I was looking for free downloads of audio books for a long flight and stumbled upon Benjamin Franklin's essay "The morals of chess" read by Alex Wilson. In the essay, Franklin writes about chess, life, and in particular sportsmanship. I am sometimes wondering if people really used to behave like gentlemen in the "good old times". Of course, Franklin could not foresee modern computer cheating techniques but it was interesting to listen to the audio book anyway. Take a look at this page for more information and the free download from telltaleweekly.org.

Welcome! Make sure to check some of the other audio books there, too. They have some classical works for relatively low prices, some for free.
