The latest scoop for Inside Chess was a controversial interview with Gata Kamsky
This so-called "latest scoop" was written in 1991, and is typical of the problems of Kamsky's enemies: they all have good reason to hate the father, but cannot get over their own egos enough to see the son in an honest light.
Remember that when this googlewhack was written, Gata was 17. He is now 38. Who of us can say that he did not grow up a lot between the ages of 17 and 38?
Kamsky was one of the most accessible GMs on the ICC server. He was quite popular there. People tried to bait him into a feud with Naka, but he would just shrug it off with something like, "you'll have to ask Hikaru about that." Classy guy.

Perhaps you can show me where Kamsky junior has apologized publicly for the actions of Kamsky senior? Or perhaps you can show me where Kamsky senior has apologized for his actions cause I can't see anywhere?

Why don't you show us exactly how children have a moral or ethical obligation to account for the actions of their parents. I always thought it worked the other way around.

Only an idiot wouldn't realize that THE ACTIONS of Kamsky Senior ON BEHALF of Kamsky junior caused offence to KAMSKY'S OPPONENTS and the wider chess community. Kamsky's father was KAMSKY'S MANAGER.
If your momma was rude/abusive to your friends/classmates, would this place you in good standing with them? Anyone with a common ounce of decency should be able to see what is right or wrong and if they can't they should see their brain surgeon.

Listening to you talk about decency is liking listening to Stevie Wonder try to sell me a telescope.

You have never heard of Parentification, obviously.

You are right, but Kamsky hasn't been a child for a good many years.

Is that why neither Kamsky senior/Junior haven't apologised? Perhaps you have seen details of the apology somewhere and you care to point it out? You can read Short's interview and his feelings on playing Kamsky long after the incident.
You should write an big article on chessbase with your stupid parentification theologies and see if that cuts any ice.

So when he was playing Short in 2007 he was still a child wasn't he? No he wasn't. He is old enough to have read in 2007 Short's interview and understood the situation.

I don't think you understood my post. Well, that seems to be par for the course. 😀
Gata may not be the most charismatic person in the world but I think he gets a healthy amount of respect for the way he composes himself in years since he came out of retirement.
As for Nigel's comments, lets not forget how Nigel can hold a grudge...
