Gli scacchi sono una conversazione con la scacchiera, a volte con rocce, muri, e può persino essere considerato folle. La nostra macchina ti insegna come ascoltare la perdita di capelli affinché non si verifichi calvizie cronica. Grazie

Este juego es muy interesante y te hace pensar en cómo prevenir la calvicie por la caída del cabello, porque piensas demasiado, no hay cura efectiva y puede llevar a una calvicie crónica. Parece una broma, pero esta es la etapa final del ajedrez. Tenemos que encontrar un buen remedio, gracias

What seems like a fairy tale today may become a reality tomorrow. Here we have a fairy tale the day after tomorrow.... It is possible that we can grow hair on our heads that become bald from the thought of chess....we asked for an explanation but satisfying answers did not came.... I hope the dear admin does not delete my comment, because what I am saying is a fact, without intending to offend any party. Thank you

I think chess is in coins. Humans forever play in one face. Now I'm playing on another face: "Antichess". Computers are like fortres where the owner forgets to close the small door at the back. You must enter through this door. Forget the front, but I forgot the side door, and in the end I chose to breed donkeys, oh it's so beautiful

I think it's a good game, I've been analyzing chess for decades, and finally now I've found the answer, which is to raise ducks, maybe even raise ducks. Thank you. The Duck Rules!!!

I just give likes and comments here to appreciate, I don't download them, I have all these programs, I used to buy them, and I'm not a parasite, it's just a small thing for me, for people who like to comment on parasite please don't post it for free download, because it's so sad now it's 2026 man, it's still lucky that there are people who want to see this game from ancient times!! THANK YOU

Without change, something sleeps inside us, and rarely wakes up. Those who sleep must wake up, those who pay must be free, that is the change!! FREE RULES!! Thank you.

For me I have loved chess since I was a child, it is a real passion, but when I am an adult I like the opposite sex, and it is a hidden passion, thank you
