CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Any other chess lovers?

I know good players can see the whole picture clearly even with a two dimensional board, (or blindfold) but I find looking at the board from both 'sides' helps a bit
...what would I do if I was Carl.
And somehow, a 3D board...the different heights of the pieces helps me see things a bit better.

LOL - YAY!
You have no idea how many games I've lost by stupid blunders - lack of end game experience.
21. King takes Bishop (h2)

Here is the position after;
21. a1 to c1. (Algebraic) QR-QB1 (Descriptive) Rook on the Queen side moves to the square called QB1 (Rook/Castle on the 'a' column/file moves to c1)
