you dont seem to have much to say about anything either.
why dont you add to the nonsense or get out.

I just think this is really fascinating, but a little bit off subject. Some people look for racism in everything, even in a game like chess. They see White moving first and having an advantage as some sort of form of oppression against black people. Of course, this is absurd. But, it's even sillier considering that White did NOT always go first in chess. At first, it was the luck of the draw. Only later, to standardize everything, a side was decided upon to always go first.

and it was, of course, only coincidence that white was chosen...

I realize it may be far too late to say something remotely serious in this thread, but nevertheless...

I've come to view white as representing yang energy and black as yin energy, which of course is not at all the same as good/evil but does still suggest a certain dischotomy. I sometimes feel that a different mindset is required to play well with each color, and so I find this metaphor useful in understanding that difference.

"... elementary school - it is because of that quote that i am currently Satanic."

i don't support Satanism at all, i'm actually a Baptist...
but i think that'd have been funny nonetheless

Chess as the game we play? No. The Indians did.

edit - And by Indians I don't mean the first nations of North America, I mean people from India.
