GM Vladimir Kramnik! I have none intention to go slow on you, being overly polite. Etiquette has no place here. It is interesting how you choose to go for a swim, into a wild ravishing ocean to investigate cheaters. I may understand your intenti...

So lets talk about it. I'm an open book - my arms wide open. Come here. Lets just hug. I have highs, lows and my mood is never really balanced. Never really sound. I had a really good friend, Jerry, a German Shepard. He thought me what love r...
