Thanks for promoting Anand!
Anand is Great!.He fight(As “my” Polgar sisters of course) to a great Cause.I Have seen the immage of VS.And i could tell:”As i’m very lucky!”.I’m particullary sensible to this thematics,and i see with delusion that ONLY ONE PERSON has signed this post.And has totally misunderstood the meanings of action of Anand.Anand promote the research for disabilities and celebral palsy because he has really sensibility to this thematics.I Support Anand,Susan,Sofi,Judit and Alexandra Kosteniuk for every actions they do in this sence.And i will fight with them.Because doctors provoked me a celebral palsy when i was a baby.
Thanks to God or fortune,i’m not in the conditions of the boys that i have watch in the video.Thanks to god i don’t have any kind of mental,and intellectual defects,Thanks to God or fortune,i m not autistic.And i had a life totally different respect this boys.Thanks to my family,and thanks to myself today i’m very near to finish my studies,i’m invented a new Theory and soon i will be an High Professor and a Political Opinionist and i’m a non Professional chessplayer.(I Have learn alone the game) I am one of the pupils of the assistent of Ex president of Italian Republic Cossiga(1985-1992) last Italian president from Sardinia,that appreciate very mutch my ideas and loves me very mutch.But this is TODAY.
I Was very luck because i came from a very good family.But i couldn’t forget my PAST,and all the sufferences,the fighting and the cryng,the Therapy(very hard),The Surgeries.You couldn’t think that all the peaple with celebral palsy are stupid.Every story of a children with this disease is particular.Many of them associate Phisycal disease with autism and mental disease.Other have no mental disease,but their phisical disease are so grave that the peaple think that they are stupid,because they could have great difficults to speaks and moviments.This is a grave mistake because is caused by the ignorance and pregiudice and disinformation.
There are person with celebral palsy without any kind of mental disease that as myself have a good use of hands and they could move themself quite well and are quite independent,drive the car,play chess,work studies.But however when you speak about your problem to other peaple they could think that your problem are caused by other motivations(viruses,axcident….).
Some disinformed persons asked me if i had the Poliomelithics(!!!!).
And the girlfriends came away from yourself because they think that the disability could be trasmiss to other!,they have fear.(So i had fear to tell to girl that there was a celebral damnage).Only in rare case the celebral palsy could be hereditaire,but this case it is very rare.Sometimes girls have fear of your problems.!.
Unfortunately this prejudicie there is in many fields including chess.
So it is necessary to destroy the prejudicie,and i think that with chess we could understand the functionality of the brain,so from chess could arrive a great help.So i am ready(after that i finish my studies),to came to New York,Moscow,Toronto and other place to collaborate with my great friends,and collegues of chess,i’m proud to be a member of this worldwide family.I’m sure that My Sisters,Susan,Sofi,Judit Alexandra Kosteniuk and Anand have already answer Yes to my idea.In this challange all will be United,indipendently from ours political,or ideological views.
And we are ready for fight togheter for the progress of all humanity,and in the fight aganist every type of disease.
I will not play,in the Simul of Anand,but only because now i have problems of Money.This is the only motivation.But i will play in other occasion when my economical situation will be more stable.
I am ready to collaborate with Susan,and other chessplayers.
