Diadoco: Hello friend, I hope you enjoy the game. A hug from Mexico. As will harvest chilies?
}

{
Squibber: Hi, nice to play you again. This summer was not as hot as last summer so there will only be a small chili harvest this year. It has not been cold but it was a wet spring with not much sunshine and the plants have only grown slowly, so they are still small. My friend has done better but he grows them under glass. I have to grow mine outside so I'm rather dependent on the weather here.

Diadoco: The fight against inclement weather is a problem, I hope you are lucky and your plantasse develop well.

Squibber: The weather is actually always interesting. Each year some crops do well and some badly, depending on the weather. My chili is not so good this year but today I harvested my onions and they look good.

Diadoco: Today we celebrate the independence of Mexico from Spain. I attended the traditional dinner of Mexican food and the ceremony of "Cry of Independence". The menu consisted of: "Chiles in walnut sauce" that are filled with meat and fruits; "Pozole" which is a pork broth with corn Seasoned with three kinds of chiles. Fried plantains stuffed with cream cheese; "Cheese empanadas" with tomato sauce and chili
}
{
Squibber: Sounds amazing. I would love to be there just for the food. Today we had salmon with potatoes and salad but I eat chillies with Brotzeit some evenings.
 Viva la Mexico!

Diadoco: Newspaper El Pais, August 26, 2016
Twenty-five years after the end of the Cold War, Germany has decided to launch a new civil defense plan. It includes instructions for people to undertake the collection of food and water for several days in the event of a conventional military attack enemy, but also to react to hypothetical terrorist attacks, major natural disasters, cyber warfare and chemical, biological or nuclear attacks. "An attack on German territory requiring use conventional defense mechanisms is unlikely, "says the report by the German Ministry of the Interior," but the country must be sufficiently prepared for the possibility that a threat is concrete. "
 
One of the proposed measures is the recommendation to collect sufficient water supplies for five days, which is estimated would be about two liters of water daily. the people are also encouraged to keep enough food for ten days. The plan provides for emergency situations if the supply of water or electricity and a series of measures in case there is a chemical, nuclear or biological, or in the event of cyber attacks occur threat is interrupted.
 
The new plan announced by Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere, emphasizes the collection of medicines, emergency plans to cut the supply of water or electricity and protective measures against a possible chemical weapons attack, biological and radioactive. The document also includes plans for mass evacuation, emergency housing, measures to get cash and the protection of cultural property.
}
{
Squibber: Well I don't know anybody who says they have taken any notice of this. I have enough beer, water and food to last me for a few days but that is not because I am scared of being attacked, it is more because I don't like to go shopping more than once a week. I don't think an attack is likely but natural disasters are more likely to cause disruptions. A large solar storm knocking out all electricity would stop everything and cause chaos. If that happens I don't know of any plans to do anything about it.   
}
7... Bc5
{
Diadoco: What caught my attention in Latin America is speculating that the German government has inside information about any real threat that currently exists. And not only it is a measure to counteract some hypothetical danger.
}
8. Be3
{
Squibber: I can hardly imagine what information they might have, really. I thought perhaps the government might be supporting the bottled water industry but that is doing very well here as it is. The danger of Germany being attacked these days by another country is very remote, approaching zero. They are a NATO member, close ally of USA, on no front line, take hardly a role in any war and have no real enemies. A terrorist attack is a possibility. There are many refugees from Syria for instance who were never properly controlled and nobody is sure who really is here. Nothing much has happened yet but people are worried and the very right wing are gaining a lot of points criticizing the government about it. Perhaps they want to look helpful. Nevertheless if you do happen to be unlucky enough to be blown up or shot by terrorists I don't see that having enough water for 5 days in your cellar will be of much help to you.

