Gary Kasparov Arrested

with a bloke like that in charge of FIDE, one wonders why people think chessers are bonkers!

anyway i'm jacking chess in!!

who's with me ?

-.-'

i love chess , so one of my dreams (who will never come true ) is geting to be an IM maybe a GM , that means i want FIDE to recognize my achievements , give me a tittle of whom ill be proud for the rest of my life , many of you write bad things about fide , you might be right i dont know but i bet all of you share my dream  so i believe you are just bitter for not having what it takes ( i have no idea what that is) to fulfill your dream.

The Aliens just did one thing wrong, they should have kept IIyumzhinov with them in their Spaceship and then taken him to their Planet  lol.

Iksarol, to become a titled player you need to be among the world's best 1%, not around 1700 chess.com elo (which is roughly about 1400 FIDE elo. IM starts around 2400.). Neither of us even remotely has what that takes.

We all live in free countries and we may express our opinions about the FIDE or its leadership whenever we like. This has nothing to do with bitterness. Do you think all football players who criticize the FIFA do so because they are not world class football players?

i totally agree with you , criticizing its what makes them (FIFA< FIDE etc.) be better , i do disagree tho , with those who are just flaming , a constructive critic will make things better a person who flames and breaks apart from the organism who makes the game interesting (again FIFA,FIDE , etx ) just creates chaos .

OK, constructive critic: Remove a crazy guy who was abducted by aliens, was friends with Gaddafhi and Saddam Hussein, and had cheated his way to FIDE presidency and replace him with a sane person. Karpov for example.

Can we get rid of Sepp Blatter too! :)

You have an 1100 chess.com rating because you had around 300 games running and then lost all of them because your mother told you so.

If you want that title to be proud of for the rest of your life, you'll first have to pay for it out of your own pocket, Drivers License Guy.  That's pretty much SOP from the lame-o organization that you're trying to defend.

I can smell the condescesion oh my bad its a pos muppet always there with his $.02 no matter how patronizing or uninformed 

there was a noisemaker named Jeb

who raised a big stink on the web

his well-informed words

about muppet turds

showed his IQ was less than a deb

funny guy.  i don't bullyrag people you do.  every now and then i go to the forums there you are being yourself. i jerk your collar to remind you well that you are a.... you know how the sentence ends 

I don't bullyrag people either (whatever that means).  I give my opinions.  If you don't like em, senor, well I guess you're just being yourself too. 

Callin sum1 driver licence guy isnt nice either andy..and this dude who said 1700here is 1400fide?i would hate to think!

Hey if you're talking about ways to become a titled player, go the "National Master" route.  This is one way to do it:

1700 here is about 1400 USCF (which I suppose equates to FIDE, more or less).

And I call him Drivers License Guy because he's the only guy I've ever seen to use a drivers license picture for his avatar.  I don't consider it unkind, merely a bit whimsical.  And watch out who you're calling not nice, lest you jump to a conclusion or two (and end up seeming not so nice yourself). 

Am jus not sure if he takes it kindly.was jus expressing my opinion.heck we could ask him!anyway.am more concerned bout the ratings.gotta work on my game!

Well, people are very much given to being offended by anything and everything nowadays, an attitude which I (obviously) don't share, and indeed rather deplore.  If DLG wishes, he can call me a Hamburger Head...or Muffin Head...or Stuffed Toy...or Piroshki Face (actually, I thought that one up myself)...or Muppet Turd...or any one of a number of other epithets which have been hurled in my direction over the course of time.  I don't mind. 

And honestly Changu, if working on your game was that important to you, I don't think you'd spend a fraction of the time that you do on here just jawing and shooting the breeze. 

Muahaha!  Zing!
