Jul-27-05		arifattar: He is 8 days younger than me.

Mar-30-06		AlexandraThess: He is hot i would say

Mar-30-06		Open Defence: <AlexandraThess> yes a real hottie wow

Mar-30-06		AlexandraThess: Does anybody know whether he is married?!

Mar-30-06		Appaz: That is very chauvinistic ladies. You should respect Mr. Pelletier for his (medicore GM) chess abilities and not for his looks. (Sorry, somebody has to take the role of intellectual, civilized and asexual, and this time the burden was on me :)

Mar-30-06		Open Defence: < Appaz: That is very chauvinistic ladies. You should respect Mr. Pelletier for his (medicore GM) chess abilities and not for his looks. (Sorry, somebody has to take the role of intellectual, civilized and asexual, and this time the burden was on me :)> Appaz you are needed on the Schripchenko page

Mar-30-06		Appaz: <Open Defence> The Skripchenko page and other pages of female players was what I had in mind when commenting! I guess you two had those pages in mind too.

Mar-30-06		Jim Bartle: Tweet! Tweet! Blatant heightism.

Jul-25-06		KingG: By the looks of it, this guy is in for a hard time during the rest of Biel. He's seems to be a bit outclassed.

Jul-25-06		suenteus po 147: <KingG> Which is interesting because Pelletier has always been the bottom rated player at Biel but has never placed last. Why is he outclassed <this> year?

Jul-25-06		KingG: <suenteus po 147> I don't know. Maybe he's just in bad form.

Jul-25-06		tamar: Oldest player this year.

Sep-22-06		BIDMONFA: Yannick Pelletier PELLETIER, Yannick http://www.bidmonfa.com/pelletier_y... _

Sep-22-06		suenteus po 147: Happy birthday, Pelletier! Maybe next Biel people won't be so quick to predict you as last place :)

Jul-30-07		saad: hi i am back

Jul-31-07		Timex: this guy just beat Carlsen!!

Aug-01-07		Fictivision: this guy just beat Bu!!

Aug-01-07		linux fan: Bu who?

Sep-22-07		Zaius: Knock knock. Who's there? Bu. Bu who? You don't have to cry about it.

Sep-22-07		King mega: who is Bu?

Sep-22-07		pawnofdoom: "Bu" is probably Bu Xiangzhi , a player Pelletier beat in this game : Y Pelletier vs Bu Xiangzhi, 2007

Jul-24-08		Marmot PFL: <KingG: By the looks of it, this guy is in for a hard time during the rest of Biel. He's seems to be a bit outclassed.> Posted 2 years ago, and still true today.

Jul-28-08		Udit Narayan: He looks really handsome in this photo: http://www.chessbase.com/news/2008/...

Jul-29-08		messachess: <AlexandraThess> Forget about him. Marry me. I can be hot. (Sit me out in the sun for a few hours and you'll see.) Oh yes, do you ever date older men? I am 24 (hack! Cough! Wheez!)--or there abouts.

Aug-01-08		dumbgai: Poor Yannick, a year after finishing only half a point behind first (and with chances to catch the leaders in the last round), he ran into a stone wall this year and only scored 1.5/10.
