![]() Playing chess is a very vicious game. You try to kill you opponent by any means of mating you can think of. It is very stressful at times. If so, why don't you watch the Russian Ballet, starring Prima Ballerina, Natalia Ossipova in Coppelia which you can watch in above youtube video. You can enjoy both classical music and dance at the same time in ballet. Not only choreography is important but also her facial expression and gesture is very important in interpretation of a story. In Coppelia, she dances like a robot. I am sure you can enjoy the ballet and relax. Take a break from stressful chess game for a while. |

![]() The object of competition is to win by applying strategy, skill and/or strength, not "kill"; and in the case of chess the object is merely to capture one's opponent's pieces in an attempt to eventually surround (not capture) the opponents king to gain check mate. |

![]() I am not a robot. Please check the youtube video above. She is acting like a robot. She will sing and do whatever is programmed for her to do. Human beings are not robots although they can be brain washed or programmed even up to death. For example, a suicide bomber. Having said that I am not a robot. I have a different feeling about chess. You have to have a killer instinct to play chess IMO. It is human nature to win chess games especially against higher rated player. I was playing 6 OTB chess games at the weekend. I scored 4 1/2 points after winning 4 games and 1 draw. I needed to win the last game to win the trophy and prize money but I lost. I got nothing. I was very said because I could not kill the last opponent in the chess game. That is, how I feel about chess. |

![]() youtu.be Since ancient times when chess was invented, people were fascinated with chess playing machine and invented chess playing Turk which could beat many chess players. Napoleon was a great warrior and conquered many countries in Europe at the peak of his power but he was defeated by Turk at a chess game. At first people did not know how Turk works. It may be of interest to you. Please check the youtube videos at the above link. |

![]() I find this music box doll dance amusing. Don't confuse C as S in Chitty. It is a serious matter. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - Music Box Dance: Potts (Dick Van Dyke) and Truly (Sally Ann Howes) sing and dance for the Baron (Gert Frobe) and Baroness (Anna Quayle) dressed as dolls in order to get behind enemy lines. |
