Hi! 
German language version My name is Bill Price.  Russian language version (KOI-8 encoding)

I'm a 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

An unpublished Bobby Fischer game score, my voluminous chess library, an encounter with David Bronstein, some scintillating chess problems, and more.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

Art Gallery

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. 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.

Miscellaneous Writings

Favorite Links

So far, I have included my grandmother's memoirs, a  tribute to Willie Speaks, my memories of Marienfelde, and some thoughts on turning 50. Here are some of my favorite places to go when I am surfing the net. Interesting websites, foreign languages, my kind of humor, and more. 

Home on the Farm

Burr Oak, Iowa

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. 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.
