  • Proposal to Encode Heterodox Chess Symbols in the UCS Source: Garth Wallace Status: Individual Contribution Date: 2016-10-25
    Title: Proposal to Encode Heterodox Chess Symbols in the UCS Source: Garth Wallace Status: Individual Contribution Date: 2016-10-25 Introduction The UCS contains symbols for the game of chess in the Miscellaneous Symbols block. These are used in figurine notation, a common variation on algebraic notation in which pieces are represented in running text using the same symbols as are found in diagrams. While the symbols already encoded in Unicode are sufficient for use in the orthodox game, they are insufficient for many chess problems and variant games, which make use of extended sets. 1. Fairy chess problems The presentation of chess positions as puzzles to be solved predates the existence of the modern game, dating back to the mansūbāt composed for shatranj, the Muslim predecessor of chess. In modern chess problems, a position is provided along with a stipulation such as “white to move and mate in two”, and the solver is tasked with finding a move (called a “key”) that satisfies the stipulation regardless of a hypothetical opposing player’s moves in response. These solutions are given in the same notation as lines of play in over-the-board games: typically algebraic notation, using abbreviations for the names of pieces, or figurine algebraic notation. Problem composers have not limited themselves to the materials of the conventional game, but have experimented with different board sizes and geometries, altered rules, goals other than checkmate, and different pieces. Problems that diverge from the standard game comprise a genre called “fairy chess”. Thomas Rayner Dawson, known as the “father of fairy chess”, pop- ularized the genre in the early 20th century.

  • The Future of Ocean Governance and Capacity Development
    The Future of Ocean Governance and Capacity Development <UN> Elisabeth Mann Borgese, 1918–2002 First Lady of the Oceans remembering Elisabeth Mann Borgese Committed as she was to all the right things, she gave dazzling speeches with a brilliant turn of a phrase, but I remember her best standing on her head and smiling upside down. It was the oceans she loved, those salty seas where life began and over time emerged onto land. She believed a new set of laws would do as life had done: emerge from the seas onto land. She gave her own life to this grand possibility. She lived at the water’s edge and took her dogs for long walks on the sandy shores. In her quiet moments she taught her dogs, proper English setters, to play piano, to type and even to write Columbian school poetry. I learned from her the art of vision, of looking into the depths and finding a future worth fighting for. She was only fifty when I saw her standing on her head, well past youth and on her way to venerability. She grew older with grace, never slowing her tempo or showing the accumulating years. They called her the queen of the seas, the first lady of the oceans. It was the mountains that took her away, the snow covered mountains. david krieger, February 2011 <UN> The Future of Ocean Governance and Capacity Development Essays in Honor of Elisabeth Mann Borgese (1918–2002) Edited by the International Ocean Institute - Canada Dirk Werle – Paul R.
