  The chess Olympiad sees the host team Uzbekistan in dominant form, winning all their matches so far. With four rounds to go, they seem unstoppable. There is a women's only event where Australia was paired against Israel. Current Australian Women's Champion Heather Richards refused to play. This is what she said. "Today, for round 7 of the 46th Chess Olympiad, the Australian Women’s Team has been paired against Israel. I was due to play this round, having rested the previous round...

  I bought the book "King, Queen and Knight" from a second hand bookshop today. It is a chess anthology of prose and verse. In the Forward, by C.H.O.D Alexander (chess master and famous cryptanalyst who worked with Turing et al on Enigma), he expresses beautifully an issue for strong chess players, though it could be applied to almost any field. "When we are soaked in chess, completely involved in its technicalities, we lose something; we forget what it was it was like when we fir...

  The Red Bridge in Campbell Town was completed in 1837, the work of convicts. It crosses the Elizabeth River in the North Midlands of Tasmania. #Tasmania #lutruwita #River #bridges #architecture #history #MagicInTheMundane

  The latest Russian attacks on Ukrainian city of Kherson have destroyed the Kherson Chess Club. The only FIDE Presidential candidate to issue a statement so far is German, Jan Heinrich Buettner (the others are Russian toadys). "Chess teaches us that even the fiercest of contests are governed by rules and respect. War reminds us of the terrible consequences when those principles are abandoned." #Chess #War #Russia #Ukraine

  Last weekend I went to Liffey Falls with my wife. It's a 45 minute return walk, apparently. We were overtaken by quite a few walkers who passed us again on their way back. It took us nearly 3 hours, but we touched, smelled, listened, and saw a lot of flora. It wasn't really the season for tasting. I'd never seen Candlesnuff Fungus before, so was almost as excited as at the waterfall. #Tasmania #lutruwita #Fungi #Mushtodon #Mushrooms

  Today is International Awareness Day for Chronic Immunological and Neurological Diseases such as ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia. Whether you are affected by one of these diseases, or know someone who is (Alzheimer's, Autism and Epilepsy also belong in this category, as well as many others), hopefully these conditions will be given more research and funding in the future. It is held on Florence Nightingale's birthday as it is believed she had MECFS. #InvisibleIllness #Chronicpain #Fib...

  In Campbell Town, central Tasmania, they have a statue of Elizabeth Furlong. She was part of a farming dynasty that helped introduce Merino sheep to Australia. I like the way the town commemorate socio economic achievement rather than politico military like so many do. And it's good that the woman of the family gets recognition rather than being erased and eclipsed by her male relatives. #Tasmania #lutruwita #Australia #Statue #Equality #Womensrights

  From a distance, I thought this was mountain berry, but when closer, I could identify it as a European Spindle. Not sure what it was doing in Northern Tasmania, but it was beautiful to see in flower. #trees #flowers #Bloomscrolling #Tasmania #lutruwita
