You have to use computers if you want a decent job, if you want to stay in touch with friends who won't have time for you unless you're on F^%&&&^k, to not see your grade drop 10 points a year etc. That doesn't mean they shouldn't all be put in a big pile and have a nuclear warhead dropped on them.<br /><br />Similarly I have to have a mobile phone, as because everybody else has one they're now closing down the payphones etc etc.<br /><br />If I don't lower myself to everyone else's level then I miss out.

He goes on to briefly mention hypermodern approaches to the centre & dynamics. He doesn't seem to have updated the book itself ---- on the first page it still says that "Black's problem is to secure equality", but of course this is not the intention behind all defences nowadays.Tom Chivershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09850710685193416732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37675897.post-60099259306832898672009-06-15T11:13:15.287+01:002009-06-15T11:13:15.287+01:00Brilliant!
I notice you start your quote with ...Brilliant!<br /><br />I notice you start your quote with 'chess' (lower case c). Is the quote his conclusion of a longer sentence?Sverre Johnsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00796086172553035906noreply@blogger.com
