I love anything of this nature.
Mikhail, I'm glad that the funny puns brought some smiles!
i'm half convinced you two are the same poster having a convo with yourself. Freaks.
cheers
Doom Merchant, as far as I'm aware, I've never been cloned and I don't have a 2nd account in the name of Mikhail Chigorin! I would love to have superpowers that allowed me to live in 2 separate continents, at the same time! I sincerely wish I had Mikhail's knowledge of chess, but I have no ability to play the game. Yes, we do seem to share a love of music, wordplay and all things City related... but that could probably describe a few other members here!
And yes, the movie "Freaks" by Tod Browning is a strange, but wonderful film! Checkmate & Cheers!
Be careful what you wish for.
I wish I'd never ever learnt to play chess and, in fact, I wish the game had never been invented. It caused me to have a breakdown when I was 21 and, over the succeeding years, whenever I've been perpetually sucked back into it, just like a whirlpool, it's always become the same old, all consuming obsession it always was.
I love the game so completely and I hate it at the same time, particularly the effects it confers. It's a cruel and unforgiving addiction of the worst kind.
