I has never broken a toilet, but, once upon  a time, I did aim some thug in the direction of one - an' he came kinda second in the ensuing collision Smile

Has anyone seen a number used concerning the frequent toilet breaks ?  I mean, did he go 2 or 3 times,  20 times , more ?  Was this happening in only one game, or several, or all ?

In this thread, you'll find a picture of the rest rooms, links to Danailov's press statement, and Danailov's incriminating timing of walks between the rest room and the en suite bathroom.

I don't find the comparison accurate, but people feel bad about a LOT of things. That's no reason to be quiet about them.

Leaving everything else aside, Danailov's "approximation" of 50 visits per game is simply a lie anyway.

Actually I have done nothing to violate the TOS unless sarcasm is a violation.

Of course it was not my intent to call you stupid but from the softness of your posts I should've expected it from you...

So don't be insulted by everything I say though it must be hard for you.

It was never meant to be an insult.

*sigh*


"it was never meant to be an insult"...thank you for that clarification.  But please remember that in chats, input words like 'stupid' is often taken by the receipient as a direct assault on his person.  You may not put it directly, but the mere mention of it implies that it may be so.  Let us generate a much more friendly chess atmosphere.Cool

C'mon people isn't it obvious?

Topalov refused a handshake from Kramnik cos' Vladimir forgot to wash his hands after taking a crap. Man is just afraid of bacteria. I fully understand the issue...

Maybe it's a cultural thing...no handshaking...no talking...Laughing

then at one interview, Topalov said that he dreamt about Kramnik walking with him down a street, they were talking, laughing together if I recall correctly...
