Don’t you ever forget that YOU TOO are a result of billions of years of evolution.

This is an obligation – can you imagine if it was all just a waste of time?!

Sometime ago, I read a quotation somewhere, which belongs to Savielly Tartakower, if I am not mistaken. The one I read mentions chess players, but it refers to people in general, I think:

There are chess players, who play poorly, but who know they play poorly. They are reasonable - help them.
There are chess players, who play poorly, but who don’t know they play poorly. They are ignorant - avoid them.
There are chess players, who play good and who don’t know they play good. They are modest - respect them.
There are chess players, who play good and who know they play good. They are the chess gurus – follow them.

In this case it is not important to label people and to classify them, in my opinion. Much more important it is to take a moment and answer a very simple question – which are you from?

Several years ago, I was riding on the public transport, on my way to work. Two teenagers, white bulgarian boys, were sitting close to me. On a bus stop, their coeval came on board – they obviously knew each other. The new guy came closer and said:

- Ooo, negroes!

I laught my a** out. O tempora, o mores ;).
