Chess people are Short Tempered. They fight a lot. Because the game
involves fighting and they master it they have good logic and are
intellingent.
Play a Game: http://www.GetClub.com/Chess.html
Anyone who can beat Beginner Level at GetClub Chess will be more
intelligent than 90% of the people in the world.
And if you can beat the Master Level you are more intelligent than 99%
prople of the world. And you are among top 1% intelligent people.

I cannot beat even the Beginner Level. Yesterday Beginner Level beat
Help Bot in 2/ 4 Matches So It is very difficult job to win Beginner
Level. And Master Level can be beaten only if you are a tournament
Player.

Is misspelling "intelligent" intelligent? (I guess
it's intellingent instead).

To play more than a total of five games at GetClub
is not terribly intelligent :-)

If they do it oce or twice, but not if they do it twenty times.

And how intelligent (or intellingent) are you, Sanny?
Are you in the top 99.99%? Perhaps not quite.

Sanny, quit hijacking everyone else's threads to plug your silly
program. Winther started this thread for a specific purpose and you
are out of line to switch it to your own ends.

It's sad to see a nationally syndicated columnist like Krauthammer
credulously and irresponsibly recycling the same old clich=E9d,
distorted, exaggerated, urban-legend sort of anecdotes about loony
chess players. These stories have gotten so twisted in the re-telling
that now they are maybe 10% fact, 90% fiction and embellishment. Yet
they're the ones that get repeated over and over. And we wonder why
chess is not very popular in America!
