# Ruy Lopez
## Ruy Lopez Arkhangelsk/Møller Variations

The move ...b5 is seen at some point in most variations of the main line Ruy Lopez, so Black has a few transpositional possibilities here: 6...d6 or 6...Be7 will probably end up in the standard Closed Variation (5...Be7 6. Re1 b5) and 6...Nxe4 almost certainly leads back to the Open Variation.
Basically, replacing ...Be7 with ...b5 means that Black has retained the option of setting up bishops at b7 and c5. The two independent moves, therefore, are the Arkhangelsk 6...Bb7 and the Møller 6...Bc5. They may transpose into each other.
It's always to Black's advantage to have something to play against the Lopez other than the old main lines, which is why these two sound, aggressive variations, along with 5...Bc5, have experienced a major revival of late.

# Ruy Lopez
## Arkhangelsk Variation

Black elects to fianchetto his light-square bishop in order to gain pressure against White's kingside and center. This has the added benefit of defending the rook on a8, thereby taking some of the sting out of a future a4 thrust by White. However, the activity of Black's fianchettoed bishop can be countered by White overprotecting e4. Thus the most common reply by White in recent years has been 7. d3, after which Black typically develops his other bishop to either e7 or c5. The latter leads to positions which can also be reached from the Neo-Arkhangelsk (6...Bc5), though 6...Bb7 7. d3 Bc5 is the more common order. With a pawn on d3, White does not need to bring a rook to e1 in the near term, and so his queen's knight often travels to the kingside via c3 (from where d5 also becomes an option) and e2 rather than d2 and f1, since White does not wish to spend a tempo clearing the f1 square.
7. Re1 shares the idea of overprotecting e4 and allows White's queen's knight to take the traditional route; in this variation White intends to forge ahead with c3, d4, and Nbd2-f1-g3, though this knight maneuver will require the insertion of Be3 first if Black's dark-squared bishop has come to the a7-g1 diagonal. If White is not in a rush to develop the queen's knight, his dark-square bishop may instead develop to g5. This line is the oldest variation of the Arkhangelsk, having been played in the 1950 game in which Paul Keres, as black, sprung the then-novel Arkhangelsk on Alexander Kotov.
7. d4 is an old try at immediately refuting Black's move order by preventing an immediate ... Bc5, but after 7...Nxd4, either 8. Nxd4 exd4 or the trickier 8. Bxf7+ Kxf7 9. Nxe5+ Kg8 10. Qxd4 c5 11. Qd1 Qe8 12. Nf3 Qxe4 leaves White with no real advantage.
After 7. c3, Black has scored well playing greedily with 7...Nxe4 8. d4 exd4, though the resulting positions are quite tactically complex. The more common move is 8...Na5.

# Chess Opening Theory/1. e4/1...e5/2. Nf3/2...Nc6/3. Bb5/3...a6/4. Ba4/4...Nf6/5. d3
## 5. d3

White doesn't want to attack immediately with O-O, c3, and d4. They instead want to attack after building an impregnable fortress that offers no chances for counterplay. Though passive and harmless-looking, this move defends the e4-pawn and makes Bxc6 followed by Nxe5 a reality. Black must therefore either defend e5 or run off White's a4 bishop. Simplest is 5...b5, which removes the threat of Bxc6 but loosens Black's queenside pawns, inviting a later a4 thrust by White. Black can instead solidify their crucial e5 pawn with 5...d6, but this pins the c6 knight and restricts the f8 bishop. Finally, Black can protect e5 more actively with 5...Bc5, where 6. Bxc6 dxc6 7. Nxe5 can be met with 7...Qd4; however, other White responses, such as 6. c3, will often lead Black back to a choice between ...d6 and ...b5.

# Morphy Defence

Black has taken back the initiative and has to make an important strategic choice.
    The most intuitive way to go on is to put pressure on the e4 pawn with 5...Nf6 or 5...Bb7.
    If Black really wants to get rid of the white bishop, he can try the Norwegian Defence 5...Na5, a line that can become very sharp if White tries the Bxf7+ sacrifice.
    Another classical way to go on is 5...Bc5.