}
8... Bd7
{
Diadoco: In Latin America, the population distrust the statements of members of the government of his country. For example, in Mexico when President declares that the "peso" of the country's currency not devalue against the dollar, people interpret it is good time to take action and protect themselves against a possible fall in the value of the national currency. if in México a minister had made similar statements, surely panic buying and tumults be generated in supermarkets.
}
9. Bxc6
{
Squibber: Although I have no reason to defend politicians and though the minister in question is not from a party I agree with much I see no problem here with these remarks. It does no harm to have a little bit of food stored in tins and packets if it is going to be used at some point and not thrown away. Things could even go wrong at some point. Nevertheless there is no threat of attack and there has been no panic buying as a result of this statement. Nobody took much notice of it.
}
9... bxc6
{
Diadoco: Also affects Mexico, currently several seers and alleged contacted by aliens, have spread that it is possible that an asteroid impact in a short time at sea near Puerto Rico, causing a destructive Sunami affecting Mexico and USA. This does not have any scientific backing, but fans base their theories conspiracy with news like Germany we have discussed, or the existence of tens of thousands of plastic coffins stored in USA.
}
10. Nd2
{
Squibber: So don't buy any real estate in Puerto Rico. I think Aliens could also mess things up here if they had time to bother with us. Perhaps you are aware that a few scientists spend all their time sending messages into outer space to try and find aliens. Not everybody finds this a good idea. Have <you looked at our forum lately? Check it out.
}
10... Qh4
{
Diadoco: I agree with the view that interstellar messages to other civilizations are an unwise idea. The reaction would have a alinigena race by placing our existence is unpredictable, it could be violent. It is curious history radio message sent into space from the Arecibo radio telescope on November 16, 1974 (41 years ago) to commemorate the renovation of the radio telescope. The message had a length of 1679 bits and was sent in the direction of star cluster (Globular Cluster) called M13 (Messier object No. 13 Catalog of celestial objects). This celestial object located in the direction of the constellation of Hercules, at a distance of 000 light-years around 25 consists of some 400 000 stars. The message contains information on the status of the solar system, our planet and human. The message was designed by Frank Drake, Carl Sagan and others.
But the August 21, 2001 were these two crop circles in an adjacent field radiotelescope Chilbolton in Hampshire, England: One of the crop is a succession of pixels (less homogeneous color unit that forms a digital image) which seen from the air forms the image of a face. It is the face of an alien race of gray.
The other crop, is the exact reproduction of the Arecibo message sent in 1974 but with other data:
We see Numbers 1 to 10 appear exactly the same in training.

The first difference we can see in atomic numbers that make life on earth. They added an additional element in its life that is silicon.

The next difference is an extra line on the left side of the DNA double helix and DNA nucleotide change itself (the center line of the graph).

The difference with the graph of average human being and height are obvious. The image of the alien has a significant increase in head size and a height of about one meter.

There are also changes in the description of the solar system. We had highlighted the third planet from the solar system (our Earth) and they highlighted the third, fourth (Mars) and fifth (Jupiter, the latter with even more momentum).

Finally we can see the differences between our radio telescope and the technology used by them.
}
11. O-O
{
Squibber: I do not see any evidence of alien life including crop circles, which I believe to be man-made. Nevertheless I find the action senseless as I do not see what it should bring. The reason being that there has been life on earth for about 4 billion years and we have known about radio waves for not even 150 years, which is obviously not a very long time in the scheme of things. Therefore the sending of radio messages to aliens can have one of the following effects, depending on who is out there.
Scenario 1- Nobody is out there: a waste of money and time but no real harm done.
Scenario 2- Somebody is out there but they have not yet discovered radio waves: a waste of time and money but no harm done.
Scenario 3- Somebody is out there who knows about radio waves and gets the message: Well we might hope they have also just discovered radio waves and are at a similar state of development to us but that would be such a massive coincidence you might well ignore it. It is much more likely that they discovered radio waves many thousands of years ago. When you look have fast technology develops now that means they would be invincible for us. We can hope that they are friendly but why should they be? Look at our history or even the history of life on earth. The stronger or more fit continues and the weaker perish. Why should that not happen to us? They might well be looking for resources or somewhere to live.

