I was killing Bulawayo Zimbabwe but I wasn't watching my clock until it was too late and I lost the game when my clock ran out. Lots of interesting stuff at Bulawayo.

Humans are destroying this planet and it's going to get worse.

I just lost a chess game against a very strong chessplayer who lives in Harare, Zimbabwe. I looked it up. It's a very nice place.

Zimbabwe is beautiful but it used to be much better.

Environmental issues

Large parts of Zimbabwe were once covered by forests with abundant wildlife. Deforestation and poaching has reduced the amount of wildlife. Woodland degradation and deforestation, due to population growth, urban expansion and lack of fuel, are major concerns and have led to erosion and land degradation which diminish the amount of fertile soil. Local farmers have also been criticized by environmentalists for burning off vegetation to heat their tobacco barns.

After a very interesting chess game I found out my opponent lives in Zimbabwe and there is a Zimbabwe Chess Federation. It's a beautiful country.

I just played a chess game against someone in Zimbabwe, Africa. As usual I looked it up.

Zimbabwe is a landlocked country in southern Africa known for its dramatic landscape and diverse wildlife, much of it within parks, reserves and safari areas. On the Zambezi River, Victoria Falls make a thundering 108m drop into narrow Batoka Gorge, where there’s white-water rafting and bungee-jumping. Downstream are Matusadona and Mana Pools national parks, home to hippos, rhinos and birdlife.

They're having some political problems.

I'm more interested in their national parks. From Wikipedia:

The country is mostly savannah, although the moist and mountainous eastern highlands support areas of tropical evergreen and hardwood forests. Trees found in these Eastern Highlands include teak, mahogany, enormous specimens of strangling fig, forest newtonia, big leaf, white stinkwood, chirinda stinkwood, knobthorn and many others.

In the low-lying parts of the country fever trees, mopane, combretum and baobabs abound. Much of the country is covered by miombo woodland, dominated by brachystegia species and others. Among the numerous flowers and shrubs are hibiscus, flame lily, snake lily, spider lily, leonotus, cassia, tree wisteria and dombeya. There are around 350 species of mammals that can be found in Zimbabwe. There are also many snakes and lizards, over 500 bird species, and 131 fish species.
