| Bobsterman3000: <brankat & Open Defence> Get a room you two. Spare us the public lovefest, which does not fit in with the insolent and irrascible spirit of Silvio The Great. |

| Open Defence: <Bobsterman> you have a lot to learn from the Great Sylvio.. |
 |

| Bobsterman3000: <Open Defence> I've already learned quite a bit from Silvio, but not much of it relates to chess. |

| Riverbeast: Anyone notice how close his name is to Silvio Dante from The Sopranos? "There's two businesses that are recession proof...certain forms of entertainment, and Our Thing." |

| brankat: <Open Defence> <technical draw> There is no point in "talking" to disciples of Silvio the Scumbag. And there is no point in visiting his page in the first place. |

| Tomlinsky: <Jim Bartle: Did he play guitar in a rock and roll band, too?> Not that I'm aware of but he has a number of superb soloists playing second fiddle. |

| Wild Bill: <Knight13: <Wow I didn't know this guy's a freakin' IM!> There are two possible reasons: First, he earned it over the board; second, he made his opponents in those days the early victims of the games
manship for which he is now so well known. |

| percyblakeney: Danailov's even score in Corus B 2000, after drawing Tiviakov and Onischuk, must have been one of his better results: http://www.worldchesslinks.net/ezra... |

| Riverbeast: Is Danailov known for any other alleged 'dirty tricks' other than toiletgate? Because if he's taking all this heat just for that, I think it's unfair. There have been paranoid allegations in world chess championship matches plenty of times before, and it will probably happen again. Besides...players HAVE been known to cheat in the bathroom in the past. I'm not saying Kramnik did, but if he was going to the loo a lot, it is natural that it would raise suspicions. |

| yalie: I remember that Danailov was among the first to criticize the uneven number of whites and blacks in all play all single round robins. It is no wonder that he organized MTEL as a DRR. |

Yes, I agree. Kramnik brought suspicion upon himself, so Danailov's conduct in Elista was exemplary. Also all those cable and Fritz allegations and malicious innuendoes were great examples of the sportsmanship that chess needs right now. The chess world is unfair to Danailov.

| chessmoron: <Because if he's taking all this heat just for that, I think it's unfair. There have been paranoid allegations in world chess championship matches plenty of times before, and it will probably happen again.> Since Kramnik has already been known to frequently goes to the bathroom in his match against Kasparov, why the paranoia? <Is Danailov known for any other alleged 'dirty tricks' other than toiletgate?> Danailov and Topalov ridiculed another Russian player, Bareev after their Dortmund Candidate match after Bareev was ahead. |

| Riverbeast: KamikazeAttack, I can tell you were being sarcastic in your post, but consider this: In 1972 the Soviets accused Fischer of "chemical interference" when Spassky was losing. In 1978 Korchnoi thought Karpov may be getting signals in his yogurt, and said he was hiring a parapsychologist to rattle him. Karpov thought members of his Yoga sect were doing the same, and thought Korchnoi's mirror sunglasses were a dirty trick (Korchnoi claimed that he was wearing them becasue Karpov was staring at him too much). Compared to these episodes, Danailov's accusations don't seem all that outlandish to me...After all, we are living in the computer age, and cheating with computers has become widespread. <Danailov and Topalov ridiculed another Russian player, Bareev after their Dortmund Candidate match after Bareev was ahead> How so?
I'm really trying to understand if Danailov has a history of all this stuff, or if everyone hates him because he had the 'nerve' to accuse someone of using a computer... |
