Our mission statement: Christians with a testimony devoted to the Father through the Son and in the strength of the Holy Spirit.



Given Capablanca's tournament and match record of only 35 losses to a total of 29 different opponents, there is certainly no mistaken ego here.

Capablanca was waiting in a train station in New York one day, with his coffee, danish, newspaper and chess set, when a man approached him. Gesturing at the chess set, he asked if Capa cared for a game. Always delighted to play, Capablanca immeditely set up the board, then removed his queen from the board, to even up the game. Annoyed, the man blurted out, "Why did you do that? You don't know me, I might beat you!" Unruffled, Capablanca replied, "Sir, if you could beat me, I would know you."
