The battle in Fischer Random is underway in St. Louis. Legend Garry Kasparov (the oldest by far and the only non-American) did really well! Action continues today. Crazy openings.

I think we often forget how much of a dump Rome had become and how much work many of the Popes did to restore it. (Indietrismo! Backward from the courts at Avingon!)
From the pen of Petrarch:
“Qui enim hodie magis ignari rerum romanarum sunt, quam romani cives? Invitus dico: nunquam minus Roma cognoscitur quam Romae.”
“For who today is more ignorant of roman things than roman citzens? Unwillingly I say: never was Rome less known than at Rome.”
He could have written that this morning, actually. Hmm…
[That comment was so good it deserves a device.]
