  hi Martin
  Welcome to my blog.
  I don’t think I got it from your site, if you look at the name of the artist and the site, I think that is where the art is actually from! You will see image 1 also on her site!

World Youth Chess Championships 2009in Kemer-Antalya - Turkey 11-22 Nov---- It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation. -Herman Melville While one should always study the method of a great artist, one should never imitate his manner. The manner of an artist is essentially individual, the method of an artist is absolutely universal. The first is personality, which no one should copy. Did you know: Chess has the most extensive literature of any game, sport or pastime. Chess is a sea in which a gnat may drink and an elephant may bathe –Indian proverb Chess is the touchstone of the human intellect. -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe The chessboard is the world, the pieces are the phenomena of the Universe, the rules of the game are what we call the laws of Nature and the player on the other side is hidden from us--Thomas Huxley. God created the world just like a knife and left it up to us to take it by the handle or the blade--C J Langenhoven Jou persepsie hang waarskynlik alles af van hóé wyd jou opvatting van die poësie is-Joan Hambidge. Doubt is the beginning, not the end, of wisdom.- Proverb. I doubt, therefore I think; I think therefore I am.-Rene Descartes- Doubt is not the opposite of faith; it is one element of faith.- Paul Tillich He who knows nothing, doubts nothing. Spanish proverb. Wisdom begins in wonder.- Socrates Val eerder in my sop as in my rede--Langenhoven Seek in the past everything that is good and clean and build thereon your future...Paul Kruger Vriende moet soos boeke wees, min, maar goed uitgesoek --Langenhoven Friends should be like books, few, but hand-selected --Langenhoven Goeie boeke en musiek verryk jou siel --Langenhoven Good books and music enrich your soul --Langenhoven Let those love now who never loved before. Let those who always loved now love the more. --Thomas Parnell Love is like quicksand--the deeper you fall in, the harder it is to get out. Some people come into our lives, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never the same. There is no failure except in no longer trying--Elbert Hubbard. The secret of success is the ability to survive failure --Noel Coward. You cannot step twice in the same river, for other waters are continually flowing in--Knowing not how to listen is knowing not how to speak--Heraclitus, Fragments. Vuil wasgoed is om te was!-- Langenhoven 'I think one move ahead - but it is always the best move'-Reti Some part of a mistake is always correct. - Savielly Tartakover Chess teaches you to control the initial excitement you feel when you see something that looks good and it trains you to think objectively when you're in trouble.--Stanley Kubrick A man is like a fraction whose numerator is what he is and whose denominator is what he thinks of himself. The larger the denominator, the smaller the fraction. Leo Tolstoy Love is like a knife, it can stab the heart or it can carve wonderful images into the soul that will last a lifetime. A rising tide raises all boats! - JFKennedy The artist creates in order to free himself, only to find himself again in the end-Irma Stern And think not you can guide the course of love. For love, if it finds you worthy, shall guide your course.Kahlil Gibran Chess, like love, like music, has the power to make men happy.Tarrasch Chess is a beautiful mistress.Larsen Chess is as much a mystery as women.Purdy Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.Benjamin Franklin Love is like a Game of Chess: One False Move and You're Mated ~ Anonymous~ Chess is the art which expresses the science of logic.Mikhail Botvinnik The pawns are the soul of chess.Philidor~~

Some Thoughts

A people are what its women are. The woman is the conscience of her nation as well as the measure of its values. The moral life of a nation is controlled by the women and by the women can we measure the moral condition of the people. - Postma ==The stupid neither forgive nor forget, the naive forgive and forget,the wise forgive but do not forget--Thomas Szasz Wanneer jy groot dinge dink, groot dinge glo en groot dinge bid, gebeur groot dinge - N V Peale Mense sonder boeke, is soos arende sonder vlerke-G.D.Labuschagne
