"Chess is only a game and not to be classed with business, science,
technology, not to speak of religion, philosophy or the arts. No one
desires to see players devote to chess such time as they need for serious
purposes." (Emanuel Lasker)

Ah, you're jealous, huh? Because _I'm_ the idiot _with_ the brain and
you're just the sad twit without.

It must be kind of hard to realize that even an idiot can instantly find
information that you are not able to retrieve at all - let alone read it
when it is retrieved for you.

Practice hard boy, one day you'll bypass your handicap. And improve your
handlllllling of keyboard keys. And wipe your own ass.

What you are looking for is probably what Lasker is saying in his book
"Common Sense in Chess"
The book is an abstract of 12 lectures he gave in London in 1895.
The first lecture is opened with the following words:

COMMON SENSE IN CHESS



No. 1
Gentlemen: It is customary to begin with definitions, but I am sure that all
of you are so well acquainted with the essential parts of the history, the
rules and the characteristics of Chess, that you will allow me to jump at
once in medias res. Chess has been represented, or shall I say
misrepresented, as a game—that is, a thing which could not well serve a
serious purpose, solely created for the enjoyment of an empty hour. If it
were a game only, Chess would never have survived the serious trials to
which it has, during the long time of its existence, been often subjected.
By some ardent enthusiasts Chess has been elevated into a science or an art.
It is neither; but its principal characteristic seems to be—what human
nature mostly delights in—a fight. Not a fight, indeed, such as would tickle
the nerves of coarser natures, where blood flows and the blows delivered
leave their visible traces on the bodies of the combatants, but a fight in
which the scientific, the artistic, the purely intellectual element holds
undivided sway. From this standpoint, a game of Chess becomes a harmonious
whole, the outlines of which I will endeavor to describe to you in this
course of lectures.


regards,
Dik

Yes, you indeed are the idiot CeeGeek! You are too braindead to
understand a simple sentence in your own native language. Learn how to
read english, then come back to the NG's and try to be "helpful" at
that point.


I won't try to communicate with you in _my_ native language, as you seem to
have enough problems with your _own_ English language, let alone with my
Dutch native tongue.

That's why I owe you an apology.

Given your clumsy and helpless efforts to communicate I withdraw my harsh
words about you having no brain. I was wrong. You're a peabrain.
