Perceptual Pawn: December 2005
http://chessgrrl.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
About the wonder of chess, and why a board game can be captivating far beyond just winning or losing. Wednesday, December 21, 2005. Initiative is the soul of chess. It's what often makes a won game. The reason for this is that my opponent grabbed the initiative before me, and started to apply pressure on my position. So lately I have started to realise that taking the initiative is an essential part of what makes you win a game. Posted by Cecilia @ 00:06. View my complete profile. Susan Polgar Chess blog.

Sunday, May 24, 2015. 8220;The tiger is a large-hearted gentleman,” Jim Corbett wrote in his intro to Man-Eaters of Kumaon.

His parents were born in India and after the Mutiny settled in Nainital, a "hill station" in the heavily forested Kumaon region of the Himalayas of northern India. Corbett was born there in 1875. The railway refused to releas...

On the Tracks of the. 8220;Writing about travel,” says Theroux, is “the nearest I will come to autobiography.” This book seems more personal than others because it reprises the 1973 journey that first brought him fame, The Great Railway Bazaar. Back then he didn't mention the “domestic turmoil” the trip had caused, but in 2004 he “relived much of the pain.” Railway Bazaar,. He tells us now,. Without daring to anticipate such an event, it was th...

Tuesday, December 30, 2014. The Story of the Great Canadian Cold War Combat Jet - In Pictures and Documents. Published earlier this year, this book is proof that the Avro Arrow didn't die when the plane was scrapped in 1959.

Miller's book brackets the main story with interesting details ...

Saturday, August 8, 2015. O brave new world.". I never realized the irony in those words until I saw them spoken by innocent Miranda when she first sees Alonso, Antonio, and Sebastian, all guilty of treacherous behaviour. The play, mounted this summer by Two Planks and a Passion. A small theatre company in rural Nova Scotia, is a wonderful choice for an outdoor performance. Prospero halts Ariel in her tracks with a wave of his hand, and tumbles her about with a twist of his fist. Ariel plays tricks o...

Tuesday, July 21, 2015. Classic Spy Novels Revisited. Summer brought an urge for light reading, so I looked up some old favourites in the spy genre, representative volumes from four British authors who made a major impact on the genre. Remarkably they're are still in print despite being more than a half-century old. At times they seem like historical novels giving us a glimpse into a (perhaps deceptively) simpler past. Ambler's most well-known novel is probably The Mask of Dimitrios. Begins in Istanbul w...