}
11... Bb6
{
Diadoco: I agree with you in all three scenarios, and contact with an alien race has huge risks, because as you say the weaker civilizations always are affected by intercultural contacts. But I think it is very possible that life exists elsewhere in the universe. There are millions of stars and millions of planets similar to Earth conditions. Life Is a Miracle that finds its way into the most diverse ecological conditions, as shown in our world. I think there is intelligent life on other planets, in some places in the universe. The problem for contacts between civilizations are the great distances between stars. If a technology to travel at the speed of light was discovered, what the theory of relativity considers impossible, even the trip to Alpha Centauri the closest extrella would last 4.34 years. However, what science considers impossible at a time, years later discovered otherwise. In the ninth the Academy of Sciences of Paris, established that it was impossible to fly a heavier than air century, and today has established aeronautica completely different principles.
}
12. Nxe4
{
Squibber: I also believe life out there is very possible, not only because of the enormous number of planets but because of the enormous number of moons too. Life could exist on a moon. The only thing is nobody has ever recreated life so nobody knows how it works. Nobody knows what the spark is. It could just even be that the creation of life was so improbable that it would never happen twice, no matter how many planets are out there. It is often ignored that we do not know this. It could also become possible to get by the relativity theory in the future  by traveling through worm holes or finding ways to warp space-time ourselves to help with space craft speed. By the way. I have three teams for the Stanley League now so it is viable. You can play if you would like to.
}
12... Qxe4
{
Diadoco: I'm glad the league with three teams count. I am interested in league play chess Stanley, I'd appreciate that you include me in the team. Speaking of life on the moons, today September 26, 2016, NASA gave a press conference about the existence of an ocean under the ice covering Europe, the satellite of Jupiter. It was confirmed by observation with the Hubble telescope, the existence of water and speculates on the possibility of life. NASA will send in future a probe to the moon to investigate.
}
13. Re1
{
Squibber: Yes indeed, astronomy is a very exciting field at the moment. Just over twenty years ago we could not find planets outside our solar system, now we know so much more about them. Things are developing really fast and you are always waiting for the next discovery. The Hubble Telescope was a revolution. It is slowly losing it's orbit and will be lost one day but you know they are already building its successor which will be even better?
}
13... O-O 14. Nxc6
{
Diadoco: The location of Telescope in orbit around Earth is an excellent idea, because all the distortions caused by the atmosphere are avoided. The Chinese have just inaugurated the largest radio telescope deel world, even had to relocate several hundred people, to create an area free of interference around the equipment.
}
{
Squibber: Well you can do that in China. Rosetta has landed on her comet and said good night to us. A cold and lonely heroin like Joan of Arc.
}
14... d4 15. Nxd4
{
Diadoco: Rosetta is a very important achievement of the table. After a job more than a decade is achieved the objectives of the mission
}
{
Squibber: A great achievement for ESA. It was on the news a bit here as the ESA control centre is in South Germany.
}
15... Qxe5 16. Nf3
{
Diadoco: It is important to research of comets and asteroids. In the future it presents the risk of an impact on the land and then we will take action. The history of the earth shows that these impacts are newspapers, every few million years. It is a matter of Probability.
}
{
Squibber: Have you heard of the Nemesis theory?
}
16... Qb5
{
Diadoco: Yes, I know the theory of Nemesis. I find it interesting and explains some of the astronomical phenomena that occur at intervals of several million years. It is possible that our sun is a binary star, a small star with off orbiting around it.
The theory of Nibiru and return every three millennia it does not seem correct. It is very possible that there is not yet detected a planet in the solar system, but its orbit is completely outside without crossing with other planets. Sedna is proof of this theory, the orbit of the planetoid is an example of how the planet could be orbiting X.
}
17. c4
{
Squibber: Well after 7 months of flying to Mars ESA have crashed their probe by landing it too fast. I know we are in the developing phase but that is pretty depressing isn't it?

}
17... Qf5
{
Diadoco: I regret the problems of the ExoMars mission, which lost contact with the module Schiaparelli after landing on Mars. I think using the method of stopping the fall by a parachute is inappropriate in an atmosphere that is only 1% of dense relative to the atmosphere of the earth. Although it seemed the suitable f save fuel with less weight solution. Fortunately the orbiter is already located in position around Mars. They may conduct investigations on methane and frozen water deposits, so it is important to harness the efforts of the mission.
}
18. Bxb6
{
Squibber: I thought the same about a parachute to an almost no atmosphere planet but assumed they knew what they were doing. Now it looks otherwise.
}
18... cxb6
{
Diadoco: In defense of the ESA, it is necessary to say that in their missions NASA used similar systems for peaking on Mars. In addition to the parachute, they use a shield and thrusters. The last two tests of parachutes designed for use on Mars NASA made in the upper layers of the Earth's atmosphere, have failed. The current problem of the Mars mission ESA was the limiting of sending the lowest possible weight and while the system was functional decenso using protective shield, thrusters and parachutes. Experience seems to show that it is necessary to design a system based on different principles descent.
}
19. Re5
{
Squibber: Well we are learning I hope.
}
19... Qg4 20. h3
{
Diadoco: Learning too costly in the case of ESA. The parachute Exomars broke off way too fast and thrusters that should run 30 seconds did less than 10 seconds. Some experts believe that the investment should have better results
}
{
Squibber: Yes it was a huge investment for sure. First to design and build then to fly for 7 months and crash it. Very sad. Perhaps one day we can find the bits and glue it back together.
}
20... Qxc4
{
Diadoco: This weekend celebrations began in Mexico Day of the Dead. In the country it is thought that on 1 and 2 November is possible for the dead to come back and share with the living. Altars in homes that represent the different levels of the underworld and where offerings to the ancestors of food, candy skulls, liquor and objects they liked the deceased are placed are mounted. Also, it is going to cemeteries to eat or watch, to be in party mood at the graves, with music, flowers and alcoholic beverages. The newspapers publish "skulls" which are satiric verses that talk about a person and their encounter with death, so that reminds the living that inevitably will die and must take it with humor. In Mexico at this time the dead do not inspire terror is an opportunity to live with them.
}
21. Qxd7
{
Squibber: That is very interesting and I hope you have a good time. Today was a holiday and it is traditional to visit graves of dead ancestors. However it is serious and no fun. I do not do it as I have do dead ancestors here.
}

