The tournament was abuzz yesterday. The over rated Dowden after losing three times on the lower boards actually didn't lose! As one pundit proposed -
"If thinking poses at the board meant anything Dowden would be a Super GM!"
'Cornflake packet FM' Brian Jones again proves that FIDE titles aren't worth a cracker these days as he was completely outplayed by Paul "Highlander" Campbell.
Ahem, Theodore 'Cornflake packet FM' Brian Jones lost to David "Cannonball" Cannon yesterday. Believe it or not he actually beat "Highlander" today.
I admit, I was wrong ... my mistake... Btw How is your precious Joshie going? He had a totally crap tournament! You're not allowed to see him anymore, his rating might drop into the 1700s. No daughter of mine goes out with a 1700 player!!!! Ever! It's not going to happen!!!!
what drugs are you on?
At least he's not a coward like you! Who are you "Anonymous"?
