I'm not a very good player as such, since all my moves are pretty much based on a rather vague sense of space / position. This game was satisfying in the context that the opponent was at least 200 rungs above on the ELO rankings.

Sat and watched three films over the weekend ( the last ) ...
Pleasing cinematography and a tale well told.
Spellbinding as a delightfully distressing magic realist fable.
Builds up slow to a twist in the tale.

I now introduce Professor Smullyan, who will prove to you that either he doesn't exist or you don't exist, but you won't know which.

What Does It Feel Like To Be A Bat?
This has to be one of those essays that has had a profound influence upon me apropos a general perspective on life. Not that it is a matter of any particular significance, but that it asks the primary question of What Does It Feel To Be An Other ( ? ). I must confess to nursing a feeling that if we cannot ask that question of ourselves, we cannot meaningfully, easefully and peacefully converse, communicate and commune with each other.
As for me, I subscribe to a deviant Theory of Mind i.e. I have none.
