Everything/Anything and…Chess…"Despite the documented evidence by chess historian HJR Murray, I've always thought that chess was invented by a goddess"–George Koltanowski: from the foreword to:"Women in chess, players of the Modern Age"

George Santayana

11/08/2017 by Nikita

George Santayana said, “Those who do not remember history are condemned to repeat it.”  We can forgive other nations for the past and for the wrong doings, but you should never forget. Memories should be kept alive in order not to repeat what happened and to always remind us not to repeat it. Warsaw uprise is a good example where Poland commemorated what happened 70 years ago last week. What are your thoughts?

    Goeie dag Nikita,
    Ek’s besig met my 4de boek oor die Groot Trek t.w. die 2 groot bakleiery in Natal in 1838 en weer in 1842 net voor die Trekkers uit Natal is. Dit het my 17 bladsye gevat om byvoorbeeld net die slag van Konjella (Congella) te beskryf met natuurlik baie tekeninge by. En tog in geskiedenisboeke is Konjella maar ‘n paragraaf of twee.

    Ek geniet die skrywery vreelik baie en die navorsing ook. Dit gee my ‘n dieper insig oor waar ons ou volkie vandaan kom en waarvoor ons staan. Soos dinge vandag is lyk dit my ons mense gaan nog vir ‘n 100 jaar of meer bestaan.

    Maar nou ja ek sluit af, ek wens jou en jou familie alles wat mooi is toe.

    Groete
    Clive

      Hi Clive, Dankie, dieselfde vir jou familie ook! Dis goed om weer van jou te hoor en ek’s verbaas om te hoor jy’s besig met boek 4! Is die ander boeke aanlyn beskikbaar? Ek sal graag die titels, voorblaaie wil sien en meer bietjie daaroor wil lees.

      Nikita, nee dis nog nie aan lyn nie. Ek sal seker moet begin dink hoe om ‘n webwerf vir myself te ontwerp want daar is ander mense wat ook hierna vra. Ek het so ‘n paar maande terug (net voor ek die 3de boek voltooi het) Boeke 1 en 2 na ‘n leser in Engeland toe gestuur.
      Groete
      Clive
