Make My Day

Let us face it chess is a game played primarily by males why this is so I do not know maybe because females are smarter than men as to not get themselves in a do or die conflict. Chess is a game which is a simulation of war. I got interested in chess while at the peak of my tennis game coming off from placing in the finals of the city I often practiced the most I wished it were a major metropolitan city but some champions do come from small towns like I have come to know. I was bred so to speak in Oakland my place of birth and yes I met up with Brad Gilbert one of the coaches of the winner of the last major tournament of the U.S. Open recently. I was never the star player as Brad was now a commentator for ESPN I could be corrected my errors can be corrected. Excuse me for rambling on but even the best legends have been known for ramblings. Note one of my best actor/directors is under fire for doing so and it was this person named Clint Eastwood who coined the phrase Make My Day based on one of his movies. My chess partner named Mike Smith(not his real name) from work would love to threaten me and we would love reciting the macho words Clint Eastwood used in his movies such go ahead make a move make my day. I always ask myself this question whenever I go online to play a rated game with few exceptions. Clint Eastwood is such a major legend that I believe he can overshadow his so called ramblings seen in today's news story. But a mere mortal who rambles cannot be forgiven as easily.