# Ruy Lopez:Riga Variation

White has just advanced his c pawn into the center, threatening to pull one of Black's d pawns away.
Black can choose to take the pawn with either the d5 or d4 pawn, or ignore White's threat of cxd5, which intends to remove the defender from the pinned e4 knight.
If Black chooses to take en passant with 8...dxc3, White can respond Nxc3, putting another attacker on the pinned e4 knight.
The response 8...Bb4 9.cxd5 Bxe1 10.Qxe1 Qxd5 11.Bb3 Qf5 is more advisable for Black.

# Ruy Lopez
## Modern-Arkhangelsk Variation

Black wagers that his dark-square bishop is more active here, while his light-square bishop may yet wish to develop along either diagonal. Transpositions to the Old Arkhangelsk (6...Bb7) are common, but there are independent lines involving ...Bg4 as well. White's main ideas in the position are a4, attacking the weak b5 pawn at once, c3 followed by d4, gaining central space and taking a tempo off Black's c5 bishop, or some combination. Also played, but less critical, are 7. Nc3 and 7. d3. The central fork trick 7. Nxe5 leaves white without the prospect of greater central control than his pawn on e4 can provide.

# Arabic/LearnRW/fatHa and Yaa
## ـَي

So what if we want to write the "a" sound in "fate". The fatHa alone will not do that job. In reality the "a" sound in fate, includes a "y" sound in it. So a fatHa followed by a yaa with no vowel on it will make the "a" sound in "fate". We transliterate this with "ai". Examples:
كَي (pronounced: kai ) Sounds exactly like the letter "k"
تـَي (pronounced: tai )
وَي (pronounced: wai ) Sounds exactly like the word "way"
مَي (pronounced: mai ) Sounds exactly like the word "may"
سَي (pronounced: sai ) Sounds exactly like the word "say"

## More examples

مَيْكَي (pronounced: mai-kai )
تـَيْرَي (pronounced: tai-rai )
يَي (pronounced: yai )
يـِي (pronounced: yee )
تـَي (pronounced: tai )
# Arabic/LearnRW/taa' MarbooTah

Arabic words ending in tâ' marbûTa (ـة/ة) are usually of feminine gender. It looks like a combination of hâ' (ه) and tâ' (ت). It usually comes at the end of the word.

## Example

tâ' marbûTa has two ways of being pronounced:
* When the word is said by itself, it is pronounced as an 'h': zawjah (زوجةة).
* If you add on a grammatical suffix or iDâfa takes place, it is pronounced like tâ': zawjati (زَوْجَتيِ) = my wife; zawjat 'aHmad (زَوْجَة أَحْمَد) = wife of Ahmad. The ة cannot connect to the next letter of a word. For example, in زوجة.

## Usage

Although it is incorrect, some people while writing informally may write Tied Ta' as Ha'ـه/ه. Also, in Egyptian Arabic and many other dialects of today's spoken Arabic (I'm not sure but I can say all of the dialects excluding Standard Arabic), it is always pronounced as ha'هـ. (Called heh in Egyptian Arabic. Ta' marbutah is called teh marbutah in Egyptian Arabic.)

## Notes

1- You can make Tanween to a Tied Taa', but you can't make Tanween to a Haa'. Because of their sense of Arabic, this fact is sometimes used by students (or, at least, taught to them) to help them know whether a word ends in Taa' marbutah or Haa'. When a sentence ends in taa marboota, only then the last letter is silenced for waqf, so it changes into haa.

