Well lemme see. Kamsky is at NYU becoming a doctor. Joshua Waitzkin
is become quite the martial artist and those are quite exemplary
accomplishments. Should I go on............. It is very arrogant to
compare him with these guys now because there is no comparison and no
one is so called jealous. A 14 year old kid with a lousy attitude and
can play a game ( supposedly well ) doesn't give them the right to
treat people like, uh, hmmmmm. Pawns? Especially the people around
him who think they can do that also.

Great for them, but they were both touted as future CHESS champions.

My point was that Nakamura is the real CHESS deal, while the other "prodigies"
didn't pan out (Kamsky wasn't American except by emigration).

Nakamura looks like he'll either become world champion or seriously threaten
the title.

A 14 year old kid with a lousy attitude

Says who?

Perhaps he doesn't like mock humility?

Ever see the college football powerhouse coaches who talk up their weak
opponents?

Hearing Joe Paterno talk about how difficult it's going to be to defeat Patsy
St. is even more annoying.

I don't recall Mr. Nakamura ever asking for the approval of anyone.

He seems to show up at chess tournaments to WIN. How he conducts himself in
his personal life is his business, and if his method of playing is within the
rules, it shouldn't bother anyone.


Especially the people around
him who think they can do that also.

Do what?

Now your talking up my alley. There isn't much difference between
Division 1 and Division 1a. All this talk this year about Ohio State
and the national champions. They got a freak call in the game but
Miami turned over the ball 5 times so the call wouldn't have mattered
if they didn't turn the ball over. Ohio state won by a miracle over
Cincinnati in there so called championship year. When Paterno speaks
people listen and he knows what he is talking about because I've seen
Penn State play and have seen them lose to the so called patzers your
talking about like " Toledo". And besides Paterno is not just any
ordinary college coach. He shows respect to others unlike Hikaru who
doesn't. Hikaru hasn't accomplished anything yet. Paterno is the
greatest college football coach since Papa Bear Bryant. And when he
says the so called Patsy st. is going to be tough he truly means it.
