Hore set for hefty ban
26 Nov 2012
New Zealand hooker Andrew Hore has been cited for an off-the-ball incident which subsequently hospitalised Wales lock Bradley Davies.
Hore hit Davies off the ball during the initial stages of last Saturday’s Test in Cardiff. The incident was missed by matchday officials, but Hore has now been cited and looks likely to receive a lengthy suspension.
The time and date of the hearing, before the IRB’s appointed independent judicial officer, have yet to be fixed.
All Blacks coach Steve Hansen expects the hooker to be sidelined for some time. Hansen did not say as much, but has already called for a replacement ahead of the coming Test against England.
Dane Coles is expected to start at Twickenham.

@BrumbiesBoy-23134: that’s like demanding kudos for nearly s.hagging melinda bam.

@Heavens Game-23150: The ELO rating, in my opinion, has a lot of drawbacks.

@Heavens Game-23150: Throw in Steinitz. Love that dude’s genius.

@Taahirah-23154: Spassky, Short
11 Jan 2013, 13:20 pm
@willievz-23155: Spassky? Not a fan.
Boring, though predictably consistent.
In rugby terms he’d be a Wynand Olivier versus Fischer as Sonny Bill.
11 Jan 2013, 13:26 pm
@Taahirah-23156: Lol, fair assessment
For me, Fischer is the best endgame player in chess history, but he first needed to get to a position where he could utilise his bishop and rook to good effect. Getting there was his biggest challenge.
His life story is fascinating.

@Angostura-23149: like the “Match of the Century”, 1972, Iceland… Fischer vs Spassky… controlled, “sterile” environments…??? farken undereducated mutt…
Go expand your horizons past cricket as some sort of exercise in ultimate strategy…

@willievz-23153: They protect their ratings… Also most of the top 100 have ratings as high or even higher than past Masters… I cant imagine Anand even coming close to Fischer at his best…

Kallis gone.
I have a bad feeling about this test.
Elgar and Kleinveldt are making me nervous.

@willievz-23161:
Elgar makes everyone nervous.

@Heavens Game-23158:
I followed the Match of the Century intently as it was playing out.
It alters nothing about what I said about cricket & the distinction I drew between cricket & chess.
You are the one that’s demeaning cricket; I’m not demeaning chess; I’m just pointing out obvious differences (& please bear in mind that it was you, not me, that sought to draw chess into a discussion of the merits of cricket).
&
re “farken undereducated mutt…”?
How would you know? You might be surprised.
Be that as it may, I see you are a Grand Master at hurling personal insults & abuse whilst “debating” issues with others. Whilst that is no indication of education/lack of education, it sure is an indication of lack of self control, discretion, shallow thinking & breeding.

“indication of lack of self control, discretion, shallow thinking & breeding.”

@Angostura-23166: Not insults, not uncontrolled… but focused little truths about this farken farce called cricket… You, little fella, were the instigator of bullshitting “cleva” ness and it seems it has backfired with you now suddenly whining softcockk “thats not cricket” style…
For a fool to even try to place cricket even near chess as a pinnacle of strategic/tactical thinking is undereducated at the very least and downright idiotic…
Now dry your legs and continue watching this excuse for a real sport… forget about other comparatively elevated true contests of strategy, skill and physicality such as chess, football and rugby… too much for your cricketing sensitivities to take clearly…

@Heavens Game-23170:
You are placing words in my mouth:
“to even try to place cricket even near chess as a pinnacle of strategic/tactical thinking” – I never suggested that – I was talking about sport, real physical sport, out there in the open, contending with the vagaries of the elements, etc. In the first instance when I spoke about strategy, tactics & war games, I was speaking about sport, not board games. You my friend, are lancing windmills that you yourself had erected (in that you brought chess into the discussion).
Your persistent attacks upon cricket, coupled with your response to my counter is needless silliness born of wanton irascibility. Go make peace with yourself.

@Angostura-23176: My point was that even board games are more sporting than this current corrupt mess of a sport… Just in case you missed that while trying to think up big words like marmalade such as irascibility to show how “educated” you may be
11 Jan 2013, 15:09 pm
@Heavens Game-23178: And of course my point is more rational and thus more important than yours…

Hi, sorry i had to rush out so i only just saw your post.
Yip, Bowie brough out his fist new material in 10 years- the single “Were are we now” is aready on I Tunes, the Album will be released in March.
“Where are we now” is quite haunting, he is clearly referring back to his time in Berlin:
“Had to get the train
From Potsdamer Platz
You never knew that
That I could do that
Just walking the dead
Sitting in the Dschungel
On Nürnberger Strasse
A man lost in time
Near KaDeWe
Just walking the dead
Where are we now?
Where are we now?
The moment you know
You know, you know
Twenty thousand people
Cross Bösebrücke
Fingers are crossed
Just in case
Walking the dead
Where are we now?
Where are we now?
The moment you know
You know, you know
As long as there’s sun
As long as there’s sun
As long as there’s rain
As long as there’s rain
As long as there’s fire
As long as there’s fire
As long as there’s me
As long as there’s you “

I see it’s business as usual here on Keo.
No difference between chess and cricket HG
Kallis is King Kallis, Castle is Castle Corner, Knight can be Cheverolet Knights, Bishop can be Ian Bishop etc etc.
Too many similarities to be dismissed as pure chance don’t you think?

Gary visited SA a few times over the last year.
He threw quite a tantrum during a simultaneous match when the organisors indicated beforehand that a 2000+ player is a 1300 and as a result he did not manage his time accordingly and landed in trouble against the player.
It was on you tube- quite embarrassing for the organisors actually.
