2 X designed the 1925 Poster for the Third French Chess
Championship, and as a competitor in the event,
finished at fifty percent (3-3, with two draws). Thus he
earned the title of chess master. X continued to play
in the French Championships and also in the Olympiads
from 1928-1933, favoring hypermodern openings such as
the Nimzo-Indian.
Sometime in the early 1930s, X reached the height of
his ability, but realized that he had little chance of
winning recognition in top-level chess. In following
years, his participation in chess tournaments declined,
but he discovered correspondence chess and became a
chess journalist, writing weekly newspaper columns,
X observed, “The chess pieces are the block alphabet
which shapes thoughts; and these thoughts, although
making a visual design on the chess-board, express
their beauty abstractly, like a poem... I have come to
the personal conclusion that while all artists are not
chess players, all chess players are artists.”
X left a legacy to chess in the form of an enigmatic
endgame problem he composed in 1943. The problem was
included in the announcement for Julian Lev's gallery
exhibition "Through the Big End of the Opera Glass",
printed on translucent paper with the faint
inscription: "White to play and win." Grandmasters and
endgame specialists have since grappled with the
problem, with most concluding that there is no
solution.

entering the British Grand Prix
that year but in the end failed

The X is a fan symbol associated with the Pittsburgh Steelers, an American


football team in the National Football League (NFL). Created in 1975 by then
Steelers radio broadcaster Myron Cope, the X has since become "arguably
the best-known fan symbol of any major pro sports team".Since its invention,
The X has spread in popularity; fans take their Towel to famous sites while on
vacation. The X has been taken to the peak of Mount Everest, into space on
the International Space Station and seen on Saturday Night Live. It is widely
recognized as a symbol of the Steelers and the city of Pittsburgh.
During the X's debut game Andy Russell, who had opposed the idea of the X,
returned a fumble 93‒yards for a touchdown. The play inspired local fan Lisa
Benz to write about the X, which she later sent to Cope.In part, her poem
read:
He ran ninety-three
like a bat out of hell,
And no one could see
How he rambled so well.
"It was easy," said Andy
And he flashed a crooked smile,
"I was snapped on the fanny
By the X!"

The X Club was a social club that is famous for its organisation of
18th century Y matches. By the late 1770s it was the foremost Y club
in England.The origin of the club, based near X in rural Hampshire, is
unclear but it had certainly been founded by 1768.Its basis was a
local parish Y team that was in existence before 1750 and achieved
prominence in 1756 when it played a series of three matches versus
Dartford, which had itself been a major club for at least 30 years. At
this time, the parish team was sometimes referred to as "Squire
Land's Club", after Squire Thomas Land who was apparently the
main organiser of Y teams in the village before the foundation of the
club proper.From the mid-1760s, X's stature grew till by the late
1770s it was the foremost Y club in England. In spite of its relative
remoteness, it had developed into a private club of noblemen and
country gentry, for whom one of Y's attractions was the opportunity it
offered for betting. Although some of these occasionally played in
matches, professional players were mainly employed.The club
produced several famous players including John Small, Thomas
Brett, Richard Nyren, David Harris, Tom Taylor, Billy Beldham and
Tom Walker.

13 X, Honored Master of Sports of the USSR, ten-time finswimming World
Record-breaker, is better known in the former USSR for one particular
day of his life, September 16, 1976. On that day, training with his
brother Kamo, also a finswimmer, by running alongside the Yerevan
Lake, X had just completed his usual distance of 20 km (12 miles) when
he heard the sound of the crash and saw the sinking trolleybus which
had gone out of control and fallen from the dam wall.

The trolleybus lay at the bottom of the reservoir some 25 meters (80 ft)
off the shore at a depth of 10 meters. X swam to it and, under
conditions of almost zero visibility due to the silt rising from the bottom,
broke the back window with his legs. The trolleybus was crowded, it
carried 92 passengers and X knew he had little time, spending some 30
to 35 seconds for each person he saved.
X managed to rescue 20 people, but this was the end of his sports
career: the combined effect of cold water and the multiple wounds he
received, left him lying unconscious for 45 days, with subsequent lung
complications preventing him from continuing his sports career.

Compiègne. During her youth, she suffered from numerous health
problems including chronic asthma, which also plagued her at a
later age. Because his daughter was so frail and sickly, Charles ,

for her to have some physical activity and gain strength. Her first
try was in 1910 at the family property in Marest-sur-Matz. The
young girl enjoyed a lot, and her father decided to train her
further. His training methods included an exercise where, the
story goes, he would lay down a handkerchief at various places
on the surface, to which his daughter had to aim. Who?

George X (born July 4, 1930) is a
businessman and owner and former
principal executive of Major League
Baseball's New York Yankees. His
outspokenness and role in driving up
player salaries have made him one of
the sport's most controversial figures.

X is known as a hands-on executive.


His tendency to meddle in daily on-field
decisions, and to hire and fire (and
sometimes re-hire) managers led then-
Yankees skipper Dallas Green to give
him the derisive nickname "Manager
George".

During X's ownership since 1973, the


longest in club history, the Yankees
have earned 11 pennants and 7 World
Series titles.
