Hello Everyone... I'm Mani and I have been playing chess for the past 4-5 years and I've had many succeses in my chess career. Couple of my statistics: Periasamymanjula, Manibharathi(ENG)  World Rank: 93460 All players      World Rank: 53043 Active players only      National Rank: 611      National Male Rank: 585 A fantastic story demonstrating how interesting Chess really is: Quiet please! On a cold day in december 1945 two chessplayers were sitting in a coffehouse in Berlin playing each other and were deeply immersed in the calculations of various chess variations pertaining to their positions.The Allied Forces were bombing the city heavily and suddenly there was a terrible big noise outside right in front of the coffeehouse. Something must have been hit and blasted away."Bloody noisy outside today!", murmured one of them deep in thought. "Shut up, damned!"After about ten minutes the other one said: "It's very cold in here! Why, for christ's sake, can't they turn up the damned heating?" After the game was finished they went in direction door. The room seemed to be somehow bigger as usual. "Hey, there is something wrong here, don't you think? I can't find the door." It was already late at night and dark and they went further and suddenly they were standing on the road. They had a look around and were amazed to see, that the forefront of the coffeehouse was completely missing and that a lot of houses were completely destroyed.
