"Kasparov rather nervously asked me if I had a rating. I replied 2084
and he, not looking very happy, asked why I didn't write it down in
front of the board next to my name. I replied that no one asked me too
and that the Belzberg people knew my rating and only today OK my
playing since I am a client. He then stated that if he had known I was
rated that highly he would have played differently rather than getting
into a very theoretical line. Being aware of the 2000 cutoff I again
appologized for the misunderstanding and we quickly realized that the
Belzberg staff had erred in not telling people to write down their
ratings (these were different people than from the NYC event). I
simply stated "I'm sorry for the confusion, I won't play " and started
to get up and Garry, reiterating that he'd have played differently vs
a rated expert, started resetting the pieces to the starting position
and said we can restart. Being rather shocked by this and what was
over a minute of commotion and confusion I knew the gentlemanly thing
for me to do was to step away and let someone else under 2000 play."


"gentlemanly"? ROFL you sir are no gentleman! You are a COWARD and a PHONEY!
You, a mere garden-variety expert, have an opportunity to play a second game
with one of the greatest chess minds ever and you act with such pomposity as
to decline? Jackasses like you make me sick to my stomach! You try to play
the role of everyone's "moral superiour" but in reality you are just a
little chicken **** hypocrite. Do us all a favour and find a hole in the
ground to bury your head in!!
