Re: Nigel Short in contention this weekend
Nigel, you know how the world works. So, when you volunteered a number of controversial assertions about women chess players, surely there must have been a voice at the back of your head cautioning that if and when you might lose to a much lower rated female player, there would inevitably be a lot of fun at your expense? (Not just on this forum, that is wishful thinking on your part ...).

Are you placing much confidence in the value of reason here
"Do you play chess?"
"Yes, but I prefer a game with a better chance of cheating."

Meanwhile, the young lady has made a draw in the final round. She might have played on, but has guaranteed a share of first prize and a GM norm, capping a superb tournament. Nigel is giving someone a good thumping.

I have removed some posts and granted Nigel his ban wish for 24 hours which hopefully is sufficient time to calm down.Nigel Short wrote: ↑Sat Jan 08, 2022 8:57 pmOr not, in the case of some miserable twats on this forum.
Yes - and please ban me. That will do me a big favour.

Re: Nigel Short in contention this weekend
A fair verdict. Nigel went somewhat OTT, but to be fair to him, the pain of defeat is very, very bitter.

True. I doubt any of us haven't experienced several very painful losses. Very few, fortunately, react to defeat in such an unpleasant manner.

Nigel describes himself as grumpy as Korchnoi after his last defeat.
Now, that really is saying something!
