SeanGGodley: we must focus all our attention on the upcoming World Championship.

Anand is boring as hell, but at least he is a man of honour.

We must never forget the disrespect which Topalov's jumped up stooge Cheparinov showed to Nigel Short.

This disregard for the Anglosphere is shocking. I regard it as a personal insult against both the Queen, and the Union Jack itself.

The malevolent and putrescent animus of the Bulgarian camp dictates our response. The enemy of our enemy is our friend.

[SeanGGodley]

Agreed, we must focus on it soon! I have to disagree with your opinion about Anand - he's far from boring! Did you see him playing Kramnik in 2008 for the World Title? Fireworks! Also he is a great guy and a gentleman. I agree totally with your opinion of Topalov, however - and for the above reasons I am 100% behind Vishy. Roll on April!

It must feel great to be so good in the game as to want to mess up a tournament encounter just for kicks, offer a chivalrous draw, etc. :D Surely, a very amusing show this, and a good material for the last video of this very nice coverage you presented us with, Sean :)

I enjoyed myself really well, and I'm glad to have discovered your channel -- I'm planning to check out your earlier videos. Thanks!

[SeanGGodley]

For sure man I agree with you! Enjoy the earlier videos, let me know what you think!

What was the point of posting this game? Really terrible play. Even a patzer like me could have done better. There's really no benefit to posting it, much less analyzing it.

[GoldenJoe]

What an awful game, even for messing around. You said this was GM level???
