< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 30 OF 30 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jun-13-07    GKIOLMAS: I think we are going to see a lot more of episodes in the series "Topalov going to Mexico", from both sides, until September. Jun-13-07    chancho: <The threat was not torture, but one of the match not taking place if not agreed to.> I remember some posters commenting that Kramnik needed the match much more than Topalov did, since Vesko was the true world champ in their eyes. Why didn't he just avoid the match? My guess is he felt he would win it without any difficulties. Look at some of the photos of the opening ceremony of that match. You can see Vesko smiling like a cheshire cat in them. Yeah, it was gonna be easy he probably thought... Jun-13-07    Knight13: That sucks. Jun-13-07    keypusher: <14 dog night> To meet the legal standard of duress, Topalov would have had to sign under something similar to Warmaster Kron's scenario, not yours. Jun-13-07    Monoceros: "Look at some of the photos of the opening ceremony of that match. You can see Vesko smiling like a cheshire cat in them." http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail... I dunno. Topalov looks uncomfortable to my imagination. Partly it's because, compared to the huge Kramnik, he seems like a little guy. Jun-13-07    Pulse: A picture of the finalists: http://globalchess.eu/img/img01.jpg Jun-13-07    orio24: Fred Flinstone didn't make it at the end. But he made it very difficult for his opponent. Jun-13-07    chessmoron: Can some one tell me why Aronian is posturing like a girl? Jun-13-07    chancho: Haven't you heard? Levon discovered that the getting beat up trick to pick up the chicks is no longer working. That girl posture is his latest method at picking up those babes! Gotta give the dude credit, he'll try ANYTHING to land a lady. Jun-14-07    Pulse: <chancho: Haven't you heard? Levon discovered that the getting beat up trick to pick up the chicks is no longer working. That girl posture is his latest method at picking up those babes! Gotta give the dude credit, he'll try ANYTHING to land a lady.> If you scroll down it'll say that Arianna Caoili is Aronian's girlfriend now. http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail... Jun-14-07    dehanne: <Can some one tell me why Aronian is posturing like a girl?> Maybe Gelfand dared Aronian to do his Charlie Chaplin mimic. Jun-14-07    chancho: <Pulse> I already knew that he was going out with Caoili. Jun-14-07    J.A. Topfke: I think Aronian should look over his shoulder because every picture I see it looks like Caoili is making eyes at Aronian's second, Vladimir Potkin. http://www.chessbase.com/news/2007/... Here's one where they're sitting shoulder-to-shoulder. Really, is it necessary for them to be sitting that close? http://www.chessbase.com/news/2007/... Sorry, just wanted to start a rumor. Jun-14-07    micartouse: <J.A. Topfke> I agree. He can do better anyhow. :) Jun-15-07    Pulse: Chessbase makes interesting comments, as always. http://www.chessbase.com/news/2007/... Caption: Now it's your turn, Alex – the girls think he is the cutest candidate Jun-15-07    chessmoron: http://www.chessbase.com/news/2007/... That'll keep chess nerds turning their heads. Haba! Haba! Haba! Jun-15-07    Open Defence: geez is that a new marketing idea by Kirsan ? no wonder he doesn't get sponsors... Jun-15-07    slomarko: <chancho: Haven't you heard? Levon discovered that the getting beat up trick to pick up the chicks is no longer working. That girl posture is his latest method at picking up those babes! Gotta give the dude credit, he'll try ANYTHING to land a lady.> will you ever stop writting useless crap on this site? Jun-15-07    chancho: Talk about the pot calling the kettle black... Jun-15-07    tpstar: <Haba Haba Haba> Once upon a time, there were three little girls who went to the police academy, and they were each assigned very hazardous outfits ... If her black & white dress had velcro pieces, you could play chest, I mean, chess. Jun-25-07    Chess Classics: It says on the home page, <Grischuck wins by scoring 2 to 0.5 in the tiebreaks.> How did this happen? Did they play half a game? Regards, CC Jun-28-07    positionalgenius: Hmm,grischuk is just too good for poor rublevsky. Oct-25-09    notyetagm: Anyone know which game occurred in <Round 7>? Thanks Oct-26-09    nescio: <notyetagm> According to http://www.chesslab.com/PositionSea... and http://www.newinchess.com/NICBase/ this was the round 7 game: Rublevsky vs Grischuk, 2007 Aug-31-10    Illogic: Is this the longest dancing rook ever?
