Making A Chess Board The Quick&Easy Way

Geniet wat jy hier vind....Enjoy what you found here...

God created the world just like a knife and left it up to us to take it by the handle or the blade--C J Langenhoven...Seek in the past everything that is good and clean and build thereon your future...Paul Kruger... Vriende moet soos boeke wees, min, maar goed uitgesoek --Langenhoven... Friends should be like books, few, but hand-selected --Langenhoven... Goeie boeke en musiek verryk jou siel -- Good books and music enrich your soul --Langenhoven... Let those love now who never loved before. Let those who always loved now love the more. --Thomas Parnell

You cannot step twice in the same river, for other waters are continually flowing in--Knowing not how to listen is knowing not how to speak--Heraclitus, Fragments. Vuil wasgoed is om te was!-- Langenhoven 'I think one move ahead - but it is always the best move'-Reti Some part of a mistake is always correct. - Savielly Tartakover

There is no failure except in no longer trying--Elbert Hubbard. The secret of success is the ability to survive failure --Noel Coward.

Music expresses feeling and thought, without language, it was below and before speech, and it is above and beyond all words.~Robert G. Ingersoll

Avoid the crowd, think independently. Be the chess player, not the chess piece! - Rumi.

It is better to fail in originality, than to succeed in imitation - Herman Melville. While one should always study the method of a great artist, one should never imitate his manner. The manner of an artist is essentially individual, the method of an artist is absolutely universal. The first is personality, which no one should copy. Chess is the touchstone of the human intellect.-John Wolfgang von Goethe.

The chessboard is the world, the pieces are the phenomena of the Universe, the rules of the game are what we call the laws of Nature and the player on the other side is hidden from us. - Thomas Huxley.

Wisdom begins in wonder. - Socrates.

You cannot step twice in the same river, for other waters are continually flowing in..knowing not how to listen is knowing not how to speak. --Heraclitus, Fragments.

Chess teaches you to control the initial excitement you feel when you see something that looks good and it trains you to think objectively when you're in trouble. - Stanley Kubrick.

A man is like a fraction whose numerator is what he is and whose denominator is what he thinks of himself. The larger the denominator, the smaller the fraction. - Leo Tolstoy

The pawns are the soul of chess. - Philidor
