Whatever - a prayer
Whatever your cross,
whatever your pain,
there will always be sunshine,
after the rain ....
Perhaps you may stumble,
perhaps even fall,
But God's always ready,
To answer your call ...
He knows every heartache,
sees every tear,
A word from His lips,
can calm every fear ...
Your sorrows may linger,
throughout the night,
But suddenly vanish,
in dawn's early light ...
The Savior is waiting,
somewhere above,
To give you His grace,
and send you His love...
Whatever your cross,
whatever your pain,
"God always sends rainbows ....
after the rain ... "
To get out of difficulty, one must usually go through it!

Happiness
We can travel a long way and do many things, but our deepest happiness is not born from accumulating new experiences. it is born from letting go of what is unnecessary, and knowing ourselves to be always at home.
- Sharon Salzberg

U may be out of my sight, but not out of my heart. U may be out of my reach, but not out of my mind. I may mean nothing to u, but u’ll always be special to me.

Something we love
When we love something it is of value to us, and when something is of value to us we spend time with it, time enjoying it and time taking care of it.

Replacement
In some places words have been replaced by symbols which, like amulets from a witch's bag, have the power to consume the living spirit of chess. - Tigran Petrosian

Chess Problems
Chess problems demand from the composer the same virtues that characterize all worthwhile art: originality, invention, consciousness, harmony, complexity, and splendid insincerity. - Vladimir Nabokov
Combinations in Chess
Combinations have always been the most intriguing aspect of Chess.
The masters look for them, the public applauds them, the critics
praise them. It is because combinations are possible that Chess
is more than a lifeless mathematical exercise. They are the
poetry of the game; they are to Chess what melody is to
music. They represent the triumph of mind over matter

Quote for the day
A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.
Charles Darwin
PETROSIAN RULE
PETROSIAN RULE:
Sometimes winning is the only acceptable outcome. In such a situation, should you adopt a wild opening, swinging for the bleachers from the first move?
The great Petrosian often counseled the young and talented Russian-Armenian master Karen Gregorian. Once Gregorian returned from an important qualifying tournament and showed Petrosian a last-round game in which the young man played some dubious opening moves as Black and lost. Petrosian cross-examined him:
Petrosian: "Why did you play such terrible moves? Even you should understand these are bad."
Gregorian: "I had to win to qualify."
Petrosian: "Make a note. It's much easier to play for a win from an equal position than from a bad position!"

Quote for the day
It is the aim of the modern school, not to treat every position
according to one general law, but according to
the principle inherent in the position
