These horses are tame and like to come towards you if they see you around.

I had some some over one day,then go galloping around a huge field in a very precision way, and then come back over, to say, so here. Get a load of what we can do.

They have such complicated personalities, and now and then you will find one with a sense of humor that is totally amazing.

hi you all! Thanks for messages everyone, glad you like it! Yes, Claude, that guy IS a Saffa [South African] and in that video he's actually in the Jo'burg area. The Lion Whisperer smile [I have that video on my chess blog too and people quite often visit that link a lot]

Thank you Pablo, best wishes to you too...and all others here! Hope you all keep safe! It is getting very cold here now. smile

Are you still in London or you are in South Africa?
It must be nice to visit that guy in Jo'burg area up

Annabelle2 Saturday, November 13, 2010 5:33:39 PM

hi Claude! No, I'm permanent in the UK..visiting SA now and then. smile There is a game park near Johies where he is. [if he's still there]

But, are you playing a lot of chess?

Annabelle2 Saturday, November 13, 2010 7:16:50 PM

I do of course. smile I'm passionate about a few things and chess is only one. Plus I have a chess club at my school. I do play online and as I work too, I prefer to play only one friend [since 2007 we're chess friends online] and we play 5 games at any one time - at the moment. During holidays I do play more. smile

Wow. Five at a time -- that is hyper chess.
Do you drink as many espressos at the same time?
...
You're really one of my heroes for approaching
chess in terms of total passion.

Annabelle2 Friday, November 26, 2010 12:46:40 AM

hyper chess, you don't know what it is if you say 5 is hyper chess...lol..i had once 120 games going - but I can't handle it anymore...far too much for what I'm doing now. Thanks, I can't go without one move per day at least. smile

120?
....
Thump [sound of Russ hitting the floor]

My hottest times were my old teacher and I -- both between marriages and living at my mother's -- playing around the clock.
Our middle games were subtle, our end games pure mathematics.
....
That was my best action ever.

I take off my baseball cap with silly buttons on it, to you.

So, if you play chess too, why not having a game online with me smile You don't have to be scared, I'm just an average player and won't beat you up, plus it will only be a friendly. smile

Russ Lillygargoyle38 Saturday, November 27, 2010 1:48:39 PM

Oh, you are so seductive.
...
Why, yes, it would be an honor.
...
I'd love to!

Annabelle2 Tuesday, December 21, 2010 7:07:12 PM
