... the course of a match. Matches can last as long as a month, with one game every day, eight hours each.
Over 120 countries officially consider chess a sport. The Unites States is not one of them. That may be because we seem to have a very narrow-minded view of what exactly a sport is. Ask any random person if chess should be considered a sport, and the most likely response will be hysterical laughter, yet more people play chess competitively than any other game in the world, and more books have been published on chess than any other subject. Most of those players and authors firmly believe tha ...

... suggested solution,
naturally advocated by the buyers. But no business favors such a remedy.
Not only since it reduces their income but also because it sends out the

worth less and that the customers have been charged too much before. And
if the price can drop by ten per cent this year people might expect it

... in a low self-esteem and a reduced level of production. I enlisted into the United States Army for three years following my high school graduation.

deaths of millions of people? I still cannot bring myself to believe that
