Welcome to my home page! |
Hi! | ||
My name is Bill Price. |
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...
An unpublished Bobby Fischer game score, my voluminous chess library, an encounter with David Bronstein, some scintillating chess problems, and more.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". | ||||

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. | ||||
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. | ||||

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. |
