Chess is not religion, robbie.
Praying to god for a good move ina tricky situation violates TOS 3(c): "While a game is in progress you may not refer to chess engines, chess computers or be assisted by a third party." God is a third party, is she not?
I hope you don't cheat...

Degrees of fundamentalism? The world is not black or white. But as long as Satan whispers in the ears of the fundamentalists, then I see it as bad, don't you?
There are some similarities between Alzheimers deseace and fundamentalism: a deficiency in the thinking process.
