[b]rant Why does the RHP crowd always do this? Major on the minor in a post. This is supposed to be about a player on this site playing in the EU individual championship not about some confused guys comment about weak players under 2650 or something.
I thought you would be "seconds" and give encouraging/practical advice rather than some circus act.[/b]

I'm watching Short v Gormally right now. Nigel has the white side of a Sicilian, and appears to be getting into time trouble. 24 moves in and he has 18 mins on the clock vs Gormally's 48 minutes. I'm waiting to see him come out with something brilliant after all that thinking...
EDIT- I forgot to mention, he's listed at 2676, so he might be able to come up with a good move or two.

There's a picture of Tebb posted in the pics section if anyone wants to actually visualize the person that is kicking the crap out of you every time.
EDIT: Now that I think about it, Tebb bears a pretty good resemblance to the famed Dane, Bent Larsen.

Originally posted by dottewellIt'd suprise you how hard the nuances of the english language are to pick up for the non-native speaker. I have friends that don't understand simple double meanings, sarcasm, or irony.

It's not always as clear cut as you would think.

Irony does not have to be "translated". It is apparent from the context. And if in doubt, best say nowt.
Originally posted by gambit3this thread should be about Tebb, i know, but i need to remain on the tangent and say that gambit's statement is completely stupid, and i hope he was drunk when he wrote it
I do not consider a player strong until they are rated at least 2650 in over the board play vs 2600 and higher rated players. Tebb is not that strong a player. Perhaps his correnspondence play is another matter. Tebb may be a very strong correnspondence player. There are no GMs in here to really test the top players.

Tollerance seems so hard for you, why ?

CLT is not stupid and this is not the first time she has attacked my posts. She could quite easily have attacked other people who have made the same joke in this thread, or better still said nothing. She got it wrong, and I'm entitled to defend myself.
It's over. Stop playing the forum Jesus, and let's get back on-topic.
