| euripides: <Don't You ever get tired of repeating Your nonsense, without ever providing a shred of evidence.> I associate the capitalisation of the second person with addresses to a deity. There's a case to answer, I say. |

| slomarko: <And no, however a great master Bronstein undoubtedly was, he had never been in Botvinnik's class.> Bronstein draws a match with Botvinik having maybe 10% of his expirences in matches and without any state support Botvinnik had but he's not in his class? this is comical. |

| achieve: Kramnik won his match with Kasparov.
Are they in the same class?
You need a broader perspective to make serious statements when comparing players' class. Comical?
Funny. |

| slomarko: <Don't You ever get tired of repeating Your nonsense, without ever providing a shred of evidence.> and what evidence do you want me to provide? surely the commies didn't put that in writting. but it is a very well known fact that first Keres was forced to throw his games in the 1948 tourney and then Bronstein. |

| Everett: Has anyone happen to purchase the recently published book "Secret Notes" by David Bronstein & Sergey Voronkov? It seems to talk at length of Bronstein's relationship with Korchnoi, particularly helping the latter transform his chess to the level of WC contender. 29 games vs Korchnoi are included, never before published... |

| Voltaic: that seems pretty interesting. i love Bronstein's books. |

| Everett: I'm curious about the book, in that there may be many repeats from Sorcerer's Apprentice. If the games do not match the annotated ones in SA, then I'm definitely getting it... |

| DarthStapler: Quote of the day by Bronstein: "How does Tal win? It is very simple: he places his pieces in the centre and he sacrifices them somewhere. " I like this quote. If only it was that simple for me! |

I do it the same way, but the result is quite different. |

That's not an argument. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition. No it isn't.
Yes it is! It's not just contradiction.
Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position. Yes, but that's not just saying 'No it isn't.'
Yes it is!
No it isn't!

| Brettwith2ts: <Eyal> Monty Python!!! I love it! An argument is an intellectual process, contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says! No, it isn't.
Yes it is!
Not at all.
Now look....
