Borges and Sabato. Two Argentine literary giants. Here they seem like chess pieces on a board!
”I believe that truth is perfect for maths, chemistry and philosophy, but not for life. In life, aspiration, imagination, yearning and hope are more important.”--Sabato
Sabato knew what he was talking about. He studied physics in Paris and at MIT, wrote several important papers on cosmic radiation and returned to Argentina to teach in university. His political ideas did not find favour in his time,and Sabato was forced out of the university by Peron.

Playing chess at the RAND Corporation. 1958 Photographer: Leonard McCombe LINK When I first started playing chess in highschool, this game was introduced and was a popular sideshow for a couple of months. I even played at home with my brothers. You need a third person, a sort of arbiter. Today all I remember is asking ”Any?” at every single move…you only get to see your own pieces and have to guess where the opponent’s pieces are.
