I was just wondering, how can we promote chess when chessplayers
threaten to kill each other?

I mean, once the death threat is made, who cares about Chess?

Perhaps this needs to be part of my speech in June, if I survive May?

How can we promote chess when you vote for a murderer?

Ray Gordon

I don't get this. How can you accuse a man of murder who has never been
convicted of murder? Offer some proof on this newsgroup, or accept the
fact that you can't prove your charge. Does the concept of innocence
until guilt is proven mean anything to you?

I am voting for the best candidate. In my opinion, the best candidate
is FIDE President Kirsan Ilyumzhinov. FIDE needs a head of state with
the contacts he has to lead. FIDE needs high powered leaders with
contacts.

Your solution is to threaten to kill a diplomat of a small nation that
means you ABSOLUTELY no harm, merely for their vote. St Kitts and Nevis
has peaceful people. We have an excellent human rights record. We are
the least of your problems. If you had ever been to St Kitts or Nevis,
you would be ashamed of yourself.

All you do is help Ilyumzhinov win the election. If you wanted to beat
him, I'd be hearing some facts. You know little about FIDE. You are mad
about drug testing. So, your solution is to kill everyone who disagrees
with you.

All your threats do is help the BEST CANDIDATE, Ilyumzhinov win. When I
discuss these threats in the FIDE General Assembly, Ilyumzhinov gets
more votes.

Everyone knows you're voting for a murderer.

Worked for figure skating!

(not that there's anything right with that behavior)

What's the chess analog to kneecapping?
