A classic opening. White moves the King's pawn two spaces forward...
How many people love this old warhorse? I do. Every game is different. It's like an abstract ballet in pure mental space. Sure, the pieces make it easier to play, but...people have played it
Chess also has a language all it's own. Medieval. Brutal. Uncompromising. The weak-willed lose. Game Over. Check-mate, as the saying goes. Evolution and chaos in the middle of what is, on the surface, rigid order.
Chess is a good example of chaos theory at work as well. Thus the unique ballet that is every individual game. Grandmasters talk about every move opening "windows" of danger and opportunity. Classic Taoism, as well. This game has it all.

So, I have made the first move...
Who will take my challenge?
