Hi!
	My name is Bill Price.

I'm a retired computer programmer, and my main interests are chess and foreign languages.  I grew up in Iowa, lived a few years in Germany, and then moved to Southern California, where I currently reside.  Below are some things that may be of interest to a few of you eclectic netsurfers...

Chess Stuff					Language Stuff
Previously unpublished Bobby Fischer game scores, my voluminous chess library, an encounter with David Bronstein, some scintillating chess problems, and more.					Here you can see some of my personal impressions of world languages, as well as an overview of my own language, "Vabungula".
Math Stuff					Music Stuff
I'm no mathematician, but sometimes I like to pretend that I am. Here are some ideas that have occupied my mind from time to time.					I have dabbled around in music throughout the years, composing little tunes on the piano. Here's a modest collection of some midi files to illustrate.
Art Gallery					Miscellaneous Writings
Take a look at some of my ornate doodles. Seeing one for the first time, most people ask me, "What is it?" I never know how to answer.					So far, I have included my grandmother's memoirs, a tribute to Willie Speaks, my memories of Marienfelde, and some thoughts on turning 50.
Burr Oak, Iowa					Home on the Farm
Just north of the farm where I grew up is the small village of Burr Oak, Iowa, which was once the home of Laura Ingalls Wilder.					I grew up on a farm in the northeast corner of Iowa, near the predominately Norwegian community of Decorah.  The area is noted for its idyllic scenery.

Genealogy Notes

For the few of you who may be interested, here is some of my genealogical research on the Price and Krumm families.
