is anyone mentally stable that plays chess?
If Bobby Fischer was mental stable and alive today, would he be posting in forums here today?
Oh he'd be obsessively getting into flame wars with everyone, especially when some nut would ask for a good move 4 in the Nimzo and then start arguing with him.
pretty much be cmibu
I am a newbie here, what is cmibu?
checkmateibeatu, one of the dullest trolls from around 4-5 years ago.
In his last years in Iceland, 2005...2007, did he make any use of internet?
It's said, despite of his claims of not being interested in classical chess anymore, once he was watching a game in TV (yes, they show chess games in TV in Iceland) and made a phone call to the program to spot a combo nobody had noticed.
