  tpstar: If you keep making this guy the butt of your jokes, the whole site will go to pot. Better snuff it out, as your humor can spread like a cancer.

You've come a long way, baby. ;>D

Dec-10-05  notsodeepthought: But apparently he hasn't played since his 1993 loss to Kharlov. He must have felt really put out by that one.
Dec-10-05  weisyschwarz: <notsodeepthought>, Phillip Morris was glad Kharlov didn't try out the Frankenstein game on him.

  WannaBe: Oh geeze.... the puns, the puns... =)
Dec-10-05  Karpova: his favourite band is smokey

  WannaBe: I heard he beat Joe Camel in a long match, it lasted 555 moves.
Dec-10-05  ughaibu: Even if he'd had a small pull he didn't mind taking a quick draw now and then.
Dec-10-05  Karpova: he has been a good friend of Vladimir Kramnik for a long time (until 2000?)
Dec-10-05  ughaibu: He wanted to cigar E. Kasparov granted a re-match.
Dec-10-05  notsodeepthought: <He has been a good friend of Vladimir Kramnik for a long time...> Hopefully not "that" good a friend, since Morris is now dating Karolina Smokina
Dec-10-05  notsodeepthought: <weisyschwarz> Hmmm, we have to start a pun trend on the Kharlov page... but the one on this page may keep smoldering for a while.
Dec-10-05  trumbull0042: <notsodeepthought: But apparently he hasn't played since his 1993 loss to Kharlov. He must have felt really put out by that one.> He had a habit of making his games drag on forever. I think he quit because he was just waiting to exhale.
Dec-10-05  weisyschwarz: Morris could make the Dragon puff, but Kharlov, now he was a real monster!
Dec-10-05  aw1988: This isn't to be taken lightly. These puns will leave a black mark upon our once healthy website.
Dec-10-05  weisyschwarz: Not many bites on Kharlov, <notsodeepthought>.
Dec-10-05  trumbull0042: Oh I just got why you say Kharlov was a "monster"...I think. Are you referring to Boris Karloff's role as Frankenstein?
Dec-10-05  Averageguy: <Wannabe> Thanks, I had no idea.

  WannaBe: <Averageguy> Well, after I answered your post, this page all of a sudden got lots and lots of kibitz!! I am blaming this all on you. =)

  tpstar: It's a hard habit to break; these puns are horribly addictive. Once you light the flame, the whole pack joins in (or at least half pack). Too late to hide the smoking gun. =)
Jan-04-06  weisyschwarz: It was he who said, originally, "Chess is Kool."
Jan-04-06  James Demery: Actually he said chess would keep Virginia Slim , but I wouldn`t rather fight than switch.

  WannaBe: "I'd walk a mile for a Staunton."
Jan-05-06  weisyschwarz: One of his students at work

P J Winston vs Miles

Jan-06-06  jmi: I think we should not tar fellow chess players in this manner. I know the introduction of Morris isn't exactly a breath of fresh air in the chess world, nor does it lit up the chess fraternity in the likes of Tal but I doubt he will appreciate being the butt of so many puns.

Jan-06-06  weisyschwarz: Born under the sign of Cancer, he quit chess during his years as the viceroy of Chesterfield.
