The science-fiction writer (a good one) and programmer (apparently an equally good one, although I am not very familiar with his digital products) Leonid Kaganov published yesterday a modern chess game entitled «OSS — Special Chess Operation».
It had been quite a long time since I had last played even an ordinary game of chess (that is, one not involving special operations), but I nevertheless managed, on my very first attempt, to defeat the dark forces, superior both in numbers and cunning. The battle ended in a highly realistic fashion:

I wish everyone the same success.
P.S. At the moment, Leonid Kaganov is looking for remote programming work in a Russian-speaking team based somewhere in the West. I cannot act as an intermediary in this matter, but I can at least publicise the fact itself. Well, I have just done so.

A few days ago, while making some minor changes to the website, I remembered that I had long wanted to add two features to my little toy tool, the «Text register converter». In other words, that little page which changes the case of all or some of the letters in the text entered into the field. And since it came back to mind, I finally went ahead and did it.

Yes, it is now possible to alternate between upper and lower case in two different ways. The toy has become more complete: I am pleased to have created something that actually works, and I hope that the few users of this little tool will be satisfied as well.
Jolly good.