# Arabic/LearnRW/hamza and Superscript Alif

The hamza is the symbol that is a عين (rħain) with no tail. It looks like this:ء The hamza is best thought of as a vowel separator.
The hamza is not a letter by itself, even though it makes a consonant sound.
The hamza is on either a ياء (yaa') or an ألف (alif) or a واو (waaw) or is by itself. ئ / ؤ / أ / إ / ء
Arabic writing makes sense, but the hamza's carriers cannot be figured out by just hearing. One has to either know the hamza spelling rules or have seen enough Arabic words to know how a word would be spelt. And there do exist spelling rules to figure out whether and which letter a hamza should go over.
But most people don't know the rules of the hamza, and they don't need to. They can spell fine without being able to explain why.
Often people wonder why is the hamza carried by other letters at all. Here is a short explanation:
Whenever a word starts with a vowel in Arabic an alif was written.
And in the old accents, people probably didn't pronounce the hamza anywhere else in a word. for example: فائز faa-iz- meaning winner مؤمن mu'min meaning (religious) believer
were not pronounced in that manner
instead it was: faa-yiz or moomin
So if the hamza existed on a yaa' that means that the different dialects pronounced it like a yaa' instead of a hamza'. You can still hear this pronounciaction very often in Arabic dialects for many words.
# Arabic/LearnRW/kasra and yaa
## kasra
### Appearance

It is a line that goes on the bottom of a letter. It looks exactly like a fatHa, but it goes under the letter. It always exists with a letter, it cannot be alone.
بِ (pronounced: be )
كِ (pronounced: ki )
هِيَ (pronounced: hi-ya )
تِـتـِتِ (pronounced:ti-ti-ti )

### Sound

It makes the "i" sound in bit. It never makes the "i" sound in "I". It sounds like the "ee" in "beet" pronounced very shortly. It is a short vowel.

## kasra and yaa

ـِي (pronounced:ee )
If a plain (with no symbols on it) ي (yaa) comes after a kasra, then the "ee" sound is made. This "ee" sound is exactly the same sound as the "ee" sound in "feet". It is a long vowel sound.
بـِي (pronounced: bee )
كِي (pronounced: kee )
هِي (pronounced: hee )
تِي (pronounced: tee )
ثِي (pronounced: thee )
ثِـيتِي (pronounced:thee-tee )
The same sound would be made if the "yaa" had something called a sukoon on it (this will be covered later).Examples:
ْبـِي (pronounced: bee )
ْكِي (pronounced: kee )
BUT if the yaa has anything else on it then it will not make the "ee" sound.
َبـِي (pronounced: bi-ya )
ُكِي (pronounced: ki-yu )
ِبـِي (pronounced: bi-yi )
ثِـيُرَ (pronounced:thi-yu-ra )

## More difficult examples

يـِي (pronounced: yee )
يُو (pronounced: yoo )
وِي (pronounced: wee )
يُوَ (pronounced: yu-wa )
يا (pronounced: yaa )
# Arabic/Masculine and feminine

Arabic words are either masculine or feminine. For example: رجل (ra-jul) which means man is masculine. امرأة (im-ra-ah) which means woman is feminine. These two examples are very logical. But just like many other languages, everyday objects have their own gender as well. For example, the word for ear must be either masculine or feminine.
The most common way to tell a masculine word from a feminine word is the ة (taa' mar-boo-Tah). If a word ends in a ة (h/t) then it is most likely feminine. To make a masculine word feminine usually a ة (h/t) is added to the end of the word.
For example:
كلب
kalb kalb dog
كلبة
kalba/kalbah kal-ba female dog, she-dog
In Arabic nouns, as well as adjectives, have to agree in gender, as well as number.
For example:
الولد كبـيـر
al_waladu kabeer(un) al-wa-la-du-ka-beer The boy is big
البنت كبيـرة
al_bint kabeerah(-tun) al-bint-ka-bee-rah The girl is big.
Did you notice that we called the girl "big" with كبيرة (ka-bee-rah) while when we want to say the boy is big we said كبير(ka-beer). This is generally how it works for singular nouns.
الولد صغير
al_waladu Sagheer(un) al-wa-la-du-Sa-gheer The boy is small
البنت صغيرة
al_bintu Sagheerah(-tun) al-bin-tu-Sa-ghee-rah The girl is small.
الولد طويل والبنت طويلة
al_waladu Taweel al_bintu Taweelah(-tun) al-wa-la-du—Ta-weel—wal-bin-tu—Ta-wee-lah The boy is Tall, and the girl is tall.
# Arabic/Lesson 1
## A Conversation

John is visiting an Arabic country when he is approached by a man named Abdullah. Abdullah greets John, who speaks very little Arabic, and a conversation begins.
عبدالله: السلام عليكم جون: وعليكم السلام. هل تتكلم إنجليزي؟ .عبد الله: لا، آسف جون: عفوا.

