Judo is my other passion and so my profile photo is actually a picture of Dr. Jigoro Kano, the founder of Judo. There are many similarities between a judo match and a chess game. In both, you face a single opponent on a level field with only your own personal resources at your command. The contest, ultimately, teaches you more about yourself than it does about your adversary.
