Celebrate Chess

Chess contains more than enough complexity to merit serious philosophic consideration. It is a world in itself, mirroring so many aspects of our existence. The miracle is that all of this can be achieved inside an 8 by 8 array.

I am not a strong enough player to provide you with any great analytical insights, but I have played over a number of years and, hopefully, my love of the game will be on show in this blog.

The photograph at the top is of my brother (please see the post entitled "My Big Brother, David") enjoying his games against two friends in his local pub - which is how I like to remember him, now he has gone.
