The 400 best chess strategy quotes of all time. eBook
The 400 best chess strategy quotes of all time. by Webster McNairy (Comp.), 2013 Selfedited, 54 pages.
Content: he 400 Best Chess & Strategy Quotes of All Time is a chess book, written so clearly and universally that even a person focused solely on business and nothing else could still understand and benefit from it.
"I began to read this book prepared to improve my chess game. What I found was a way to improve my business skills. It helped me develop a framework for thinking. Not just for chess, but for business strategies."
Even if you are not a chess player, you will be able to apply the practical know-how of this book. It will help you convert the principles of strategy to everyday thinking. After reading this book, you will be a better-informed player of the "game" of life.
The chapters are artfully delineated by chess principles and deliver thinking methods that penetrate relations in business and all areas of life.
"Savvy arrangement, combined with a barrage of the greatest strategic minds, provides a very concise and clear applicability to everyday life. Simply great stuff." "I found myself thinking deeply and metaphorically about the 'board' (the market, points of weakness and strength), the 'pieces' (my skills and talents), and my 'opponents' (internal and external)." As a cog in the machine, you don't have the ability to make acquisitions, divest services that aren't profitable, etc. But you do have the ability to strengthen your position at the table by securing strong squares, coordinating your actions, and "getting rid of bad bishops."
Mercifully for the non-chess fan, the book is devoid of the algebraic gibberish (3. … Nxc3+!!) that populates many chess books. It does not go into chess moves or combinations, but instead the practical theories behind them.
You already know some of the truths in this book. You've applied them throughout your life. But maybe you didn't consciously recognize them. Unrecognized, these truths would be hard to improve upon or pass on to others. You will find here the great strategic ideas, enunciated by masters.

I am a chess player, a novice a while ago who has been in your shoes. A stage where you don’t know how to improve your game, and some might not find any improvement at all even with all the theory they read and games they played. I am here to share the techniques I used to get to the next level with you so you don’t have to ponder your mind searching for the answer, but rather can just focus on the process.
People say it takes a decade of hard work to reach the master level, but I am here to prove it wrong. It’s you who decides how long it should take to get to the next level not anyone else. It’s not all about hard work; it's about confidence, preparation and smart work. I learned the game so fast people say I am a natural at chess, or my amazing memory helps me. I am not telling this to impress you, but to impress upon you that rapid chess improvement is possible. People just tend to make excuses like these for rapid growth and not believe that it’s just possible in general. I am here to just show you the necessary steps you need to take to get there...
Programming a computer for playing chess.
by Claude E. Shannon
Ed. Bell Telephone Labs, 1949.
Content:
This paper is concerned with the problem of constructing a computing routine or "program" for a modern general purpose computer which will enable it to play chess. Although perhaps of no practical importance, the question is of theoretical interest, and it is hoped that a satisfactory solution of this problem will act as a wedge in attacking other problems of a similar nature and of greater significance. Some possibilities in this direction are:
Machines for designing filters, equalizers, etc.
Machines for designing relay and switching circuits.
Machines which will handle routing of telephone calls based on the individual circumstances rather than by fixed patterns.
Machines for performing symbolic (non-numerical) mathematical operations.
Machines capable of translating from one language to another.
Machines for making strategic decisions in simplified military operations.
Machines capable of orchestrating a melody.
Machines capable of logical deduction.
It is believed that all of these and many other devices of a similar nature are possible developments in the immediate future. The techniques developed for modern electronic and relay type computers make them not only theoretical possibilities, but in several cases worthy of serious consideration from the economic point of view.

Bitcoin and beyond. Cryptocurrencies, Blockchains, and Global Governance.
By Malcolm Campbell-Verduyn.
Published July 29, 2019 by Routledge
212 Pages - 5 B/W Illustrations
Content:
Since the launch of Bitcoin in 2009 several hundred different ‘cryptocurrencies’ have been developed and become accepted for a wide variety of transactions in leading online commercial marketplaces and the ‘sharing economy’, as well as by more traditional retailers, manufacturers, and even by charities and political parties.
Bitcoin and its competitors have also garnered attention for their wildly fluctuating values as well as implication in international money laundering, Ponzi schemes and online trade in illicit goods and services across borders. These and other controversies surrounding cryptocurrencies have induced varying governance responses by central banks, government ministries, international organizations, and industry regulators worldwide. Besides formal attempts to ban Bitcoin, there have been multifaceted efforts to incorporate elements of blockchains, the peer-to-peer technology underlying cryptocurrencies, in the wider exchange, recording, and broadcasting of digital transactions. Blockchains are being mobilized to support and extend an array of governance activities. The novelty and breadth of growing blockchain-based activities have fuelled both utopian promises and dystopian fears regarding applications of the emergent technology to Bitcoin and beyond.
This volume brings scholars of anthropology, economics, Science and Technology Studies, and sociology together with GPE scholars in assessing the actual implications posed by Bitcoin and blockchains for contemporary global governance. Its interdisciplinary contributions provide academics, policymakers, industry practitioners and the general public with more nuanced understandings of technological change in the changing character of governance within and across the borders of nation-states.
El documental «Frente a la gran mentira» ha sido realizado por Atanasio Noriega, y pretende servir al propósito ilustrativo de desvelar uno de los mayores engaños de los últimos siglos en la materia política. Tomando como base y fundamento las ideas, los principios y el pensamiento de uno de los mayores pensadores políticos de todos los tiempos, el jurista español Antonio García-Trevijano Forte, esta producción audiovisual, que se distribuye gratuitamente y para el dominio público, desarrolla y expone los principales aspectos que han contribuido a la creencia extendida y falsa, de que hay democracia en España, de que hay Libertad, o que la ha habido algún momento.
A lo largo de las casi dos horas del montaje audiovisual, se denuncian y se explican toda una serie de cuestiones, hasta ahora desconocidas para la gran mayoría de personas, y que suponen por lo tanto una verdadera revolución en el pensamiento y el conocimiento a nivel internacional. Los principios científicos que fundamentan la exposición, y el hecho de que supongan un cambio paradigmático en la propia ciencia política, hacen de este documento un elemento único y de necesaria y obligada observación.
Acontecimientos históricos en España, que comienzan en la conocida como “transición española” y que continúan con el golpe de Estado del 23F de 1981, preceden al desarrollo y explicación de una serie de fundamentos que permiten comprender, de forma fácil, conceptos más complejos de la política, y que, hasta ahora, habían sido ajenos al conocimiento de un público amplio.
El documental “Frente a la gran mentira” propone, a la consideración del espectador, asuntos que van a cuestionar, durante el desarrollo del metraje, todo aquello en lo que hasta ahora había creído, y que constituía en él, una forma de fe y de creencias equivocadas que conducían sus acciones. Aspectos que, por lo tanto, suponen una verdadera herejía y que rompen de forma sorprendente con todo lo establecido. Ante todo, “Frente a la gran mentira” es una apología de la libertad antropológica, de la libertad fundamental, que se distancia de cualquier consideración utópica del término.
Ha sido dirigido, financiado y producido por el Presidente actual del MCRC (Movimiento de Ciudadanos hacia la República Constitucional), que además es también patrono de la Fundación Antonio García-Trevijano Forte en España.
