I haven't come across anyone else but surely I'm not the only one. I know somebody who got a certain poker hand (Jack-Ten) tattooed on his arm. I feel that mine is less "tacky", although people approach mine with mixed results. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Message: *** Seems like an interesting idea & your Knight looks good ... maybe more players will go in for it if they see yours. Doesn't seem tacky at all to me. Personally, I see it as expressive Art, like the game itself. Are you thinking of adding to the "set" ? }8-) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Message: I hope i haven't sarted anything... ;-) Ion ——— Chess Tournament in Chicago Teaches Discipline — The 120 elementary school children sat so quietly and intently that you might have assumed this was a mass detention period. But it was chess, not confinement, in an Oak Brook hotel ballroom on Columbus Day. And the lessons learned might assist school leaders everywhere, including those attempting a systemwide resuscitation for Rahm Emanuel, Chicago’s very disciplined, if impatient, mayor. “My dream is to get in front of education decision makers and convince them to make chess part of the curriculum for K through second grade,” said Susan Polgar, the star of the show. “That’s when thinking patterns and habits are formed. It should be mandatory, like physical education.” Ms. Polgar, ...

At the very least, it makes for an interesting conversation piece ——— Magnus Carlsen recovers from slow start to win Grand Slam in Bilbao — Magnus Carlsen is very strong in the decisive final rounds of chess tournaments, and the world No1 again showed his quality this week in the home stretch of the Grand Slam final at Bilbao. The Norwegian recovered from his drab start to the chess event, overhauled the runaway leader Vasily Ivanchuk with the win below, then again defeated the Ukrainian 1.5-0.5 in a speed tie-break to clinch first place. Carlsen, 20, rarely dominates chess tournaments, but he is tough through skiing and soccer, inventive in a crisis, and has a will to win on a par with the ultimate chess legends Bobby Fischer and Garry Kasparov. Ivanchuk, 42, tired after his fine start. World chess champion Vishy Anand was uninspired and ...

Magnus Carlsen, the current top chess player, is following a similar pattern. He won the Bilbao Chess Masters event on Tuesday, but he had to rally to do it. He won two of his last three games, including one over the early leader, Vassily Ivanchuk, to tie for first. He then beat Ivanchuk in a two-game blitz playoff. It was the third time in the last two years that Carlsen had to overcome an early deficit to capture first place. In 2010, he did the same thing at the Tata Steel chess tournament in the Netherlands and the London Chess Classic. He also made ...

After the world's best chess grandmasters have done all this traveling and playing, the outcome of the Chess Masters Final was still up in the air. It came down to a tiebreaking blitz game in which Norway's Magnus Carlsen, the world's top-rated chess player, defeated Ukraine's Vassily Ivanchuk, at 42, the oldest participant. Ivanchuk had a blistering start with one draw and three wins in the first four games, but things changed in a hurry. He lost to Carlsen in the next round and suddenly the Norwegian GM had a chance to catch up. The first part of ...

Explaining how the device works to a new class is always a challenge. The two main problems are: 1.Most people think the chess clock times each move, when it actually times the whole game. 2.Most people think the device is one clock, and I have to inform them that a chess clock actually contains two separate clocks. Analog chess clocks were the norm for years until the digital chess clock was introduced. Above: A circa-1920s chess clock from the German manufacturer Schachverein Balingen Below: A digital chess clock made by Saitek is set for a five-minute blitz game of chess.

He says his favorite is this tattooed script that he got from a Buddhist monk. It sounds cool. But then I figured that the ink probably has some kind of metal in it. If I ever have to undergo an MRI, I'd rather it be as painless as possible. Posted by kansaspatzer | aussiescrapbookingtop100.com 4/12/2008 15:26:54 Play online chess Message: j/k.
