Is IM Jeremy Silman chess Jesus?

Sort:

There are so many similarities. Some say too many to be a coincidence.

 

Silman speaks and mingles with lowly patzers and chess riff-raff many would consider too unclean to have any dealings with.

 

His books have a message for all chess kind and yet so many fail to follow his teachings.

 

Some say his books have worked miracles for them.

 

He has twelve followers and is persecuted by a large number of coaches ( think Pharisees ) some even crucify him for his popularity.

 

Both are called ‘master’

 

He had a beard once but generally looks like Jesus if you take away the long blond hair, blue eyes and perfect face.

 

Both their names start with a ‘J’ and both are Jewish.

I know right? I once heard a guy say How to reassess your Chess is like a chess bible to him.

And I am not saying this is fact but Silman has probably worn sandals at some point.

He's eaten bread and drank wine, hasn't he???!?

Everybody has eaten bread and drank wine, what are you saying?

And another thing: chess is life

Therefor : How to reassess your chess = how to reassess your life

Pretty Jesusy if you ask me.

You have to also ask, is this chess guy obsessed with fish..like you give him five and he goes and gets a hundred more, and does he embarrass you at the swimming pool by walking across the deep end when you are trying to dive in? These could be your pivotal questions.

Floating-Duck

I need a bit more research in that field...but I just know if Silman changes a pawn into a queen it won't seem weird to me.

more evidence.

Jeremy begins with j

chess begins with: C

J + C = Jesus Christ

By my oath! Yet more testimony. Thanks for gingerninja

He used to look like cat Stevens who is now Yusuf Islam.  So he might be Mohammad.  But then as cat sings ...

OK...so far we know Jeremy Silman is chess Jesus possibly Mohammad too. Didn't see that angle coming. But considering there is an m in both his name and surname there might be something to this last theory

Benko catches a glimpse of greatness and is overwhelmed.

People need to sit down when they see Silman, more evidence.

president_max

He's definitely a prophet as he talks about the endgame a lot.

Well, the evidence is pretty overwhelming. I am not even sure if we should look for more evidence or just post pictures of squirrels from here on.

An anagram of Jeremy Silman is MY NAME IS JERL...which could be him starting to say Jesus but getting dug in the ribs and changing it.

Ribs? Or is he Adam?
