So as I look at transitioning to the communication platforms of the future I see that the beauty of Internet protocols is you get the separation of the layers between service and technology.

I believe every chess player senses beauty when he succeeds in creating situations which contradict the expectations and the rules and he succeeds in mastering this situation.

In chess one cannot control everything. Sometimes a game takes an unexpected turn in which beauty begins to emerge. Both players are always instrumental in this.

I'm going to try to enjoy the All-Star break hope my players reflect on what happened the first half of the season come back with a different attitude try to find our solution on how to win it.

The money is in a different league these days of course but I have special memories of the 60s and 70s which players today don't have. There wasn't the same celebrity attitude and media exposure. We had a bit more freedom.

My agent says that I'm a 'repeat business guy.' If you hire me to come do a movie I'll be on time know all my material be ready to go have a good attitude. I'm here to work so I get hired over and over again by the same producers. If you just be a team player on set you can work so much more often.

Players should know that if you can't make the contribution of the winning shot that your attitude every day when you come to practice or the positive contribution you make through cheering and keeping up team morale is just as important in the overall picture.

With just about every player in Australia his whole goal and ambition is to play for Australia. That's why they're playing first class cricket. It's just a different attitude.

I was impressed by Hendrix. Not so much by his playing as his attitude - he wasn't a great player but everything else about him was brilliant.

If either player abandon the game by quitting the table in anger or in an otherwise offensive manner or by momentarily resigning the game or refuses to abide by the decision of the Umpire the game must be scored against him.
