(in Bulgarian) Apr-20-11    shalgo: He had a profile here: User: goosey3. If you look at his games collections, he had curious dislikes of Tiviakov, Short, and Carlsen. I wonder what was behind them? Apr-20-11    tpstar: It's more like a running joke: User: goosey User: goosesmack User: smackgoose User: cksmasooge User: ontocaustic Nobody seriously believed he was a name player. Apr-21-11    shalgo: <tpstar> I was not aware of that. How odd.
