Corus 2008 | The Game Short-Cheparinov

[33trilby]

cheparinov refused a handshake... ok this is the bulgarian education

[TEDOVSKY]

SHORT WON. (Nice . . . .)

[ibm88]

Short is smokin' hot

[cbthirty]

That handshake nearly killed Cheparinov.

[evarol]

@cbthirty it was almost a dead fish.

[WilliamLongfellow]

@cbthirty So true, he's never been the same. I hope he realizes some day that having Danailov as his manager's only gonna ruin his career.

[megadethly]

cheparinov is H-O-T

[gmwdim]

The part with Danailov laughing is the best.

[porcospino289]

The whole thing was badly handled. Chepy's original snub was fine -- Shorty'd said nasty stuff about the Topalov camp publicly; Chep wanted to stress his view of that. The rules say that Chep should have been given a warning about not shaking hands at the start of a game, but the officials were, typically, not up on the rules and forfeited him out of hand. The game shown here was played the day after the handshake incident, I believe. ... Comments about the players' appearance omitted :-)..

[RuudJH]

The bottomline is, the rules state you have to shake hands as a part of the sport decent behaviour (allthough Kramnik and Topalov never do, I guess they agree to disagree).

[tihomirsky]

I am a Bulgarian and you all can suck my eastern-European balls !!!

[gabisubis]

Well done Nigel.... Damn this Cheparinov is really dressed up like a cheap mafioso of the 70's

[DrDickk]

tapak !!

[Nimzomyth68]

Come on Short. Where are you? Must be using a Fischer psychology, turning up a little late.

[chessbuff]

good thing that short won the game.

[rampartible]

hahahah...maybe last tym u didnt wash ur hand . . .hahah

[acehimself]

The further East you go from England, the less important the basic concept of good manners and sportsmanship become. By the time you get to Bulgaria, Russia, etc. - it's practically non-existant. Nigel showed this little snot nosed brat how the game should be played.

[Goldicker]

Bulgarian Scum, they are all the same

[ksvideos]

Two litlle girls!

[ArubaG]

Fuck that bulgarian asshole!!

[fugazeton]

fuckyou short!!

[subhankar2505206]

Nice ending to what would otherwise have been a murky incident in chess history

[ArubaG]

Nigel is a down to earth guy. Hope to see him some day here in Aruba.

[chessrat2]

the name of the song is "handshake drug"

[fromatto]

Thank God Nigel won ! He was very brave to play. And thank God the asshole triumvirate of Top Chep and Dan lost.

[kilokilo1987]

Do not try to be a smartass or you fall into a position where you don't want to be.

[panjan77]

To me it looks like a draw. Why is this a winning position for white. Can somebody please explain? Thanks

[repsaccer]

After for instance Kxe7,Ke5 Kf7, Kd6 Kg7, Ke6 Kh8, Kf6 Kh7, Kf7 black has to abandon the pawn and the white pawn will promote.

[uberbum1299]

If you're still confused and would like a visual demonstration on how White can force a win, go to shredderchess[dot]com/online-c­hess/online-databases/endgame-­database.html Scroll down a bit, hit [Input FEN] at the bottom right and then paste the FEN notation: [8/4Rk2/6p1/3K2P1/8/8/8/8 b - - 0 72]. The tablebase has calculated lines for every possible continuation. Hope it helps. :)

[ScorpioGuy17]

Perfect song to this video.

[chessrat2]

what is the title of the song...

[ubernerd35]

see, after all that, short still won!

[wsajr]

I need know the name of the song!

=]

ChessVibes RULES!

[Burdell22000]

"Handshake drugs" by Wilco.

When they are handshaking, Chepa bows a little... could be resignation.

How many mins. late did Short arrive?

[wsajr]

They are so cutes shakehands! =]

[sallom899]
