  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: <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.

  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.

  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?

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

  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.
