Yes, I've heard of it. My wife read widely on it when she was pursuing her law degree years ago. Said it could help with her jurisprudence papers. Something about philosopher if I'm not wrong. But what has that got to do with this thread?

Well, I'm just picking one of my games on here, game ID 2355275. But perhaps this isn't really a good example, because in the end both still had a knight each. But what I'm trying to say is that the bishop in the particular game is a 'bad' bishop because it is blocked in by its own pawns, and therefore of little use. I'll try to find other games (not neccesarily my own game) to illustrate a knight stronger than a bishop.

What I've done was to go through my games archive and then copy the Game ID nos. Then came back here and pasted it. Somehow it didn't emerge as a link, I don't know. Well, now that you've helped me do it, I guess there is no need for me to find out huh?.... hehehehe.

It was meant as a real thought. The difference is subtle and really presents itself in games of higher rated players.
"I don't give a #?!!* what you think" Then why did you start the thread?
Why be rude? I was just trying to contribute.

English did not exist in the time of Socrates.
Socrates was a lover of wisdom (philosopher). He taught his students through a questioning process that has come to be known as the Socratic method. It is the dominant teaching technique in law schools, and is used in other places.
Socrates and his students expressed fondness for the nubile bodies of young men.
Plato's dialogues are the most extensive record of his life and teachings. In Plato's record Socrates condemns writing and representation, raising questions about the veracity of Plato as a student of Socrates. Thus, the historic character Socrates is best known through texts than in their content challenge the possibility of truth in such a structure. That's why I called him a fictional character.
Plato's dialogues were written in Greek and have been translated into most major languages.
Socrates own writings, especially those concerning the relative strengths of the bishop and knight, remain undiscovered. Many reasonable people that have examined the evidence dispute that they ever existed.

Originally posted by WulebgrI must admit that languages and philosophy are not my strength. I am trained in the property valuation and consultancy profession. The only time that I did read up a bit on socrates was when my wife was reading it. And it was a translated version (into) English. It was some years ago, and I only read that part about how he tried to argue that we were borne with knowledge, but that we have somehow 'forgotten' it... or something like that. He went on to prove his argument with asking some mathematical questions to a lay person.... in fact, I thought common sense questions. I wasn't impressed with his arguments though. That's how little I can remember, and I'm not even sure if the details of my memory are accurate as well. But thanks for the information anyway.