## Transliteration

Abdul Allah: as-salaamu 'alaykum
John: wa 'alaykum as-salaam. hal tatakallam ingileezee?
Abdul Allah: laa, aasif.
John: 'aHfwan. laa atkallam 'aHrabee kateer. ma' as-salaama.
Adbul Allah: ma' as-salaama. furSa sa'iida.

## Translation

Abdullah: Peace be on you.
John: And on you be peace. Do you speak English?
Abdullah: No, sorry.
John: Don't mention it. I don't speak much Arabic. Goodbye.
Adbullah: Goodbye. Happy to have met you.
# Arabic/LearnRW/laam-alif

Laam-alif is a ligature. When a ل (laam) comes before an ا (alif) in a word, they automatically come together and form laam-alif. Laam-alif isn't a letter; it's how the two letters, laam and then alif are written together.

# Beyond Blender Render/What You Need

| • Table of Contents | next module: "Story's The Story" |
So what do you need to make Blender Games? Here I shall explain:

## Blender For Your OS

Number one: an OS (operating system). The best would be Linux, Windows, or MacOS. Next you should get Blender. Head to their site at www.blender.org and then look for the downloads page. Run down the page and find Blender for your OS. Download it and if you need to install, do so.

## Next We Need GIMP

Not necessarily GIMP. Blender uses a system called UV Texturing. With this you can apply images to objects. To make these images you will need a reasonably good image editor such as GIMP. You can also download images from the web, but this may cause a run-in with licensing.

## Other Stuff
### Story

You will need an idea. You can play around with tutorials and experiment but if you really want to release a good game you need to have a name, a game play idea and maybe even a story. If you're stumped at this you can use a quick version of mine.

### A Good Imagination

You or someone on your team needs a good imagination. Using this you can imagine the landscape, gameplay, story, and menus of your game. Most importantly this can help with programming your game.

# Bible Stories/The Birth of Jesus

When Joseph heard that Mary was pregnant, he knew it was not his baby, so he planned to quietly divorce her. Before he could do that, an angel appeared to him in a dream.
The angel said, "Joseph, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. What is in her has been conceived by the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son. Name him Jesus, because he will save the people from their sins."
So Joseph married her and took her home as his wife, but he did not sleep with her until she had given birth.
About the time Mary was to give birth, the Roman government told everyone to go to the town of their ancestors for a census. Mary and Joseph had to make a long journey from where they lived in Nazareth to Bethlehem.
When they arrived in Bethlehem, there was no place to stay. The only room they could find was a place where animals stayed. The baby was born there and his mother laid him in a feeding trough, since they did not have a bed for him. They named him Jesus.
That night, there were some shepherds in a nearby field watching their flocks. Suddenly, a shining angel appeared to them, and they were terrified. The angel said, "Do not be afraid, because I have some good news for you. The Messiah has been born!"
"Go search for the baby, and you will find him wrapped in pieces of cloth and lying in a manger." Suddenly, the skies were filled with angels singing and praising God, saying, "Glory to God in heaven and peace on earth to the people He favors!"
When the shepherds arrived at the place where Jesus was, they found him lying in a manger, just as the angel had told them. They were very excited. Mary was very happy, too. The shepherds returned to the fields, praising God for all they had heard and seen.
Some time later, wise men from countries far to the east saw an unusual star in the sky. They realized it meant a new king of the Jews was born. So, they traveled a great distance to see this king. They came to Bethlehem and found the place where Jesus was living.
When they saw Jesus with his mother, they fell down and worshiped him. They gave Jesus expensive gifts. Then they returned home.
