Spoken by great men:"Give me 20 divisions of American soldiers and I will breach Europe. Give me 15 consisting of Englishmen and I will advance to the borders of Berlin. Give me two divisions of those marvellous fighting Boers and I will remove Germany from the face of the earth." - Field Marshal Bernard L. Montgomery, Commander of the Allied Forces during WW2.
"The Americans fight for a free world, the English mostly for honour, glory and medals, the French and Canadians decide too late that they have to participate. The Italians are too scared to fight, the Russians have no choice. The Germans for their Fatherland. The Boers? Those sons of Bitches fight for the hell of it." American General, George 'Guts and Glory' Patton.

Hey bud,
Nice picture of chess players.
I see you have many chess links.
I like to play but I only un amateur player.
Had chess many fans in your country?
hi lemarke… well, I’m definitely NO professional player at all!! and I’m playing chess too… 😉 you’re welcome to register on chess.com or on Chess World… look on the side bar, there is the knight on the chessboard-logo…you will see it…and chess.com’s link is just underneath that one….another site…chesscube.com…link also on my blog…tks for your comments…welcome to my blog.. 😉
your last question about fans… i’m not a professional player…so only my friends/family know me…lol!
En ek dink nie die vriende en familie speel te lekker “chess” saam Nikita nie, verloor is hulle voorland….. 😆
hi Wipneus…ons het eenkeer saam met vriende (voor die dae van “kinders”) scrabble en monopoly gespeel… het ons gelag vir die vriende van ons wat meer gestry het en nie kon saamspeel as ‘n span teen ons nie..dit was prettig…ons is tot vandag groot tjomme en weier hulle om speletjies te speel…hehehe… maar my man het my belowe…hierdie komende vakansie gaan ons almal skaak speel! yippeee!!!
But where can it be found? I can’t even find anything describing its location as “private collection” (indeed, it was hunting for its location that led me here.)
Hi ejh…here are three links…i only put the painting’s name plus the artist’s name in a search…and you can view these links and see if it’s useful….hope it helps… 😉
there were 1000’s more links, but i think you will know what you’re looking for…

Thanks. I’d seen those: I’ll assume it’s a private collection until somebody tells me otherwise!
Hi ejh…pleasure! 😉
The Bargue is in a private American collection.
