sometimes i think i play life better than i play chess like the time that insane driver gave me the finger no deed goes undone, and his came oh so quickly i see your pain i see your horror you wish to share with an uncaring world i have lived your pain i know more than i have told you until now i saw my father image smash my mother into the old ringer washer smashing the lower vertebrae smashing all her hopes in life smashing all her dreams of a sane world smashing them into insanity never ending smashing my childhood into a pool of poverty smashing my love for life smashing my life too smashing my, smashing her, smashing all my hope of that he would be my father beating me with his drunken anger she came to save me… like an angel… she paid the price for evermore pain, guilt, suffering, starvation, blame, sin on and on it came, it goes, it went… that is the passed now now is time for wisdom infinity, two, one, zero like the chess player every move sees a lifetime ahead every word has two or more meanings every friend has one or more paths every sorry need not be said i know you my friend

I've never read a poem that relates things to chess. This was very interesting, thanks for sharing.
~BTW I like to play chess, do you? If so can we play each other like on yahoo or something. Send me a msg if you want to play.

I haven't played on the net but once or twice so I don't really know what an 'A' class means, or even if it has anything to do with the net. I would assume that means you're good at it. I would like to play you sometime this summer or whenever though. I am pretty decent myself.

I would like to play you sometime this summer or whenever though. I am pretty decent myself. ok here is a quick test. 1. What is the lease amount of moves can each color mate the other in? two part answer A. white x times B. black x times 2. What game is know as "Fisher's Bust"? A. 3. What game is know as the the "fryed lever game"? 4. How was the End Game Master? A. Have fun!

There is a few different answers to the first, if there is a big mistake. If white moves his kings' knights' pawn up two and his kings' bishops' pawn up one or two, and on black's first move he moved out his Kings' pawn. Then on the next move (which would be black's b/c he has only had one move) Q-A4!! Two move mate. This can be reversed but it takes white three moves due to going first. If he sets up before the pawn is moved then black can't move the pawn due to checking his king. Then of course there is fool's mate. Where you open up with king pawn and do a cross fire(just don't feel like writing much, I'm sure you know what I mean) with your queen and bishop and take your opponents Kings' bishops' pawn. This is a four move check mate and can be done w/o your opponent making a stupid opening, but you can see it coming a mile away. You can also do it in five with your queen and knight. Either color is same # of moves.
I know this stuff from just playin and I don't know anything about all of them great chessmaster games. I have heard about some of them but never got into it much.
