Dear friend Mr. Barve, I feel sad whatching my good Goan friends fighting each other, forgetting that first of all, we are Goans and Goan Chess its a promisse to be well cared, loved and estimed... Not only Ivana, more players will keep coming under Goan's coaching and parents suport, aside Goa State Chess Assotiation; good things will happen if, instead of strugling, we geather forces and keep on the good work together... "Friends to be friends are not called upon to agree even on most points" "Differences of opinion should never mean hostility". "It is beneath human dignity to lose one's individuality and become a mere cog in the machine" "Legal imposition avoids the necessity of honour or good faith". "What passes for facts is only the impressions or estimates of things, and estimates vary". "Intolerance of criticism even of what one may prize as dear as life itself is not conducive to the growth of public corporate life". "Individual liberty and interdependence are both essential for life in society". My apologies for quoting Shri M Gandhi, but I am very concerned about Goan Chess future achievements... My best regards for you Mr. Barve, as well Mr. Salgaocar, Mr. Augusto Pinto and all the Goan Chess Family. Mr. Barve, you are free to use this message and submit it to the Media; I already send it to Goanet and other Portuguese partners, Goan and Portuguese friends. Leonel Rocha Pinto Núcleo de Xadrez de Lagoa's President Algarve Portugal PS - Please let me publish in www.nxlagoa.com your articles from Chess in Goa and also invite others to help me constructing Chess Goa Chronicles, where we could change diferent opinions and realities from Chess, our passion.
