Not more than one or two posts back, Dr. IM Innes

O come on! speak your opinions about the topic! Or or you a rat of a
different color?

If you cannot stand the light, then retreat back into the
shadows with the other creepy-crawlies.


loudly proclaimed *in favor of* voicing opinions; but it
seems that he always backracks when those same
opinions are not to his personal liking. Clownish stuff.

Let's just see if any substantiation turns up.

Substantiation of what?

Exactly. Dr. IM Innes, Esq. has no clue what I
was talking about, but he does know his job; that
is, to "hound" anyone who is not toeing the ratpack
party line. If anyone dares ask for verification of
tossed out charges by someone on a certain list
of names, it is hound dog Innes' job to bark and
howl at them.

Let me see... oh yes: I was of course talking
about an unsupported claim by Nigel Short that
somewhere out there is a confession of cheating
by Zurab A...vili. Having never heard of this
incident before, I was curious to know if such a
confession actually exists, or if NS was making
that up as part of his ad hominem attack -- you
know, to "add heft", as one Evans ratpacker likes
to say.

One reason this interests me is that this ZA
character seems to be an elected or appointed
official of some sort at FIDE, so you can imagine
that from my perspective, this is another litmus
test of "how low can FIDE go?", versus "is Nigel
Short a low-class dreg?". I, of course, do not
consider the studious avoidance of this issue as
evidence one way or the other, since the Evans
ratpackers are in some cases not even bright
enough to comprehend a simple question! LOL

what is a 'claim'? sounds like a Blair word to me. I thought he asked a
question.

OK. You say you are curious...

it depends on you if people you disparage also have curiosity? you see, you
always sink your own ship by 'ratting' on yourself.

Is that how you characterise world chess affairs in the cornfields?

what was your simple question? i am sorry, but you seemed to bury it in
words. if you have a simple question where you are do you go to someone and
call them a rat, then still demand an answer to your satisfaction.

elsewhere, i can tell you, people who don't know but would like to know,
keep open minds, and if they did as you did, in person, would get a smack
in the mouth -- alternatively be dismissed as a kid

its a choice

Of course, nearly-an-IMbicile Innes has no quote
of me making any such "demand".

Bingo. This is why I dismiss the studious
avoidance of any answer by stupid ratpackers as
no evidence one way or the other. I wait for the
proof to come in, however long it may take. Heck,
for all I know this may have appeared in Chess Life
a year or two ago.

LOL. Of course, were these "people" to be, say, Josh
Waitzkin or Chuck Norris, it would be run-and-hide time
for brave-pretender Innes! In fact, I expect even Skippy
Repa would send brave Sir Robin Innes off on a fast hop-
skip (see The Onion Field) and away. When it comes to
talking the talk, Sir IM Innes is the man; but when it comes
to real life? We all see the nearly-a-2450-in-his-dreams as
a decent Class A player, but not as John Wayne. Get a
grip, fella; you don't frighten anyone except the perhaps
psychologists.

THE ILLEGAL SPEECH

"FIDE deputy president Georgios Makropoulos and vice-president Zurab
Azmaiparashvili spent more time in San Luis at their hotel 16 km away
than they did in the tournament hall
despite being paid thousands of dollars, plus considerable expenses,
to do their job on the Appeal's Committee. It came as absolutely no
surprise to me that these dunderheads would flunk the first crisis
that they were presented with i.e. Elista toiletgate. I might add that
Azmai is singularly inappropriate for such work having, by his own
admission, cheated in winning the 2003 European Championship".

You can kill journalists, deny nations entry into FIDE, lie, cheat,
and steal, money, but a Russian murderer doesn't want to be called a
DUNDERHEAD.

Marcus Roberts

I wonder if Short, who I think married a Greek and lives in Greece,
speaks Greek? By now he should know a few Greek swear words, and can
call Georgios Makropoulos --who is Greek-- something stronger than
DUNDERHEAD. How about "MALAKA" (masturbator)? Well maybe that's not
that so strong, since everybody uses that term in Greece. The real
question: is Short a provocateur, or a jerk off? Is he a Master
Baiter or a Masturbator? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Masturbator
He is a damn fine chess player, insofar as I can tell when I watch him
play online (he's yet to lose a game when I watch).

In short, master Short needs to refine his swear words.

I watched a movie about "the Queen" recently. It seemed
to me to *obsess* over Princess Dianna, and as a result,
was not so much about the Queen as it was about how the
mass media are the real rulers these days.

Look, I hear Elton John and God knows who else was
awarded the title "Sir"; as it has now been cheapened to
the point of meaninglessness, it would be a fitting title for
a man such as yourself, IMO.

Was it not Nigel Short who went around claiming that
he had played Bobby Fischer over the internet at ICC?
I believe it was he who lost repeatedly to an unknown
opponent, and wrote it off to the fellow on the other end
being former world champ BF (who later denied having
*ever* played this way).

"My proof that it was Fischer is that he knew the
answer to ten billion questions offhand, including how
to convincingly refute the French Defense, the revised
bust of the King's Gambit (quite convincing as well), why
the Caro Kann is worthless, and even how to cook duck
flambou in white wine sauce, the way Regina Fischer
always used to."

I believe it was in 1988 that a world blitz championship
was held, and I can't even recall if GM Short played. In
any case, there is no reason to believe that GM Fischer
could bash him at blitz at his advanced age. My take is
that it was probably GM Larry Evans on ICC.

Yeah, I vaguely recall this a while ago.

Regina Fischer must have been his mom, right? Since Fischer married a
Japanese girl only recently. Trivia: Barbara Strisand and Fischer
went to the same high school.

Larry Evans is good at blitz? That's interesting. I thought he was
an old geezer and that blitz is a young man's game--I would have taken
Short over Evans.

Bot seems like you know a lot of good chess gossip. Sorry if I flamed
you in that thread where we were determing who the best chess players
were, according to how Crafty rated their championship games (well,
then again you were wrong and I was clearly right in that
thread...hahaha).

Yes, I think that was Short. As I recall, he later conceded that
he'd been duped.
