I Have A Dream
I have a dream ,
a dream that one day the Australian chess community will have a single forum.
A dream where all chessplayers can stand proud , proud, with no fear nor favour ,
building a forum where all can speak freely , without condemnation for their freely held concerns and perspectives.
A place where as one , we can strive together for a better and a brighter future.
Instead of fighting between ourselves , we must fight, as an almighty phalanx , a phalanx against the forces that would see chess suppressed to a point far below its rightful place ,far below its rightful place at the right hand of the very god himself.
I speak to all chess players and ask you to consider,
the time to bury the hatchet .
The AX calls on you all ,
My friends it is time ,
it is time to bury it, bury the hatchet,
not into each other ,
but into the very schisms that divide our wondrous community .
I remember well the very spirit that fuelled the great SCT ,
and the spirit , my dear friends was this ,
that each of us , no matter how inflated or blind the ego , is not and never can be greater than the game itself.
It is nothing less than our duty, to not just the inherent dignity of each and every one of us ,but to the very essence of the universal cosmos ,in which we all play our role as a piece in the grand design.
I have a dream ...
