I won't be posting indefinitely, as I'm drafting a lawsuit (and a number of police complaints) relating to a certain hate website which some people cannot distinguish as spite fiction. Two posts from this thread will be mentioned in the lawsuit, as it will be noted that the wetebsite was set up to bait my enemies into repeating its contents so that I would sue the "pawns" who are being used.
The question is: who would benefit the most from this? In the suit I'll be noting that I could easily have sued instead the many people who grabbed the "poisoned pawn" but then I'd be playing into the hands of the instigators, who sit back laughing at how normally decent people are being set up.
As a general advisory, if you go searching someone's name on the internet, and you find a "gang" of people plotting against someone, you may have just joined the gang without realizing it. Technically this is the fault of those who grab the bait, as they should know better, but they certainly had help in being manipulated.
The reason I have to sue is that as I return to OTB chess, if this were to happen in a skittles room or at a tournament, people would be locked up, sued, or much worse. As it is, anyone who plays at a chess tournament who I can sue can easily be served at the tournament, and be sued in any state in which they play, including my home state of Pennsylvania, should they be at the World Open later this month.
Anyone who starts shit with me there better have an army behind them.
Raymond, everytime you open another account here youre threatening to sue someone.
Well said, @Yureesystem . Carlsen not so great, not near the fighting spirit of THE MAN. If he plays Karjakin again it may be different. Carlsen was playing to not lose, not to win. The MAN always played to win, taking risks, taking opponent into the dark forest. Karjakin may be better player but at least as good. Does anyone think that Carlsen will be champion for 20 years like Kasparov? Nothing against the young man, but he's overrated. Bobby would be rated 3000 today if he had access to Houdini or the like. I could beat Carlsen in ping pong. . . so could Bobby.
