@ahool69 No, she claims she was not lovers with the guy, but just casual acquaintances in the industry. I don't know what took place before this, but there were reports and talk that he bought her a house to live in which she adamantly denies.

It's pretty fun. It plays a little bit like Bridge and other traditional card games with a bit of poker involved. It's a great game for chess players who need a break from serious forms of chess like Shogi. The game usually comes down to a critical moment where a player must decide what card to a...

I've played it with people from different backgrounds and everyone has liked it a lot with a good mix of fun and strategy.

@scarryterry Ya, I know he Sonny asked him to get a drink, but the point is that he is there and then isn't there the next time we see the wide shot. So in a way, it seems that Coppola just "trimmed" him out of the scene. We don't see Fredo getting up from his chair to get a drink.

@signorellil David was very upset just before this scene after HAL wouldn't let him into the airlock after the rest of the crew members were killed. He was being very emotional when he disconnected him. Killing a computer never felt so good! :)

@barkbagarn Yep. All the pieces are lose their powers in the trap so any piece can capture any piece while it is in a trap.

I just introduced the pieces to many people at a chess tournament today in Taipei, and the kids were all over the pieces and the game got a lot of attention. After playing a few games with people, I realized the pieces do work well and fit into the game making it much more dangerous. The addition...

@job314st I pointed out objectively that she does not have accurate notions regarding late Qing history and the origin of traditional characters which are not from Taiwan. If you think what I said is not accurate due to some kind of "Chinese" education, please address those issues directly instea...

@hirohiigo Chinese sources suggests no direct link with Chaturanga. Similarities can mean that either side influenced the other side and does not prove it one way or the other. If the earliest known version of Xinagqi does not resemble Chaturanga but the earliest known version of Chaturanga resem...

As far as promoting Shogi in Western countries, I think its a good thing, but since it's Japan's game and like a gateway to Japanese culture, being as close as possible to the original is important if you want to get closer to the source of the game. Software, books, and Japanese players will use...

I would like to get these pieces. How do I get them?

@swanson1944 This was the best scene in the film and a good followup to the Rohan people in the 2nd film, but the existence of the unbeatable ghost army presents problems as you pointed out. The other problem they present is that the ghosts could have just taken out the remaining Mordor army if A...

@cruiseylee What you said reminds me of the two different ways of thinking that influenced the boy (Josh) in the film "Searching for Bobby Fischer". Laurence Fishburne's character kept telling him to play the player and not the game. To Josh's teacher (Ben Kingsley), this would be wrong because h...

@t3tsuyaguy1 I wans't arguing with you. I was more criticizing the Chinese mentality for closing up in the Ming when they were already exploring the world. I see it as the chief reason the East fell so far behind the West and cannot catch up very easily. I think the Brits have their own point of ...
