Aronian won Bilbao 2009. Congratulations!
Shirov got the shove-off!
Lionel did you see my response to you in that other post?
Here is it again for you:
“It’s not white per se who has the advantage, it’s the one who has the first move that has the advantage (which traditionaly happens to be the one with the white pieces).
Someone has to begin first, or you think that players should first engage into a fist fight over the right to the first move???
If black would move first (like your stupid proposal) then it would be black who would have the advantage. Not because it’s black, but because he moved first. So what would be the diference??? NONE. One side would still have the advantage – the one who moves first.
We are not going to change +500 years of tradition because some idiot thinks that white having the first move is somehow discriminatory for black.
Besides the chess pieces are not always black and white, but come in different coulours. Also I have never seen a man who would be WHITE and I never seen a man who would be BLACK.
If you have inferiority complex because of the colour of your skin, then this is your problem. But leave chess alone.”
“If you have inferiority complex because of the colour of your skin, then this is your problem. But leave chess alone.”
I think Lionel is a great sport!
He has to contend with people who only posses little white pawns compared to his big black bishop.
Am I right, brother Lionel?
This is the second time I get no response from Lionel.
Something wrong?
Mr, Anon i just read your message and i must say that it is historically inaccurate, white hasnt been moving first for 500+ years and U.S.C.F have admitted this is a “recent” idea and they sent an email with the facts.Yes i think chessboxing adds a bit of flavor to the game,cant wait to get to Germany for a live match!.The rules of chess apply equally to both players except for this one for white so i am merely “fighting” for equal rights in chess and when necessary i will take theses people to the highest courts on earth for discrimination ,and since you’ve asked i am beginning this process now as a matter of fact.Steinz and the boys lived in a time when being WHITE was a big advantage to them, now we live in a time of change, just look at the White House that should answer your inferior complex idea! Yo Brother Bear i wont go there,family show!! hehe.
You are a freaking lunatic Lionel.
Susan,
These posts about who goes first in chess have nothing to do with the topic, which should be Aronian’s fantastic performance. Please delete them.
Yeah, Aronian is amazing, yadda yadda yadda.
We have a more interesting topic here: Is white having the first move in chess discrimination against the black.
I’m “black” (like I said I have newer seen a WHITE man and I never saw a BLACK man in my life) and I think Lionel is nuts. He really must have some sort of inferiority complex so he sees discrimination everywhere.
I suggest you get some help.
