Where do you get this stuff from? It is hilarious. You have to be my favorite kibitzer on the entire website, because you are helpful, but a main chuck of that conclusion comes from posts like those two.

You have a very detailed kowledge of the Illiad - I know the Dunciad (not word for word -lol! )amazing Pope should spend such a long labour of what is really trivia -and yet it is almost (but surely it is not!) a great poem - a piss take on epics as well as an attack on his critics and so on. he spent so much time - and it was a financial success on his translation of the Illiad.

People forget that 2004 & 2005 were one continuous argument about Kramnik, and not a particularly pleasant one. I returned to chess and joined this site in 2004, and knew Kasparov was waiting to play a semi-final against Ponomariov or Kasimdzhanov, then Brissago 2004 led to Kramnik's four-player playoff demand, and suddenly Kasparov abruptly retired after Linares 2005. This was a huge shock to me, so I went back and read many of the discussions posted here plus all of Kramnik's interviews to determine what really happened. When FIDE announced San Luis 2005, I could tell they were on the right track. Like I wrote before, anybody who has ever had to fire someone understood what they were doing.

The Kramniad was a tribute to Kasparov and his career, fully acknowledging his shameless nature, yet also greatly motivated by several personal attacks against <Susan Polgar> and other name players here. Lots of inside jokes were missed, like the <Knight13> material (nobody got GOOD GAME) and <kvcs> who I don't believe ever read it. Lest you worry, the sequel will be even dandier. When the time is right.

Please give Mal~ a hug up there and let go of the trivial profanities that troubled you here the past couple of years; it was never worth spending time on tbh. Besides, I always would've loved to swap the fine jam you and your siblings must have had on tape in your heydays.

Godspeed my friend, at least you are no longer suffering. s. c. J.

Much strength to Thomas Palmer. Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your son. May memories of happier times sustain your loved ones during your time of sadness. In this frightful week my thoughts are with your family.
