| Sep-06-06 | | p0ubelle: Gormally just won Hereford International.
6/9

|
| Sep-06-06 | | ArmeniaNL: I am bit suprised that this guy still takes part in international tournaments. I think he does not have the sense of shame! After olyimpiad he even did not apologise Aronian and the whole chess community |
|
| Sep-06-06 | | tino72: <ArmeniaNL> I think a bit of perspective would be useful. He had too much to drink at a party and made a fool out of himself. Big deal. He has certainly paid for it through the embarrassing (for him) press coverage. Let's move on now. Speaking as a member of the "whole chess community" I do not feel the need for an apology from him. Did the Armenian players who "roughed him up a bit" the following day (according to Chessbase) apologise to the entire chess community? I doubt it, but please correct me if I am wrong. |
|
| Sep-06-06 | | p0ubelle: Actually, Daniel did apologise. More than several times actually. He did apologise to Lev and to Arianne and somewhere he realeased a statement. He did something bad. He's human... He said sorry. now it should be in the past. Agree @ tino72

| Sep-06-06 | | Benzol: Sue, were you witness to the incident? Just curious |
|
| Sep-06-06 | | p0ubelle: I was at the Bermuda Party,but i didn't see it happened.Was outside.
Though i did talk to Arianne and Lev after the incident. And i am keeping in contact with Danny. It wasn't just a one night thing. it happened over a period of time. |

| Aug-07-07 | | cotdt: GM Gormally is a good chess player, he should face Aronian over the board in a grudge match. |
|
| Mar-23-08 | | pazzed paun: Gormally has proposed dropping the titles IM and GM. He says it is an outmoded concept not adopted by any other sport. ...food for thinking |

Just forget about them dude! |

He says it is an outmoded concept not adopted by any other sport. ...food for thinking> That's got to be the most nebulous argument I've ever heard for overturning a half century of sporting tradition. He gives no real reason at all. If that's food, I'm starving.

| Sep-19-08 | | zoren: lol. I feel bad for this guy, the fiasco is pretty old but I don't think anyone will see him in quite the same light. (How did I even end up on this page??) |

|
| Jul-02-09 | | kramputz: Daniel Gormally vs. Rustam Kamsky would be a very exciting match. Let these two arrogant bullies "duke it out". |
|
| Jul-06-09 | | Dredge Rivers: <kramputz> Good idea. The winner gets Brock Lesnar! :) |
|
| Jul-09-09 | | Dredge Rivers: Future world champion of Chess Boxing!
(And yes, that really exists!) |

We know it exists because we get regular reports by Chessbase. Regarding Gormally, he has zero chances I'm sorry to say. It's one thing to bully Aronian, who is below average height, and quite another to actually fight someone who can fight back. Just off the top of my head, any one of the Siberian GMs such as Khismatullin (currently in Dortmund as Jako's second), Bocharov, Lastin, all of them being 2600++ and large, tall, well-built men weighing about twice that of Gormally each, could easily beat him at chess AND kick his ass in the ring or anywhere else. Blindfolded too. |
|
| Jul-10-09 | | Dredge Rivers: <DCP23> Actually, I meant Hula Chess! (And that really exists, too!) :) |
|
| Nov-06-09 | | Marmot PFL: Is it true that Gormally now works on Wall St.? |
|
| Apr-10-10 | | dragonsden: Does Gormally play for England? Or have I gone 'punchdrunk' with that suggestion? |
|
| Jun-19-10 | | splatty: <cotdt: GM Gormally is a good chess player, he should face Aronian over the board in a grudge match.> lol |
|
| Jul-11-10 | | splatty: Gormally stated that he was around 200 in the world; this is a major exaggeration as he is only 991 in the world out of active players, and 27th in England, and 790th in Europe. Compare that to Aronian, 5th in the world, 4th in Europe, 1st in Armenia. It's the difference between Carlos Tevez and an amateur who plays football for their local village. |
|
| Jul-11-10 | | wordfunph: i read that GM Gormally just made a book, i forgot the title.. title and review please? |
