I came here to discover things of interest, something profound. Profundities aside, does anything spoken every truly transcend the uncanny nature of repetition? Is there anything new or is everything simply a retelling of an old and faithful sta...
so i live in south carolina now. It's not bad, but I miss the super cold weather, and NYC (only cause it's like the greatest city ever). I think I might start playing again, but nothing serious. There are simply not enough hours during the da...
i have returned. unto a limited capacity i devote myself. chess no longer satisfies. i apologize to those whom i owed service to. i express my condolences to those who have worried during my abscence. eventually, sociality does govern any as...
I had a dream the other night. I was part of a system, an institution. In this facility we were constantly tested. Those who tested well were put into accelerated programs. The normal tests were done in rooms lit with gold lighting. The advan...
ever notice how in english the words 'now' and 'know' have a special relationship? and is comparing the how the two are spoken literally a primer for the pronunciation of the silent 'k' in american english? or simply a dialectic subtext?
In my lifetime i've played guitar (self-taught) for 12 years, piano for 22 years on and off, and dabbled in every other instrument i can get my hands on, but my 3 favorite guitarists are... in this order Django Reinhardt, James Hendrix (Paratroop...
Hello my name is Catherine, and i'm a chessaholic. i know the consequences of playing too much chess, but never dreamed that motion-sickness could be one of them. Although i will admit that this may be the most fun way to be sick that i've ever ...

it's the early morning oranges that seem a little pink. An ochre kinda pumpkin crowning bluish-gray sort of wink. an immediate source of windblown tumblewed stationary phallangecal waverings skyward, stretching into dawns newly revealed underca...
Hey people, I'd just like to give a shout out to republican senators Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins (the senators from Maine, my home state, the first state to every have two female senators), for crossing party lines on the presidentially propo...

on a pretty regular basis, i will be involved in a game. after submitting my move, i click the green button, as per usual. suddenly i return to the same screen, move unsubmitted. no problem whatsoever; i simply resubmit. i do this 3-7 tim...
I own the 10th edition chessmaster (among others) where josh waitzkin is prominently featured and many grandmasters are available for light perusal. I notice that my rating on chess.com is significantly higher (100-150 pts). Even when i factor i...
so, i'm not positive, but i'm guessing that the stuff that i post in groups is not available to any old soul perusing my homepage. so apparently i've written some good stuff in the poets and writers group. i think that you have to join to read i...

I've recently been thumbing through the posts of the more masterful players on this site. There has been a common thread: insecurity concerning cheaters! To specifically define cheater: one who uses a programmed synthetic proxy in order to crea...
So lately i've noticed a phenomenon in my sleep processes. It used to be, for the most part, that when coming out of a dream and bridging into consciousness that i would first feel my cognizance as attracted to the earth, slowly followed by the s...
the rook is a cross the bishop is an x the queen is a starburst combination of the two the three expand into infinity, harnessed with 8 x 8 the king is a box the knight is a four sided octagon the pawn is a forward line with a potential hype...
I was wondering. How many people on this website view each game as a contest, and how many people view each game as an exercise? Is a contestant more careful than an exercist (lol, if it's not a word... it is now)? Are contestants more exalted ...
I've spent the past two weeks of my life doing several things. The dominant feature of this process has been the movie "Sunshine". I am ultimately fascinated by the cosmic relations that take place ridiculously far away above our heads everyday....
