Eye Catchy!

Hello friends!
Here is a game that is eyecatchy because of the tactics and the demand for defence! Grandmaster GN Gopal played black pieces. (Chess Olympaid 2010)

and http://www.mediafire.com/?c1z4xdmz4kbszer in pgn format! ;)

Zugzwang

ZUGZWANG!!

Before your life ends up in Zugzwang

Learn to pin, Devoid of sins!

Skewer your thoughts,

Hope against odds.

Manoeuvre your troops and forces

Plant outposts and seal victories

Remember-

Numbered are your moments,

To post your deserving achievements!

Plan, Work Sail and Prevail

This is the way you must trail.

Chess is timing, so Is Life!

Move with a purpose, Have High aims!

Face the gale when

Defence is the demand

Hold on! Take charge and command.

Do the best and Leave the Rest

To God!

And he will save your position from the Critical Zugzwang!

Smyslov!

Hello Friends!

Although Vassily Vassilievich Smyslov, who died last Saturday, was best known as a chess player and World Champion, he had a great love for music. "My study of chess was accompanied by a strong attraction to music," he wrote, "and it was probably thanks to this that from childhood I became accustomed to thinking of chess as an art."

RIP Smyslov....

Here I present two games of Smyslov:

One illustrates his Defensive abilities! With few comments by me

And another tracks his attacking skills : annotated by Garry!

Time to seek some inspiration!!

'Inspirational messages to refresh the spirit and boost the emotional bank account'

If you change one thing . . . Looking back on your life, what would you change if you could?
In the classic 1946 film 'It's a Wonderful Life', the main character, a small-town bank officer played by Jimmy Stewart, is about to commit suicide when an angel shows him how different the lives of people in Bedford Falls would be if he hadn't been born. The movie is a favourite because it affirms how each of us touches the lives and shapes the future in unexpected and often marvellous ways.
More modern films like Back to the Future, Sliding Door, and Frequency are built on a similar premise: If you change the past, you change the future, often in dramatic and unpredictable ways. If you change one thing, you change everything.
Given the potential impact of every decision you make, it's wise to think ahead. Although few things turn out exactly as we plan, the better we understand how our choices start a chain reaction of events, the more likely we are to get what we want.
The enormous complexity of cause and effect leads to another conclusion: It's futile to look back at our lives with 'what if' scenarios. What's done is done. Although changing our past would change our present, it would do so in ways that are so unpredictable that we could never know whether it would be for better or worse.
Accept and celebrate the fact that what you are today is a direct result of everything that's happened to you. It's pointless to wish things were different. Remember, if you change one thing, you change everything.
'If you change one thing - you change everything'

2010 :)

Wish you all a very Happy new year 2010

God

I have recieved many answers for this question! Every one has his or her own views about God.There is no exact definition."God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble" (Bible) Some people believe God as a strength inside us, some believe that God is something which humans have created just to get more support.God is something above science.its the positive enegry. I will post some of the answers/ comments here.
God=Parents Parents=Mentors God=Mentors Actually God is the upper prtion of our right hand the lower one being our parents-- was an answer I recieved today!
Next comment -

Those who advocate theism love God
For those who follow theism love becomes God

If our heart was only flesh, it will be destroyed when it's burnt
If our heart is a temple of love, it will overcome death

For those who follow the path of love, there is no end
The depth of your life is nothing but the depth of your heart

Who is God? You are God and I am God
Who is God? Love is God

One of my friend sees nature as God.. Sky, Water, Air etc.. God is ultimate truth!

Another friend of mine states -

God is me. God is us and God is the love between the "me" and "us"!


According to me --
Full form of God! :) = Generator, Organiser and Destroyer
i.e Brahma who creates or generates everything, and when the World is in problem its time for Vishnu to organise things and when the problem increases its time for Maheshwara to perform action.

Different types of answers can be classified as follows:
1.God is Energy, strength inside us
2.God as Nature
3.God=parents
4.God=love
5.God= True and eternal identity!


God – Mystery!!

Almighty God!
Oh Generator!
Great Organizer,
Evil Destroyer…
I thank you for your provident care!
I can’t see you,But I know you are there
Oh My Creator and Illustrator
Illuminate the positive
And the World will survive
From Evil and devil!
Oh My owner!
You are the strength and My Trainer..
Oh Lord!
I want to be a winner!
Not a sinner…
Guide my way..
GOD!!

{It is rare when an unknown beats a former World Champion; rarer still when
the unknown has only recently learned European moves! Khan flashed across the
chess scene in the early '30s when his "master" brought him to England from
India - and then he returned to oblivion. But not before outplaying some of
the world's greatest.} 1. Nf3 Nf6 2. d4 b6 3. c4 Bb7 4. Nc3 e6 5. a3 d5 6. cxd5
