An extraordinary chess game: *Brain power 2kb RAM* by Gerald Wartensteiner (1 Review)    Price verified 2 hours ago

An extraordinary chess game *Brain power 2kb RAM* "Chess is art and science" Usually chess games fought out between people but as a result of extraordinary Events two chess computers suddenly speak: MORPHY: "Shall we play a game of chess?"

(22 moves = 44 diagrams) As is common among "chess players" the two "opponents" verbally every move and documented in writing. Whether this is a "game of the century" the reader can decide. With this in mind, I wish all readers and chess friends a lot of health and joy.

I am a ghost writer. I was born in Szczuczyn, Poland on January 26, 1839; and I died in Grodno, Poland on September 15, 1933. I had a shop selling household provisions that my wife managed. However, the business was not successful, and I turned to teaching in order to support myself and my family. From 1864 to 1869, I taught Talmud in Minsk and Washilishok.

1997 remembered by Paul Hirons (5 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

1997 was a year worth remembering. Among its many gifts to us were Tony Blair, the death of Princess Diana and the Young British Artists, including a young Damien Hirst. In this comedy memoir, we're introduced to Martin, a troubled, downtrodden man, who launches himself into 1997 like there's no 1998. When he turns up at the Glastonbury Festival in June, he's hopelessly unprepared for the muddiest festival ever and what it's about to throw at him. Set against a backdrop of iconic music and the dying days of Britpop, we're whisked through the year via extracts from Martin's scabrously funny journal. His running commentary is cynical, jaundiced, scathing, mocking, brazen, sweary, ribald, unfeeling, recalcitrant and opinionated - and that's on a good day! As the year unfolds, he lurches from one disastrous situation to the next, ruining relationships and antagonising the people around him. As his demeanour darkens and his behaviour deteriorates, the people around him try to see the ...

Roger Corman: A Biography: King of the B's (Hourlong Press) by Hourlong Press Price verified 13 minutes ago

The King of the B's Roger Corman. The name conjures visions of outlandish creatures, campy dialogue, and blood-soaked thrills. But Corman's story is far richer than mere B-movie schlock. He was a maverick who thrived on the fringes of Hollywood, a rebel who defied the studio system and, in the process, launched a cinematic revolution. In this book, we'll look into his meteoric rise, from a wide-eyed student to a director churning out films at a breakneck pace. We'll explore the iconic low-budget genre flicks that cemented his reputation as the "King of the B's," films that dared to push boundaries and entertain with gleeful abandon.

The Adventures of Ulvik the Troll by Bark Mason (6 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

Ulvik is wise according to the low standards of his kind. He is the only troll that knows which colour of cow is best for chopping into sausages or why a Saxon is tastier than a Celt when stewed with dumplings. In his adventures, set in tenth-century England, he meets Saxons who want to roast him for dinner, a scary Viking chieftain who wants to punish him for burgling the local mill and a neurotic shepherd, anxious to understand his sheep. The book also includes an account of the epic Battle at Rock Hill and Ulvik's subsequent meeting with Erik Bloodaxe, the pompous king of the Vikings.

Tempest: Geometries of Play (Landmark Video Games) by Judd Ethan Ruggill (University of Michigan Press) (6 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

Atari's 1981 arcade hit Tempest was a "tube shooter" built around glowing, vector-based geometric shapes. Among its many important contributions to both game and cultural history, Tempest was one of the first commercial titles to allow players to choose the game's initial play difficulty (a system Atari dubbed "SkillStep"), a feature that has since became standard for games of all types. Tempest was also one of the most aesthetically impactful games of the twentieth century, lending its crisp, vector aesthetic to many subsequent movies, television shows, and video games. In this book, Ruggill and McAllister enumerate and analyze Tempest's landmark qualities, exploring the game's aesthetics, development context, and connections to and impact on video game history and culture. By describing the game in technical, historical, and ludic detail, they unpack the game's latent and manifest audio-visual iconography and the ideological meanings this iconography evokes.

Taking a transmedia approach and underlining the designer's cinematic and literary influences, he uses the narrative structure; the techniques of imagery, sound, and music employed; the game mechanics; and the fiction, artifact, and gameplay emotions elicited by the games to explore the specific fears survival horror games are designed to provoke and how the experience as a whole has made the Silent Hill ...

The bad blood between Edom and Israel, beginning with brothers Jacob and Esau, has evolved and increased over the centuries erupting in epic betrayals, underhanded deceptions, and outright sellouts. Pride, ignorance, and injustice all play a role in Edom's ultimate destruction and demise leaving Israel with the last laugh. Believed to have been written by the minor prophet Obadiah, considered to be a minor prophet due to the shortness of his book, sometime after the fall of Jerusalem in 586 B.C., this book delivers a precise and unapologetic prophecy against Edom, a message of hope and deliverance for Israel, and a prophecy concerning the forthcoming Day of the LORD.
