He means Russian chess, right? Although Chinese chess is cool with a river in the middle, elephants, castle, cannons.

This place has been amazing this week... so, so, so, so glad I found it when I did. So many things lined up *perfectly* for us to be here, and I cannot WAIT until October.
I'm glad we retired his Jersey. I feel bad that I took him for granted during his time here, big fella will always be a big part of this team.
There is so much gold in that thread. Certainly wrong about Harden. Morey's done quite an impressive job and I'm ecstatic about this season!!

Barkley actually showing Houston some love. That's a first. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nbnmM4xFdU
He's always said good things about the team, city and coach. He just feels he was taken for some $$$ by management.
