Fernando,
You must have woke on the wrong foot today my friend. I was joking about the
comments on the languages, not agreeing with them. You'll notice that I joked
about even English so no exceptions were made. Here are some good reasons to
learn Myarnmarese (to understand better read TWIC 226):
- With Myarnmar headed to becoming the Numero Uno in chess, we can expect they
will have publications of the highest quality in their native tongue.
- Myarnmar will become a sort of (though geographically different in nature)
Cayman Islands of chess: a haven to relax and accumulate rating points (as
opposed to money)
- Myarnmarese is the language of brotherhood as shown clearly from the
tight-knit (Fernando: means 'very close') organization that has permitted their
players to reach ever new summits in the chess hierarchy
