The Need To Win

If I cannot win anymore games then I need to move on.  I already moved on from tennis because  tennis  is a young  man's sport although one classmate in high school told me I already made my mark in   tennis and I am ever so grateful for that remark.   Yes it was a long time ago but still I live for those days of glory as they have sustained me until this day.   By  the way one can play tennis at any age no matter what age  you are and no matter what ethnicity you are.   Snide remarks were made about Serena Williams when she was enrolled in a tennis academy so her father took her   out and began    coaching her himself.   And look where she is today?  First place in a world  ranking in women's tennis.   Not too many years ago Andre Agassi the tennis legend responded to my question  and that no unfortunately not minorities or people of color are not about to enter the field of tennis on a high professional level due to the fact that clubs for tennis are too expensive and people of color other than Caucasians would not have the exposure.  Andre told me this with Ronn Owens listening objecting well what about Serena Williams?  Well , what about Serena Williams?  I say you go girl!  Abraham Lincoln was indeed a great American President and said in a famous speech that all men are created equal and if people of color can achieve equality and I don't mean absolute superiority then maybe just maybe the balance of humanity will be seen as fair and proper.   Okay now I said my two cents worth and I bring you back to the chess game but remember there are other things good things in life besides chess.  Later I will tell you more about the great chess legend Bobby Fischer.
