I can not resist to look for a Mat à l’Étouffée, the most beautiful and most attractive checkmate!
I have just won that game, and decided to share the beauty with chess lovers.
Cheers!

Gracias Sandra
Clavo mi remo en el agua
Llevo tu remo en el mío
Creo que he visto una luz
al otro lado del río.
El día le irá pudiendo
poco a poco al frío
Creo que he visto una luz
al otro lado del río.
Sobre todo creo
que no todo está perdido
Tanta lágrima, tanta […]

I finally could download a huge Mafalda comic strip collection (is it illegal? No copyright was held anyway) that I had fun reading and re-reading.
Mafalda is a 6-year-old prodigious girl who is always worried about Humanity and Peace.
Mafalda was “born” in the 60’s by the Argentine cartoonist Quino who used the character to express his political […]

After several tries, I have been thinking that the only way to write a lesser than (<) and greater than (>) charecters in LaTeX was adding to the header
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
In fact, if not specified, < will become ¡ and > will become ¿, not very helpful to write HTML/XML code. However, with including the package […]

Situation : Dans un restaurant libanais quelque part à Tunis, assis, Swobodin, mangeant un plat de Shawarma, Sharp Cobra (Homo advocatus trans fanaticus), ce dernier avait commandé un plat de kabbab ; à la télé, on voit la chaîne d’information Al-Arabiya, où les antagonistes (un pro-hezbollah, l’autre pro-saoudien) s’élèvent la voix comme dans des […]

The first time I have seen the Immortal game was 5 years ago; I could not forget it since that time.
Adolf Anderssen gave almost all his pieces for nothing, in order to capture his majesty, playing the wild King Gambit, an agressive opening, but has 2 sides: Either you win, either you lose quickly! […]

Cuando llegue la luna llena
Iré a Santiago de Cuba
Iré a Santiago,
En un coche de agua negra
Iré a Santiago.
Cantarán los techos de palmera
Iré a Santiago
Y cuando quiere ser medusa el plátano
Iré a Santiago.
Iré a Santiago
Con la rubia cabeza de Fonseca
Iré a Santiago
Y con el rosa de Romeo y Julieta
Iré a Santiago
Mar de papel y plata de monedas
Iré […]

صرخت بالناس قائلا : أود لو تصلبوني
فقالوا : ولماذا يكون دمك على رؤوسنا؟
فقلت لهم : وكيف لا تفاخرون بأنفسكم إن لم تصلبوا المجانين؟
فقبلوا قولي وصلبوني وهدأ الصلب ثورة نفسي. وعندما كنت معلقا بين الأرض والسماء رفعوا رؤوسهم وحدقوا بي وهم يتمايلون عجبا لأن رؤوسهم لم ترتفع قبل إلى ما فوق أقدامهم
وفيما هم مجتمعون حول الصليب […]

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of […]

Last Saturday we organized a little trip to Tabarka. We started by a lunch, then a swim in a rocky beach where we had to make an escalation to access to the sea; ex-blonde got revolted (again) against Gattuso’s idea; while most of people chose to swim, Di5M4L, Sangoura, ex-blonde and me preferred […]
