Moderator:  since going to the microsoft school of forums, i have recently learned that tennis posts are off topic at a chess site and should be deleted.  well, it think it was about tennis.  all i see is "blah blah blah Federer blah blah blah Fed blah".  so even if it is not about tennis, it is over my head and should be deleted anyway.  Thanks Moderator, i await your response. 


 lol!

theoreticalboy

He's right.  Just think of the damage we're doing to the children.

Maybe Federer plays chess......? Laughing

sorry trysts, it was a throwback to my post where i asked a moderator to take action because tennis discussions were not appropriate for a chess site. 


You're not serious, are you?Laughing

planeden

hardly ever.  i thought the microsoft school of forums would have helped prove that.

I doubt it; I remember a while back someone asked him what book he had been reading recently, and he mentioned that he usually read sports autobiographies, adding 'some day I hope to read a real book.'

he said in an interview liv tyler that he hates chess and thinks it is just played by a bunch of elitists.  i don't remember the link, but if you scroogle it, i am sure you can find it.  (still not serious).

Oh yeah, that reminds me; stay on topic or I'll have you all thrown off the site.

Now, if I can just find the topic....

my appologies Supreme OP, i shall no longer try to hijak your thread back to making fun of certain posters. 

theoreticalboy

Ah!  Right, making fun of posters, that's what this thread is about!

So, anybody seen any stupid posters recently?  That one for the Jada Pinkett-Smith TV show recently up in my train stations was possibly the stupidest thing I ever saw, for one.

I thought the topic was why are you avoiding the question of your identity "allegedlytheoreticalboy"? qixel raised certain "windows" which are still openLaughing

theoreticalboy

What?  I have no recollection of this.  And, since it's my thread, no such questions were raised, and no such person as qixel exists.

Well, well, well, maybe you would like to repeat your claims at Chess.com headquarters, whoever you are? I knew you weren't theoreticalboy just by the way you said "recollection" in the quote above. You definitely have an accent! Far too many syllables in the word "recollection" for you to be able to hide it!

theoreticalboy

No, you see; the point is, if people didn't cheat, my rating would be at least 4800.

theoreticalboy

Why has this been moved off-topic?  This is important!  The whole community must know!

hahahaha. 

that reminds me, isn't there some 1200ish player that always claims to be smarter than GMs but for some reason their score here doesn't show their true prowess?  They post inane things like "never sacrafice a pawn because you wont be able to promote to 8 queens" or some such?

electricpawn

Maybe they thought that since you're only theoretical it doesn't matter, boy. And don't scoff at the "8 Queens Opening."

Good point.  I'm not going to renew my diamond membership unless Erik steps in and stops this farce of a final.
