Man in the Mirror

In view of my keen interest in UI for applications and websites, I feel it necessary to promote an investigation of the new play-chess interface on www.chessbase.com . * It is minimalistic * Allows you to play as Guest * Allows you to choose from different time-controls * Allows you to test your skills vis-a-vis opponents from across the globe Have a look at this interface, that is impressive from a UI developers point-of-view, and very conducive for a chess player to test his wits !  Whoa !  😇😇😇

Having a strong need to play online (blitz) chess into the wee hours of the morning, has it's pros and cons - Pros  * You can improve your tactics * You can better your rating (I crossed 900 in blitz format - see inset). Cons * Your diurnal rhytms are disturbed leading to fatigue, binge eating and insomnia There is no nicotine-patch available for chess de-addiction. You can even end with cold turkey like withdrawal symptoms Keeping this in mind, I have decided to take a chess-sabbatical for 1 month, and catch up with Yoga and meditation. (these are holistic techniques that take you off your chess-dopamine fix.)

The emu and ostrich..., Make a wonderful pair ! Into the open skies..., They never dare. For, They are grounded in flight, This is their plight. To run like Hell, At the sound of Death's knell. The Eagle, On the other hand, Flies above the clouds. Like a natural shroud ...., For the Lord's anointed ! No terrestrial snare, Can Him dare !. And even in flight, He, Is the guiding Light ! A secret, To thee have I told, About this, Avian citizen of old, Whose wings are the worth of Gold ! Nature seems to have worked it's way, On this bird of prey, Adieu, Adieu, Fly away.., Let us meet some other day ! .... . 🙏🙏🙏
