Chess Player of the Month November 2011

I'm sorry, trysts, but considering the excessive danger of CPOTM January, I've decided to mount a retroactive coup for November's prize.  I'll make sure you're well-treated in exile.

I'll need a menu, and a wine list

You'll be placed amidst plenty of fine liquors, amongst people who would never call a game involving throwing an egg "football," and would never stand for cheating such as Djokovic's.

Did I mention I have cookies?

Darn.

Djokovic didn't cheat What a great match that was! It's difficult to decide which one was better: Today's match, or the Federer*Nadal Wimbledon? Pretty intense stuff!

Was Djokovic doing all that secret snorting, behind the little towel face-tent again? must be good gear, is all I'm saying.

Oh that's right, this year it was nadal cheating in the semis.

I didn't watch any of it, unfortunately, but in terms of quality, I wonder if it could match the first four of Federer - Nadal, Australian 2009, the only tennis match I've ever watched twice.

The point starting at 6:09 defies belief.

by the way, im watching the brighton v newcastle match on my dvr right now, the brighton hove albion stadium is really nice.

Yes, that match was really good until the fifth set

Yeah, fifth was a wash-out, but damn, the rest of it redefined the sport.
