for those of you who haven't read it, I am sharing the link to a good translation of Premchand's classic story, Shatranj ke Khilari, in which two nawabs ignore the downfall of the kingdom, and finally kill each other, playing chess--

Sorry, the page you were looking for in this blog does not exist...

okay--go to the blog ghai-tc.blogspot.in

then go to the archives of 2013 July--the story is there. I would like to post it here and will if I get the translator's permission. It was a great movie too.
