Kamsky is done with chess

My son is Kamsky's best friend and he told me that Kamsky is done with
chess. He hasn't won a tournament is ages and he is broke. We need to
import more grandmasters from Russia.

I vote to open up the borders so all grandmasters can defect to
America.

What day was that? Checking Soltis' "The United States Chess
Championship 1845-1996" I do not see a double round-robin tournament
anywhere, just knockout and single round-robins.

Didn't he win the Mayors Cup .Just won the World Open and played First
Board for the Bronze winning USA at the recent Chess Olympiad.It seems
to me he took 2nd Place in the M-Tel Masters trailing only Topalov.If
my memory is accurate he beat Anand in that event.

Onischuk is very good.I know there is no interest for a Match
between the 2 but I think Kamsky would hold his own.
While the
USA Championship has been a sucess I think it is time to get just the
strongest 12 players and go for the Double Round Robin format as they
did back in the day

It's time for Kamsky to go away from chess. He can't win anymore.

They're both lying. Gata ain't quitting and he also didn't win a
tournament in over 10 years.

There's no such tournament. There's nothing about it on the net. Innes
is lying again.

I know your not the True Sam Sloan. Sam Sloan is a total degenerate
and sleaze but he would never say that about Kamsky.

I don't believe you. It sounds like you anyway. And you're right,
Kamsky hasn't won a tournament in this century.

Kamsky hasn't won a tournament in over 10 years. He's a bum. He can't
win anymore. Onischuk is much better.

Did Kamsky win any tournament in the last 10 years? He's over the hill.
Onischuk is the best player in America today.

No, as I recall, Gata Kamsky did not complete his medical studies.
He did graduate from a law school, and he may be certified to
practise law in a US state.
