Due Discovery

I just realised the cover of one of my favourite books: A Trip to the Stars, is actually a painting called Queen of the Night by Karl Friedrich Schinkel. I never saw that. It just looked like a canopy of stars, much like that of the ceiling of some Renaissance-styled concert hall.

I guess I was never into paintings, otherwise I would have spotted it :) And I dun recall having read that in the book. Strange.

Anyway the discovery was a little of an overdue eureka. Whatever. It is good to now know the truth. I have been set free from not knowing and not knowing that I did not know.

Daily Chess Puzzle: Figure it Find it Finish it

Chess puzzles are a little like golf. You take a look at the positions, understand the "wind" and "terrain" and "slope" a little... and calculate your approach, choose your wood, aim and you tee off! These are fun, convenient, and progressively ranked according to difficulty. Try today's puzzles today! The EASY puzzle can be solved even by people who do not really play chess. The MEDIUM one is a test for beginners and can be interesting even for intermediate players. And if you can solve the HARD one, you are better than me! Enjoy.
