Why won't Chess.com pay child support?

And Soderling is strange guy...

That was hilarious, pdela!

Ah, the match that prompted the aforementioned comment; also the match where Nadal really grew up on grass.  He should be thankful

Anyway, Nadal's achievements on clay are numerous and will be lauded until the end of time.  What Soderling did, when he beat Nadal, was step far beyond himself, and that deserves its own celebration.  It certainly doesn't deserve to be tainted by bitterness from the defeated camp.

Anyway, Rafa takes so long to serve, you could eat lunch in between points. So I don't know why he was annoyed that Robin changed raquets

hahah :o)

these guys are better

Oh, I'm so glad to see that this thread is still alive and well. It is no surprise that the topic has seemed to turn to tennis. Has some agreement been reached by the World Tennis Federation (it has an abreviation but I won't mention it), and chess.com? That is absolutely fantastic.

I agree that it is absolutely unfair that just because people don't notice their children jumping  out second floor windows in superman costumes, simply  because their parents are busy considering  whether to trade off their bishop for a knight in the Ruy Lopez, that they are denied child support by chess.com.  Is this because it's a Spanish opening? Is chess.com guilty of racial discrimination?

Is it really out of line to smack your toddlers silly because they mess up your chess-board and swallow one of your pawns, and then you have to wait for it to come out the other end before you continue your game?

I must admit that I have kittens and not actual people-type children, so maybe the guidelines are a bit different, but I can't help but imagine that the situation is pretty much the same. If  I had actual people-children and were in the middle of a game, I would give them as many slim-jims as they want to distract them, just the same as I try to lure the kittens away with kitty treats. They even have slim-jims and cheese sticks in the same package - I can get these at a gas station while I'm considering my next move on my Android phone. Meat together with cheese is good protein. That's what growing kids need. Plus from what I understand, with children you don't even have to clean the litter box because they use the toilet.

@Trysts, I truly sympathize with your position, and wish you the best of luck. To not have financial support for you non-existent children must hurt as much as blundering away a bishop.

Thank you, LarryTroxler, well said It's not only my imaginary children Chess.com should support...excuse me...excuse me... But it's my imaginary point behind this post...I'm sorry......excuse me again......that Chess.com continues to neglect......excuse me...... that makes me sad...

Wow, Nadal destroyed Soderling! That was like watching a train wreck...

What did you think? :o)

Guy has played 6 times in Roland Garros losing one time out of...

I thought Soderling would play better. Nadal was his usual amazing self.

trysts, I think we all see through your farce. You work for the company that invented  and collects royalties for the  use of its copyrighted frowny-face emoticon, don't you?

And let me venture a guess: There's been somewhat of a fallout between your emoticon company and chess.com. And this is your way of getting back at them.

This all along had nothing to do with child support, did it? Admit it. Take a look at your quote above, trysts. Notice how it still sends the pathetically sad message even though there's no frowny faces?

Is (professional) tennis a sport?

I think when Nadal plays it, it's aggrevated assault

I share Ron Manager's views on professional sport ...

"Far cry from small boys in the park, string for nets; sticks for racquets. Serve underarm, overarm, round the wicket Two at the baseline, three in the middle, four by the net, one's gone home for his tea. Beans on toast? Possibly, don't quote me on that. Marvellous."
