| VinnyRoo2002: I'm not making excuses for Carlsen, I saying the whole sport of chess is cheapened by these events. What if players start throwing games so that certain players qualify for the candidates? Should this be okay? After all, there is no rule that a player must play well. For ... |

Apr-11-15 Wesley So
| |
| VinnyRoo2002: I've never seen so many people turn on a young man so quickly. You would have thought he committed a terrible crime. Let's analyze what he did exactly, he wrote some inspirational thoughts on a sheet of paper. If this is a violation of the rules, fine, if this warrants a ... |

Jan-04-15 Hikaru Nakamura
| |
| VinnyRoo2002: No, the disconnect was in the 3'1 portion of the match. Without that game, it was 4.5-3.5 Nakamura. Considering he was winning that game prior to the disconnect, it could have easily been 5.5-3.5 in favor of Naka. |

Dec-08-12 London Chess Classic (2012)
| |
| VinnyRoo2002: Great prediction, I predicted that Naka would either win, draw, or lose prior to the game. But I amend my prediction to include the game being halted by an act of God. So either Naka will win, lose, draw, or there will be an act of God. |

| VinnyRoo2002: I agree with tacite. It was obviously a terrible move, but we're all capable of making them. I know I've made my share during my chess career. |

Jun-09-12 Tal Memorial (2012)
| |
| VinnyRoo2002: Chess fans can't have it both ways, they can't complain about the games in Anand/Gelfand being too short and lacking fighting spirit, then complain that a player fought too hard and for too long. If you're only going to be happy with the precise amount of fighting spirit and ... |