{
Diadoco: Do you think about the choice of USA? . The Mexican currency peso lost ground against the dollar, because the last daily poll gave the victory to Trump 46% to 45% of Hilary. Public opinion in Mexico is in favor of Clinton, by restrictions on free trade and migration, which seeks to Trump.
}
22. Rae1
{
Squibber: I would very much imagine that you guys are against Trump. He does want to build a wall behind The Rio Grand and remove illegal Mexicans from the USA. I don't like either candidate but I like Trump even less. I wish Al Gore was president. So I hope Trump loses but Hilary will not be good.
}
22... h6
{
Diadoco: Clinton is a candidate who identifies with the vested interests and conveys the impression Image that no innovation is not recorded in the USA with his leadership. But the eccentricities of Trump scared and consequences of their actions are unpredictable.
}
23. Re8+ Rxe8 24. Rxe8+ Rxe8 25. Qxe8+
{
Diadoco: Trump triumphed, US citizens are looking for a change in relation to traditional politicians. For many, globalization affects their interests and they are not satisfied with the way that their country travels.
}
{
Squibber: I can't believe just how stupid Americans really are. They complained that George W Bush was the most hated American President ever but they voted for him twice. Now they have voted for Trump. That is stupidity. In the meantime I have managed to get 3 Old Tewkers together for a meeting in Prague. That is a record.
}
25... Kh7
{
Diadoco: Congratulations on your meeting in Prague, it is an important achievement and I regret that I am unable to attend. I hope everything is very pleasant and interesting.
}
{
Diadoco: For observers from other countries, it seems inconceivable that the USA elects president to someone like Trump. But US citizens have a problem that has not been addressed for a long time and prefer to "stick to a burning nail" to vote because things remain the same. Clinton identified with the continuity of the Obama administration and Trump promised that he would do something different, so they decided to give him the opportunity because they are fed up. Many now trust that the rules of the system will moderate Trump and prevent him from taking extravagant measures. In the end, he is an entrepreneur and in accordance with the same values that support the status
}
26. Qe5
{
Squibber: Yes, I have heard this but it is really the wrong way to protest, it won't help anybody. As for Prague it  was a good event but understandably a very long way to come from Mexico. 
}
26... Qxa2 27. g3
{
Squibber: Trump has said that he will try to be friendly to Europe and the rest of the world but they must understand that America comes first. This is however Republican code for "I only care about America and I am not interested in the rest of the world." I fear that Trump will throw away the climate agreement that Obama had signed with the rest of the world just like Bush did with the one Clinton had signed with the rest of the world. The world will drift apart again and it will be bad for everybody. USA and China will do nothing for climate protection and it will all break down. For the most voters in America USA IS the world however, that is why this mess is landing on us.
}
27... f6
{
Diadoco: I agree with you, so far Trump's position is clear that it puts the immediate interests of the United States ahead of the needs of a globalization project that benefits the world as a whole. This at first glance may seem wrong, however, it represents the posture of the majority of the citizens of USA. The problem is that the projects of globalization that are promoted today conceal that the integration they seek is oriented to favor minority groups, at the expense of the interests of the majority. For example, in Mexico the momentum of integration projects to globalization has worsened the situation of workers. The right to retirement, which held the employer and the state to cover a pension, has disappeared. Currently there are funds for retirement, which only pay 34% of the salary. In addition, natural resources such as petroleum pass from state property to private hands. All this makes people question the benefits of "globalization" oriented towards a few, and prefer to take conservative positions on the changes. For example, I have talked to a number of European citizens who see the EU controlled by bureaucrats serving Banking capitals, who promote a project to benefit bankers at the expense of the interests of the entire population. In view of this situation it is not uncommon for citizens of the United Kingdom to vote to withdraw from the Union.

