| Aug-02-07 | | savagerules: There was a guy who won the U.S. youth championship as a teenager and he ended up killing his parents when he was in his early twenties. He was released from the nuthouse a few years ago and for all I know he's playing in tournaments, anybody know who I'm talking about, also there was a New York City master named Weinstein who was convicted of murder in the sixties or seventies. |

| Nov-12-07 | | arnaud1959: <technical draw>. Very ugly but the professionnals know how to give the impression that someone is bad. The face that covers all the picture, a spotlight over the head etc. And if you want him to be a "good" person, you show him with his family, you avoid sharp lines and shadows on the face. |

| Jan-25-08 | | jovack: <90% win rate.... his bio explains it all.
nonetheless his (modified) last name is pretty cool.
still he was a lowlife; (on top of murder) his method of raising his chess rating is analogous to someone going to pogo.com and continuously playing noobs until you reach master level. |

| Feb-22-08 | | DrGrobb: He was a big fish in a small pond!!! |

 | | brankat: How ironic: This guy has a Biography much more detailed than those of most of GMs around here. |
|
| Jul-24-08 | | KAIT: Bloodgood had played in his life The Grob opening only,just,I don`t know other openings played from him. Sometimes I think "63 games only- is that a human life dedicated to chess?"
Sometimes I play Grob, "a double edge razor", I can say, because it may be dangerous weapon for White and Black equally,this is my expierence. |
|
| Nov-14-08 | | Octal: He only played three games as black... |

 | | Knight13: Wow this guy gets a lot of fame for killing his stepmother, escaping under supervision, beating up a guard, and partially responsible for dismantling Virginia Penitentiary Chess program. All because he got good at moving a bunch of plastic pieces around 64 squares. I wonder what people would think when an average employee from Wal-mart does the same thing.... Oh, oops, he doesn't have the reputation of beating the crap out of inmates at chess so he gets an 100% notoriety ticket. |

| Aug-29-09 | | Dredge Rivers: On a Monday, I was arrested
on a Tuesday, they locked me in a cell
on a Wednesday, my trial was attested
and on a Thursday, they said "Guilty" and the judge's gavel fell.I GOT STRIPES,
STRIPES AROUND MY SHOULDERS.
I GOT CHAINS,
CHAINS AROUND MY FEET.
I GOT STRIPES,
STRIPES AROUND MY SHOULDERS.
AND THOSE CHAINS, THOSE CHAINS
THEY'RE ABOUT TO DRAG ME DOWN ! |

| Aug-29-09 | | MorphysMojo: There was a gay inmate named Claude,
Made famous by lovers of bawd,
Useless till the end
He did greatly offend
Until death freed us from this dumb broad. |

| Aug-29-09 | | Dredge Rivers: I hear that train a-commin'... |
|
| Dec-01-10 | | redlance: Sam Sloan,reprinting The Tactical Grob |
|
| Dec-01-10 | | MaxxLange: Yay for experts and minor masters who win against weak players with offbeat openings, and then claim to have shown a theoretical result about chess theory |
|
| Feb-02-11 | | rich187113: why has this guy got more whites than blacks. |
|

 | | chancho: If they ever make a movie about Bloodgood, this actor would fit the bill: http://content7.flixster.com/photo/... His name is Pruitt Taylor Vince. |

 | | I play the Fred: <He was a big fish in a small pond!!!> More like a small fish in a shot glass. |
|
| May-01-11 | | perfidious: But he was 2700! Doesn't that mean he could really play? |

 | | whiteshark: "Certainly one of the most enigmatic figures in the chess scene, however, took a late notice of him - and the proof that it's certainly better people early introduce to chess, to direct their destructive instincts in a reasonably harmless channels - so it possible only when (wannabe) pro-GM terrorizing their environment with excessive demands, instead of heavier crime. He became famous course through consistent use of the <Burma-effect>, which you should probably tell him to honor <Bloodgood effect>: the knowledge that all the current rating systems are prone to bias due largely isolated sub-communities. In Bloodgood case you can not even blame him, because he was only forced to play against his fellow inmates ... If by setting the label should not (rare enough, the deficit is indeed at all on the subject): Perhaps one could even some in memory of his legendary USCF rating of 2702 that professionals who travel through the crossing in the advanced world-class have now reached <Bloodgood status>? Sounds somehow better than ever trite messages about new "Super-GMs" - if you have not can not be entirely." machine translation of http://rankzero.de/?p=1762 |

| Aug-08-11 | | rogl: Maybe Bloodgood and Hitler are analysing the Grob together somewhere http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NP3J.... |
