May-06-06   Fischeristhebest: <Bidmonfa> I bid thee: please refrain from spamming!
Aug-19-06   wallytherhino: do not spam bidmonfa, it makes everyone angry!!!
Jan-28-07   JordanKwiatek: On the contrary I always enjoyed BIDMONFA's so called "spams". He's not spamming he's contibutuing. How else you gonna see pictures of the players? Many of the pictures of the players on this site come from his website. THANK YOU BIDMONFA :)!!!
Jan-28-07   Larsker: <How else you gonna see pictures of the players?> Ever heard about Google?

Feb-20-07   JordanKwiatek: "Larsker" [ever heard of google?]
Of course I have, what an idotic question. Besides the big names, BIDMONFA has many VERY RARE and HARD TO FIND photos of players many people have barley heard about. Larsker your Trolling clearly shows your immaturity.
Feb-20-07   Lt. Col. Majid: <Of course I have, what an idotic question.>

  suenteus po 147: <argishti: a 2700 player, and not even a page is filled for him.> No biography for him either. If it weren't for the kibitzing here (or perhaps his FIDE card) you wouldn't even know what country he plays for.
Jan-13-08   Manic: <suenteus po 147> How ironic that you'd say that. Only now have I realised that Eljanov is Ukranian and not Russian.
Jan-15-08   h7square: <Larsker> I tripped on your link and twisted my ankle. I'm now considering legal action and compensation claims.

Jun-19-08   DFelter: Aerosvit turned out to be pretty good for Eljanov. His last place showing at Corus wasn't too promising (despite winning against Judit and Topalov), but his play in Foros has been solid. Perhaps it's comforting playing at home.
