  tamar: <La Belle Damme Sans Gormally > Very clever, Chesschatology.

Keats was Gormallized somewhat by Fanny Brawne, if I remember.

Jun-16-06   Chesschatology: <tamar> lol
Jun-16-06   Stevens: <mack> <I usually avoid HIGNFY like the plague these days>

it's true it's not as good as it was, but it's still better than 90 percent of tv at the moment. Bring back Angus Deayton!

  xenophon: The BCM website is saying he is taking anti-depressants-that would tie up with the personal demons Short mentioned-combined with one over the eight you might see how he lost his rag.Shame for Aronian he didn't lose his aim as well.
Jun-16-06   SickedChess: Chess, love and rivalry

Jun-16-06   mack: 'My little love, do you remember,
Ere we were grown so sadly wise,
Those evenings in the bleak December,
Curtained warm from the snowy weather,
When you and I played chess together,
Checkmated by each other's eyes?'

  keypusher: That's pretty, what is it called? Who wrote it?
Jun-16-06   mack: Lord Lytton, I believe.
Jun-20-06   mack: Gormallygate is clearing taking effect in The Times - its 'People' column today had a picture of Carmen Kass at a chessboard. Sexy chess ladies are 'in'.

  AdrianP: Gormally's back in action in a South Wales tournament http://www.southwaleschess.co.uk/SWI/

"Oi, you looking at my sheep... well, not exactly, my sheep... well, we've exchanged a couple of emails...".

Jul-10-06   Ezzy: <AdrianP:"Oi, you looking at my sheep...> Which reminds me - Osama Bin Laden has been arrested for "sheep sha****g" in Wales. When questioned by police, he replied that they were Islams and he can do what the F*** he likes.
Sep-06-06   p0ubelle: Gormally just won Hereford International.
6/9
Sep-06-06   ArmeniaNL: I am bit suprised that this guy still takes part in international tournaments. I think he does not have the sense of shame! After olyimpiad he even did not apologise Aronian and the whole chess community
Sep-06-06   tino72: <ArmeniaNL> I think a bit of perspective would be useful. He had too much to drink at a party and made a fool out of himself. Big deal. He has certainly paid for it through the embarrassing (for him) press coverage. Let's move on now. Speaking as a member of the "whole chess community" I do not feel the need for an apology from him.

Did the Armenian players who "roughed him up a bit" the following day (according to Chessbase) apologise to the entire chess community? I doubt it, but please correct me if I am wrong.

Sep-06-06   p0ubelle: Actually, Daniel did apologise. More than several times actually.

He did apologise to Lev and to Arianne and somewhere he realeased a statement.

He did something bad. He's human... He said sorry. now it should be in the past.

Agree @ tino72

  Benzol: Sue, were you witness to the incident? Just curious
Sep-06-06   p0ubelle: I was at the Bermuda Party,but i didn't see it happened.Was outside. Though i did talk to Arianne and Lev after the incident. And i am keeping in contact with Danny. It wasn't just a one night thing. it happened over a period of time.

  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
Mar-23-08   hovik2003: <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>

Danney don't you do this to yourself, I have been doing lots of stupid thing myself when I was wasted drunk!

Just forget about them dude!

Aug-01-08   Xenon Oxide: <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>

Complete Crap. What about the Dan system in Karate, Taikwundo, and the boardgame Go? I'm sure there are even more examples.

Aug-01-08   Petrosianic: <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>

That's got to be the most nebulous argument I've ever heard for overturning a half century of sporting tradition. He gives no real reason at all.

If that's food, I'm starving.

Contract Bridge has a Life Master system.

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??)
