Did You know?

The wolf never eats corpses, neither animals, nor people; it spends its whole life with a partner, it does not mate with its mother or sister; it is a monogamous animal, it does not deceive.

If a partner dies, the wolf remains alone; it knows its young ones well: it is the only animal that helps their parents after deep old age and brings them food.

When you kill a wolf, it looks you in the eye until its soul gives out; it's 25% smarter than the smarter dog, and it's the only animal that doesn't obey training, they say...

sometimes the bad thing in the movie is not how they portray it.

AN UNFORGETTABLE CHESS MATCH IN 1924

This extraordinary chess match took place in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) in 1924. In this particular game, the chess pieces have been replaced by people, giving the event a unique and spectacular touch. The match was played by chess masters Peter Romanovsky and Ilya Rabinovich, two of the most famous chess masters of their time.

The game lasted a total of five hours and took place on a giant open-air chess board set up in the square in front of the Winter Palace.

This type of chess game was part of an annual event created to promote chess in the Soviet Union.

The first such event took place in Smolensk in 1921 and quickly became a popular event.

The aim was to stimulate public interest in chess and promote strategic thinking among spectators.

It is unknown who won the match in St. Petersburg in 1924.

Chess is not just a game, but is valued as an intellectual challenge and a means of promoting education and strategic thinking.

The choice of Leninegrad as the venue for this chess match was no coincidence. The city was a cultural and intellectual center of the Soviet Union and offered the perfect setting for such an event.

What incredible data, it must have been a spectacle to be able to observe that game, chess ♟️ is one of the best games of intellectual development and strategy. It should be mandatory in schools for children to learn to play from a young age.

It's the best, when I was younger I thought it was a boring game and I wasn't interested, but then I had my daughter and curiously she is an innate lover of chess, one day she found out about the existence of this game and since then she has been very interested, we gave her a chess set and since then she loves it and I learned to play it because of her, I got this curious fact by searching for information about chess to be able to teach my daughter.

The non-cinemaric but theoretically the most dangerous event in the universe is Gamma Ray Burst. It is not being discussed in Hollywood Movies since it is hard to execute cinematically. FYI it will not turn you into Incredible Hulk. Not ever.

The heart of a blue whale is as big as a car. The heart of a blue whale weighs about 600 kilograms and is the size of a small car, like a Volkswagen Beetle. With a rate of 8–10 beats per minute, the blue whale's heartbeat can be heard from over 3.2 kilometers away. Its arteries are so large that a full-grown human could swim through them!
