In botany, an evergreen plant is a plant that retains its leaves all year round, with each leaf persisting for more than 12 months.
In warm tropical regions, most rainforest plants are evergreen, replacing their leaves gradually throughout the year as the leaves age and fall, whereas species growing in seasonally arid climates may be either evergreen or deciduous.
In temperate climates, evergreens can reinforce their own survival; evergreen leaf and needle litter has a higher carbon-nitrogen ratio than deciduous leaf litter, contributing to a higher soil acidity and lower soil nitrogen content.

At first this project was a way for me to become familiar with how to make an Adventure game using the AGS engine, but after a while it took shape into a fairly big game, so I've decided to release it to public and hope that you all can enjoy it.
Still, I think that the overall story, puzzles, action and playability of the game can be much enjoyed by fans of Adventure Games, and I've also included a lot of "Easter egg" type of surprises into the game as well.
Making this game was an adventure in itself, and I've improved so many of my skills along the way, so I feel that any of my future projects will be much improved as well.

 Mark Lowery's Exciting World of Chess - Anderssen's Immortal Game & Evergreen Game
While sacrificing pieces and pawns had been part of the game of chess from its earliest beginnings, the 1800s saw the tactic rise as a prominent weapon in a player's tactical and strategy arsenal with players such as GM Karl Ernst Adolf Anderssen (1818-1879) (often Anderssen, A. in game notations).
The later got its name from GM Wilhelm Steinitz who put the mark on this game of being the "evergreen in Anderssen's laurel wreath." These two games are hallmarks in the theoretical realm of sacrificial chess.
The two games are also highly entertaining because of Anderssen's ability to develop the checkmate move...Be7#...in two different games from two different mating patterns and mating nets.

But judging by the players' eagerness to slap hands with the losers, the Islanders aren't so much drunk with victory as they are intent on leaving the right impression.
It occurs to the players that the game was virtually devoid of trash-talking and rough play, contrary to what they had expected.
Maybe they didn't get the life stories or even the names of their opponents, but they got physical and emotional images, and in the wonderfully expressive language that is basketball, came to know the prisoners on some level.

This game, as Morphy told Edge afterwards, "proved to him that the Evan's Gambit is indubitably a lost game for the first player, if the defense is carefully played; inasmuch as the former can never recover the gambit pawn,and the position, supposed to be aquired in the outset, cannot be maintained."
With us, the exertion that a game requires is only a matter of distraction, and lasts only as long as the game gives us pleasure; with him, it is a sacred duty!
His figuring is, in general, not of remarkable, or even tiring duration; he always takes as much time as such a tireless and experienced thinker requires depending on the position, but never makes the impression of useless and tormented pressure or stress - an impression I occassionally had with Staunton.

 Sensei's Library: Compare Go to Chess/History
Because of this "ancient" Go games, apart from very different openings, are played in roughly the same way as they are today, maybe in the way that Ancient Greek mathematics is essentially the same as modern mathematics.
This is in sharp contrast to Chess, where fundamental strategic principles were not understood until the latter half of the 19th century and the efforts of Morphy (open games) and Steinitz (everything else).
The irony is that Steinitz correctly realised that tactical brilliance comes about through strategic preparation (so a number of the early 19th century brilliancies, e.g., The Immortal Game and the Evergreen Game, were due to extremely poor play on the part of the opponent, though the actual combinations were sound).

LA GRANDE, Ore. - After missing his first attempt to tie the game at 66-66, senior forward Bryan Rabas got a favorable tipped rebound back to him from teammate Tony Luper, and then buried a jumper from 24-feet out from in front the Eastern Oregon bench to send the game to overtime.
Both teams were unimpressive in the first half as Eastern shot a putrid 33.3% on 8-of-24 shots, while Northwest's up-tempo offense got them 13 field goals on 39 attempts, also 33.3%, for a 34-25 lead at the break.
Rabas took a timing dribble to his left and let fly a 24-foot shot that found nothing but the bottom of the net; tying the game at 66-66 and sending the game into overtime.