Certainly, regarding the theory of climate change there are currents of scientists who disagree with their conclusions. According to the indications that the investigations on the climate, this one has changed of natural way during the time alternating periods cold and hot, without the intervention of the man. Currently there are indications that the sun is starting a "minimum period" that will cool the earth for several years, this can be observed by the sunspots that in the past days have almost disappeared. Alarmist data on global warming are partial and do not represent the overall evolution of the planet's climate. The view that the earth has a perfect climate and this is disturbed by man, is not correct, in fact the climate has changed permanently throughout the history of the planet alternating hot periods with cold and this will continue to be comfortable or not to man.
}
28. Qe4+ Kg8 29. b4 Qa4 30. Qd5+
{
Squibber: Natural climate change is well known but does not make man-made climate change okay or irrelevant. What many people fail to realize is that when the climate changed in the past we were nomads and could walk away from the consequences. Today many millions live in cities on or near to the coast. If the sea level rises the cities will be flooded and they will be displaced. Many millions will be on the move, seeking housing, work and food and money anywhere and there will not be enough of it. There are hard times ahead and we choose to ignore it. 
}
30... Kh8
{
Diadoco: Climate change must not be ignored, even urgent action must be taken to counteract the effects of man-made actions that have an impact on the climate. But what is a mistake is to consider that the climate is an entity that does not change by itself and to create that there is a climate "right and for dictation" that would always prevail. The reality is that the climate will surely change with the intervention of man or without it. In addition there are people and organizations, who profit from the cause of climate change, which detract from the scientific bias.
For example something they do not say: The sea ice that surrounds the Antarctic reached a new maximum. The prestigious and well-known scientific journal Nature published on July 21, 2016 an article in which a group of researchers of various disciplines (Turner et al., Nature 535: 411-415, 2016) mentions that the Antarctic Peninsula is cooling gradually. In the same note, they refer to the fact that it was one of the places on the globe that had been heating up more rapidly since the last half century, but that this process began to revert in the late 90s, with a decrease in the average temperature of 0.5 degrees Celsius per decade. .
That is why it is striking that in Antarctica this progressive cooling is verified, although the same researchers of Turner's team believe that it does not contradict global warming as a whole. However, it is clear that there are new nuances, and that climate change is not as unidirectional or even as some believed, but that there are areas of the planet that are heated at different speeds while others are not too disturbing or even cooling.
Increased ocean levels pose a serious threat to coastal countries that are losing ground, as is the case for some islands, or the situation in Bangladesh, whose territory is largely in the Gulf of Bengal and is based in the Ganges. On the other hand, the most abundant rainfall regime has favored grassland growth in the African Sahara, which has not only stopped desertification but also absorbs more carbon dioxide by increasing plant biomass that makes photosynthesis, Which helps to mitigate the greenhouse effect.
And while the majority opinion is that global warming is due to the emission of gases derived from industrial activity, there are many who think that we would be in a natural cycle of temperature increase on a planetary scale that began at the end of the last glaciation , When Homo sapiens just appeared on Earth, so that the current emissions of anthropic origin would not affect too much global climate change.

}
34. Nd4
{
Squibber: Yes and it is not only to do with climate change. For instance a horse chesnut tree illness has broken out in the North of Germany. There is no cure for it and the only defence is to cut all affected trees down. It is thought to be a bacteria from India which was probably brought here with pot plants. It spreads very fast but nobody knows how yet.
}
34... Qd6
{
Diadoco: The diffusion of species in new ecological environments by the action of man, is a serious problem, for example in Mexico the devil fish has invaded rivers, dams and lagoons. The Devilfish is a species native to the Amazon River of South America, which competes successfully with the species native to Mexico and has no natural predators, which is ruining local fishing. The devilfish arrived in Mexico transported by man and was released irresponsibly in the bodies of water.
