	Chess - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Two chess players fighting over the board may fitly be compared to two famous generals encountering each other on the battlefield, the strategy and the tactics being not dissimilar in spirit.
		The less endowed player, however, is not left quite defenceless; he has necessarily to adopt a different system, namely, to try to find a weak point in the arrangement of his opponent's forces and concentrate his attack on that weak spot.
		The London League was established, besides the Northern Chess Union, the Southern Counties' Chess Union, the Midland Counties' Union, the Kent County Association; and there are associations in Surrey, Sussex, Essex, Hampshire, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, Somersetshire, Cambridgeshire, Herefordshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Staffordshire, Worcestershire and Lancashire.

	Bill Wall's Chess Master Profiles - Morphy
		By the time he was 13 he was the best chess player in New Orleans and one of the best players in America.
		The New Orleans chess club suggested to pay Morphy the amount needed for him to participate in the Birmingham tournament, to be held in England, but Morphy declined the offer, as he did not want to be considered a professional chess player.

	Paul Cherles Morphy (1837-1884)
		Born to a well-to-do family in New Orleans, Paul Morphy became quite a strong player (thanks largely to the fact that his father – a Judge who also served in the House of Representatives from 1825-1829 – was an avid chess fan) by the age of eight.
		Paul wasn’t only skilled at chess, he also excelled in his academic pursuits and, by the tender age of nineteen, he had earned his law degree and admission to the bar (he had memorized the entire Civil code of Louisiana!).
		Viewed as a chess professional (though he stridently insisted that chess could never be a profession, and that it was merely a pleasurable game, not to be taken too seriously), his career in law never got off the ground.

	The Campbell Report - "On the Square" article
		Chess players and their families are as patriotic as anyone else.
		And obviously it wasn't just well-known chess players and their family members who responded to the call to duty during World War I. Judge Isaac Franklin Russell of Brooklyn may have held a record for his family's interconnectedness of chess and the war effort.
		But perhaps even more tantalizing for chess history readers of today is the remark by Helms that "a draw game was also scored by Abe Landis of Memphis, the originator of 'Trench,' the new war game." Apparently even the tragedy of war was not immune from appropriation by gamesters of imaginative turn of mind.

		Although Stanley Kubrick made many other movies with a powerful message, I will always associate him with "2001: A Space Odyssey." The power of the movie overwhelmed me the first time I saw it and it still does each time I view it again.
		"Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures" is more of a compendium to the documentary video released with the Kubrick Collection boxed set than a book of its own inspration.
		(The pictures of Stanley Kubrick cracking-up laughing on the set of '2001' are priceless; as are the touching photographs of him holding his young children.) The photographs continued until the filming of his last movie, 'Eyes Wide Shut', showing a mature and greying director.

	Stanley vs. Rousseau Match, 1845 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The Stanley-Rousseau Match was the first event held for the general purpose of recognizing the best player in the United States, although the term "US Champion" did not exist at the time.
		By the time of the 1st American Chess Congress in 1857, Stanley was a shell of his former self, due to personal demons (as they call it today in the sports world; I trust that everyone knows what it means when they say that an athlete is suffering from "personal demons").
		It must also be borne in mind that chess players, like the rest of mortality, are subject to occasional ailments, both bodily and mental, which, to a certain degree, will deteriorate from their capabilities of intellectual exertion."

		Indeed, the total space devoted to chess in the entire book is less than that accorded on page 113 to an exploit by Kathryn Ratcliffe (UK), who, on 25 October 2003 and with a tally of 138, broke her own record ‘for the most Smarties eaten in three minutes using chopsticks’.
		Another rare chess term is une lunette, in the context of a pawn fork.
		That Holland and Belgium are countries where chess life is highly flourishing is a very well-known fact and, thus, I was not surprised that in Amsterdam, The Hague, Brussels, Antwerp, Louvain, Verviers, Charleroi they put up against me, in simultaneous exhibitions, rather strong teams of, on average, more than 20 players.

		I don’t want to rehearse the thesis of Gillian Beer’s Darwin’s Plots here, but the Royal Institution’s inclusion of Charles Darwin’s The Voyage of the Beagle over On The Origin of Species on the shortlist demands it.* The Voyage of the Beagle is an important but utterly conventional document in literary and scientific history.
		The sense that everything is connected, though the connections may be obscured, gave urgency to the enterprise of uncovering such connections.
