We take to the streets to protest, we write letters, we mutter in our living rooms about how terrible such & such a conflict is, so here's just another place to be seen and if you so wish, heard. .It’s the natural tendency of governments to suppress or talk down bad news.. Without the facts, there can’t be informed public opinion, nor a corporate will to deal with the disasters that war creates – dangerous not only for combatants but for civilians, not only for the duration of the war but far into the future, not for warring countries alone but for the whole world.......In one way or another, everyone is already affected. In one way or another, the still-quickening rush to even greater disasters must be stopped, and the first thing to go must be war!........Anyway, here we just play chess! Lots of team matches with alot of active players. At the end of the day, it's all in the name of a good game of chess.
