Young and old are welcome! If you want to learn to play chess, backgammon (tavla), Okey, scrabble or another game: let me know (Hans Doeleman: 0533 860 5433 or Skype me: dutch_crusader) and I'll find a (free) teacher to teach you the basics!

Very welcome also are Cypriot Turks (and their children)!

I've a reason to believe that "Cyprus Today" may pay some attention (photographer?). That'll certainly help to attract more players. And it will also help if you, the reader/player of this thread, will tell your friends! Thank you!

White: e2-e4. How does Black answer in a Sicilian defence?

Re : Msg 6,



I am not sure if it is the longest word. Because James Joyce wrote without any punctuation marks ( like many on C44) in so-called 'stream of consciousness', sometimes there are pages and pages of letters and syllables in some of his works. (What fun to read them! )

@ msg 7: Black has a choice of defences, here's one of them: c7-c5! It's called the "Scheveningen Variation". Don't mention it, I'm pleased you may have learned something...

If I have the time the "Alsancak Backgammon & Chess Club" may organise the first "TRNC Championships Glass Marbles" shortly (for posters nr. 12 & 13 in this thread ).

Re : Msg 14,



Marbles - glass or otherwise - were clearly lost long time ago!

Toots I think it may be a bit of a toss up between Miss Millie and the lovely Tess. It depended on who got out first x

Hans

I think you left out a third 'tomorrow',

Macbeth:

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,

Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,

To the last syllable of recorded time;

And all our yesterdays have lighted fools

The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,

And then is heard no more. It is a tale

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

Signifying nothing.

Just for your information!



Richard

@ Msg 26, Guido: What else can I do..?! The score must be something like 26,5 - 1,5 (in your favour, needless to say...).
