They found him where the fighting had been the worst. Alone. Rifle empty. Magazines spent. And 23 enemy soldiers lying around his position. Private First Class Gary Martini was just 19 years old in April 1967 when his unit was ambushed in Vietnam. The jungle erupted with gunfire. Grenades exp|*ded. The line began to buckle under heavy attack. Martini did not pull back. He stayed where he was and returned fire. Wave after wave came at his position. He fired until his magazines were empty. Then he reloaded. Then fired again. The enemy tried to break through his sector. He would not let them. Somewhere in that storm of bullets and smoke, he was fatally w*unded. When the battle ended and his fellow soldiers moved through the wreckage, they found him still at his post. Around him lay 23 enemy bodies. He had held the line almost single handedly. He was 19. Nineteen. Most teenagers worry about school, about the future, about small things. Gary Martini faced d**th and refused to give ground. His stand bought time for his unit. Time to regroup. Time to survive. For his actions, he was awarded the Medal of Honor. looked like. A young soldier, alone in a jungle clearing, fighting until there was nothing left to fire. He did not run. He did not surrender. He fought until the end. Back home, his name faded with the years. The war became a chapter in a textbook. The faces became numbers. But once, in a violent clearing in Vietnam, a 19 year old stood his ground against overwhelming odds. 🫡🙏

On 20th of April 1976, R.B. Ramesh was born! 50 years ago! He became a GM at the age of 27 years in 2003. In 2002, he had won the British Championships, and in 2007 he became the Commonwealth Champion. In 2008, he took a bold step in his chess career. He gave up playing chess and started a chess academy and named it Chess Gurukul. He also gave up his job in Indian Oil (IOCL) around the same point. Many told him that this was a dangerous decision. But Ramesh had 2 things going for him: 1. He loved coaching 2. His better half WGM Aarthie Ramaswamy was also ready to support him in this endeavour! With his immense chess knowledge, willingness to learn and ability to work extremely hard, Ramesh created the base for a real chess boom of Indian chess! Players like Praggnanandhaa, Vaishali, Aravindh Chithambaram, Karthikeyan Murali, Bharat Subramaniyam and many others grew up at his academy! There was a point when almost every single rising talent of Indian chess wanted to work with him. Today as Ramesh celebrates his 50th birthday, it is interesting to see the road he has travelled. Vaishali is going to play the World Championship Match in a few days! He also received the Dronacharya award recently. He started a completely free chess academy named Chola Chess to develop the next generation of Indian chess. Thank you Ramesh for powering Indian chess! Your contribution to the growth of the sport in the country has been immense. Wishing you a very happy 50th birthday. Photo: Tushar Damor #chess #chessbaseindia #rameshchess

A truck driver in Australia once won $250,000 on a scratch card while pretending to win a scratch card for a TV news crew. He didn’t know the ticket was real until he scratched the last panel. He turned to the camera, completely flat, and said, “I just won $250,000. I’m not joking.” Then, holding his chest, “I think I’ll have another heart attack.” The “another” was the part most viewers missed. A year earlier Bill Morgan had been in a serious accident, developed a heart condition from it, had an allergic reaction to the medication that was supposed to fix it, and his heart had stopped for 14 minutes and 38 seconds. Paramedics revived him. He slipped into a coma. His family was told to prepare to turn off life support after 12 days. The day they were going to make the decision, he woke up. Fully himself with no brain damage. Within twelve months he got engaged, found work again, bought a $5 scratch card on a whim, and won a Toyota Corolla worth around $30,000 Australian dollars. That was the win that brought Nine News out to film him. They asked him to re-enact the car-winning moment in the same shop. He picked a fresh ticket off the counter at random for the re-creation. Scratched it. Won the jackpot. The cameraman thought he was acting until he saw the numbers. The shop staff opened champagne. Bill called his fiancée from the counter and told her they could now buy a house. She later said, on camera herself, “I just hope he hasn’t used all his good luck up.” She’s been with him for 27 years. They still live in the house. He’s in his mid-sixties, retired due to ongoing heart issues and arthritis, and he still walks down to the same kind of corner shop every week and buys a $5 scratch ticket. He doesn’t expect to win again. “I’ve had a bonus of 22 years,” he says. “Even if I’m not real well I shuffle down the road and smell the roses, look at the sun, and think about how lucky I am.”
