Carlsen probably prefers it very slowly roasted on a spit.
Tal probably gave his opponent most of the grains, and then let him choke on the last 3.
why does carlsen like it slow roasted?
You ever see any of his games? He's not one for the quick attack, he likes the long slow grind :)

I play about 2 or 3 games a week online and 1 or 2 OTB every Tuesday night.
i like corn on the cob too
let's play farmers chess
It would probably be a good form of endgame training for regular chess.

i saw a farmer playing chess today at a farmer's market.
i thought it was interesting that it was taking him a very long time to move and think. and then he hung his queen. this demonstrates that a lot of people are not good at tactics.

i was referring to a poster above me who first spoke of maize.
maize in the north american sense was an evolutionary plant from an early grass in meso-america.
in rome as in olde england, corn referred to grains of all types and not to the common corn we north americans think of when we think of corn.
nero wolfe liked corn cooked in an oven at 450 degrees for about 40 minutes if baked in the husk and cooked the same day as it was cut. he also did not wish to find dynamite in the box when delivered to his brownstone at west thirty-fifth street ( on that day, fearing dynamite, he sadly put the box of corn in water and thus made it inedible ( to his standards ).
I've read a lot of those books. :)

it seems like a waste of food. it could feed a lot of hungry chess players
Farmers are pretty sharp. They know when to harvest their crops.
Their living depends on it.

a lot of farmers are millionaires because they own big tractors and a lot of land and a barn and animals.
