| Aug-07-07 | | cotdt: GM Gormally is a good chess player, he should face Aronian over the board in a grudge match. |

| Mar-23-08 | | pazzed paun: Gormally has proposed dropping the titles IM and GM. He says it is an outmoded concept not adopted by any other sport. ...food for thinking |

Just forget about them dude! |

He gives no real reason at all. If that's food, I'm starving.

| Sep-19-08 | | zoren: lol. I feel bad for this guy, the fiasco is pretty old but I don't think anyone will see him in quite the same light. (How did I even end up on this page??) |

| Jul-02-09 | | kramputz: Daniel Gormally vs. Rustam Kamsky would be a very exciting match. Let these two arrogant bullies "duke it out". |
|
| Jul-06-09 | | Dredge Rivers: <kramputz> Good idea. The winner gets Brock Lesnar! :) |

We know it exists because we get regular reports by Chessbase. Regarding Gormally, he has zero chances I'm sorry to say. It's one thing to bully Aronian, who is below average height, and quite another to actually fight someone who can fight back. Just off the top of my head, any one of the Siberian GMs such as Khismatullin (currently in Dortmund as Jako's second), Bocharov, Lastin, all of them being 2600++ and large, tall, well-built men weighing about twice that of Gormally each, could easily beat him at chess AND kick his ass in the ring or anywhere else. Blindfolded too. |

 | | Marmot PFL: Is it true that Gormally now works on Wall St.? |
|
| Apr-10-10 | | dragonsden: Does Gormally play for England? Or have I gone 'punchdrunk' with that suggestion? |
|
| Jun-19-10 | | splatty: <cotdt: GM Gormally is a good chess player, he should face Aronian over the board in a grudge match.> lol |
|
| Jul-11-10 | | splatty: Gormally stated that he was around 200 in the world; this is a major exaggeration as he is only 991 in the world out of active players, and 27th in England, and 790th in Europe. Compare that to Aronian, 5th in the world, 4th in Europe, 1st in Armenia. It's the difference between Carlos Tevez and an amateur who plays football for their local village. |

|
| Jul-31-10 | | Dredge Rivers: <wordfunph> <Calculate Like a Grandmaster> Then sting like a bee? |
|
| Mar-28-11 | | Everett: Perhaps he and Aronian could resort to this option.

I hope he does an impression of his nemesis, Levon Aronian! |
|
| Mar-31-13 | | IndigoViolet: His impression of Mickey is spot on, but his Kramnik is rubbish. |
