More From Clive James

I love chess, and i didn't invent fischerandom chess to destroy chess. i invented fischerandom chess to keep chess going. because i consider the old chess is dying, it really is dead. a lot of people have come up with other rules of chess-type games, with 10x8 boards, new pieces, and all kinds of things. i'm really not interested in that. i want to keep the old chess flavor. i want to keep the old chess game. but just making a change so the starting positions are mixed, so it's not degenerated down to memorisation and prearrangement like it is today.

Whoever called snooker "chess with balls" was rude, but right.
Sports Rude Balls
I object to being called a chess genius because i consider myself to be an all around genius who just happens to play chess, which is rather different. a piece of garbage like kasparov might be called a chess genius, but he's like an idiot savant. outside of chess he knows nothing.
Play Different Genius
Like dvoretsky, i think that (all other things being equal), the analytical method of studying chess must give you a colossal advantage over the chess pragmatist, and that there can be no certainty in chess without analysis. i personally acquired these views from my sessions with mikhail botvinnik, and they laid the foundations of my chess-playing life.
Thinking Views Giving
I started playing chess when i was about 4 or 5 years old. it is very good for children to learn to play chess, because it helps them to develop their mental abilities. it also helps to consolidate a person's character, because as it happens both in life and in a chess game we have to make decisions constantly. in chess there is no luck and no excuses: everything is in your hands.
Children Character Hands
[george w. bush] has balls. and he's a leader. unfortunately his balls and leadership are in the service of shitty ideas. we need his balls on someone who thinks right.

While i have questions about the language used in describing the two economic systems, i think people have fairly good gut sense of the difference between socialism and capitalism.
Thinking Two Differences
Only those who attempt the absurd will achieve the impossible. i think it's in my basement... let me go upstairs and check.

Even now, when i try and think of band names just randomly, i'm so thankful that 'fun.' is the name of the band. i never really think twice about it. it is so simple and so easy.
