| Jan-18-13 | | Mudphudder: Am I the only one who is wondering why he played white in almost all of this games on this site??? |
|
| Apr-06-13 | | andrewjsacks: You might want to look up my article on him, published a couple of years ago online at www.angiesdiary.com The title is something like "Claude Bloodgood: Chess Werewolf." Also, of course, there is an enlightening Wiki page on him. |
|
| Jul-14-13 | | DoctorD: The specific URL is : http://angiesdiary.com/articles/cla.... I must say that I did not like the article. I found the opening tenuous, and the facts contained therein later do not jibe with my own recollection of events, which include the fact that it was Bloodgood who reported this rating inflation to the USCF (the report at Wikipedia seems more honest and unbiased). In fact I find it much more interesting that it is possible that the unsavory character Bloodgood acted morally in chess matters. I am not making this critique out of mean-spiritedness and I bet you are normally quite a talented writer. But I just couldn't like this one. |

| Aug-06-13 | | GumboGambit: According to Rybka, he should have kept more distance from his relatives. Also, anger management training would have been a sound move. |
|

 | | perfidious: If only Rybka and anger management training had existed back in 1969. Trouble is, he would have been forced to play in the real world and we would have been deprived of another 2700 player. Everything in life is a tradeoff, I suppose. |

 | | Phony Benoni: Bloodgood would probably have lost a match to Norman Tweed Whitaker, but there would have been a captive audience. |

| Sep-03-14 | | posoo: dis man kind of looks like my father, da Posoo Sr.! |
|
| Jan-18-15 | | Conrad93: Fair to say, killing his mother was the best career move he ever made. |
|
| Jan-18-15 | | john barleycorn: His mother called him "curly Sue" |
|
| Jan-18-15 | | Wyatt Gwyon: <Conrad93: Fair to say, killing his mother was the best career move he ever made.> Fair to say not having an abortion was the worst life decision your mother ever made. |
|
| Jan-20-15 | | Conrad93: Wyatt, are you normally such a low-life, or is your life so pathetic that you have to insult stranger online? Get a life, loser. |
|
| Jan-20-15 | | Conrad93: Insulting a stranger over chess of all things... |
|
| Jan-20-15 | | Wyatt Gwyon: I'm not insulting you over chess. I'm insulting you over being the most insufferably obnoxious autist on this otherwise great forum. |
|
| Jan-20-15 | | Conrad93: Wyatt, only an austistic individual would insult a random stranger online over a few comments. Stop being pathetic and get off the internet. Telling someone they should get aborted is not a place even I would dare go. You're a loser and probably suck at chess to boot. Not a good mix. |

 | | offramp: Even if he'd been paroled for the matricide he'd have been rejailed for the ratings fraud. |
|
Jan-25-15
 | | OhioChessFan: Or perhaps regaled. |
|
Jan-25-15
 | | FSR: Claude has the highest winning percentage this side of Prince Andrey Dadian of Mingrelia. |
|
Jan-25-15
 | | tpstar: Also Gioachino Greco Bloodgood wins the Creepiest Picture hands down. |
|
Jan-27-15
| | offramp: His middle name is a nickname given to him by Father Seamus Mulcahy. It is based on the noise he was expected to make in the electric chair. |
|
| Jul-27-15 | | thegoodanarchist: I boosted my gameknot rating by playing mostly lower-rated players. I got my gameknot rating about 100 points higher than my USCF rating. Then the fun wore off and I stopped. But I am not stuck in prison, I can go out and do other stuff. |
|
| Jul-27-15 | | andrewjsacks: <FSR> And this side of Jude Acers in his rated matches. Know that story? |
|
Jul-28-15
| | FSR: <andrewjsacks> Not exactly. I vaguely recall hearing allegations that Acers padded his rating in that manner. |
|
| Jul-28-15 | | andrewjsacks: <FSR> Scandalous it was. Caused the USCF to make rule changes. Do a little research, perhaps. |
|
| Jul-28-15 | | thegoodanarchist: <andrewjsacks: <FSR> Scandalous it was. Caused the USCF to make rule changes. Do a little research, perhaps.> I posted some info that I found on the Jude Acers page a few years back. |
|
| Jul-28-15 | | Howard: Inside Chess ran an article about Bloodgood's artificially (to put it mildly !) high rating (which at the time made him one of the "top 20" players in the U.S.) back in 1996. Still recall it rather well. How his rating got so ridiculously high had more to do with his playing in a closed pool of other players, rather than agreeing with other inmates to "fix" his games. |
