Go back to your Archie comics and your sheep and your militia unit (can you see Russia from your house?). A discussion on Dostoyevsky is way over your head!>

Keep going guys, this is really funny!

I wasn't intending to expose plagiarism.
I was pointing out only that the two paragraphs MUST have been written by different people.

Good, because you didn't. The only thing you exposed is your own ignorance.

<One of the two makes a common grammar mistake (twice) which is avoided by the other one.>

Let me guess, you're 10 years old and you just learned about possessives in school.

So to follow this illogical and frankly rather childish argument, if someone makes a typo, then he must make that same typo everywhere. Or, if someone does not make a typo, then he never will, otherwise your stupid little argument just falls apart!!

Also, Wikipedia is subject to amendment and review, Chessgames is not.

Who do you think will win this Match? It has interesting timing, almost provocative.

Of course when it comes to who gets a chance at the title these days, final results rule.

Too bad the "Candidate's event" this go round was ridiculous to the point of helping destroy competitive chess. What a fiasco, what a farce.

Arguably, any conditions that allow <Boring Gelfand> to be chosen as the best candidate for the World Chess title is a joke.

I'd say many would put <Carlsen> first and <Aronian> second in line for a crack at <The Big Bananathan> based on "actual playing strength."

The saddest thing of all is that both <Boring> and <Vishy> are past the "prime playing age" for top level competitive chess.

I'm sure all would be aghast if <Vishy> lost, but with a ridiculously short match format, <Gelfand> could well be the next World Champion.

That's at least as big a joke as <Russian Pomeranian> having "earned" the Title (disputed in his case).

If <Gelfand> wins, this would be grounds for firing FIDE and erecting a new organization.

I watched hours and hours of that event days on end, on the excellent webcam they had set up.

Bad, bad luck for <Aronian>- he was visibly ill, and seriously ill.

His face was ashen and strained, you could see his nose running, his puffy eyes closing at the table, his head nodding.

He had the flu.

He had a really bad case of the flu.

That was bad luck for him- and worse luck for chess history, given what happened.

<Alex "I'll just draw every game and win the shootout" Woodchuck>?

Great strategy Alex, really worked out well for you.

Well, I have to assume that by AVRO1938 you're referring to me, so let me set the record straight by saying that to me, chess is an amusement, not an area of inquiry.

As for the Higgs Boson, I don't believe it exists. I tend to be in the Schrodinger camp rather than the Heisenberg camp.

I can't call this match at all. I am, however, thinking that Kramnik will surprise. Most think otherwise it seems. On the other hand, Aronian might be the best in the world right now.

Clearly the world championship processes, whatever they come up with, will be inadequate without sufficient fuding to do something right, and that's just no longer available. We didn't even get to see Linares and Amber this year.

If this was in fact a <Carlsen-Aronian> match at this exact time, it could cause great furor in the chess world.

Many, I bet, would consider the winner of such a match the "real" world champion.

What I'd like to see, but of course I can't, is a <Carlsen-Aronian> match with the winner then playing <Vishy>.

I'm sorry to <Gelfand> fans but he doesn't feel right in this company.

On the other hand, even he- or maybe especially he- must realize this is his one and only chance to become World Champion.

In chess terms, he's old.

As <Jan Timman> said of <Korchnoi> before his last world championship match with <Karpov> in Merano:
