World on Fire

       After 10 days, a tepid response about New Orleans 19th Century chess theory. Tepid is a "kind" word for a simmer that's low and worse-than almost-freezing. Topic wasn't iced a-tall.               On another topic, chess.com offers an alternative to human chess competitions. Yeah, really. And that choice is a computer versus computer -- in all-or-nothing grunge match -- for computer bragging rights. Those computers are always talking, huh. Sounds incredible, and incredibly boring-ggg. Software versus software? Walt Whitman's spirit could be writing COMPUTER VERSES after their CPUs cool down. Programmers live in their own universe that occupies the chess world which occupies the real world where work and human emotions exist.  Get a job, you LAZYCOMPUTERS! Get a hair cut! Trim that beard because this ain't the 1960s or 1980s! Stop scuffing your shoes on the concrete. Blue jeans with holes ain't cool no more. No smoking either. If a person smokes five packs of cigs in your life, a person is documented as being "at risk" for the rest of that smoker's life by the federal government, insurance companies and Medicare. Stop slouching! Chess is psychological warfare. Go into training.
