Why did Djokovic win a point when he clearly returned it into the crowd? Fake.

I think you missed the joke. Anyway, yes, within the last few weeks I've noticed the html parser for comments handles embedded quoted comments differently when I'm in Chrome. IE still seems to work. >> ^Quboid:

Does anyone else get messed up quotes when they're nested several times? I think I've got them ever since switching to Chrome.


Er? No ... why would I say that sarcastically?
I feel I'm missing a joke here.

what brilliant advice. i'm sure in a million years he never would have thought of hitting the ball to his opponents backhand.

I'm pretty sure the fun nature of this video clip isn't so much the advice as it is how the Pro deals with the situation. In this case quite humorously, just in case you didn't stay to the end.


Nope, I caught your sarcasm. (I'm pretty sure you're well aware there is a sarcasm button, since you pushed it. It's fairly obvious to denote.)
It appears you missed my point (twice now). You were still making a sarcastic remark about what the fan said... the intention of the video is to point out how the player reacts. I can't explain this any more simpler.

no, actually, i made the sarcastic statement. i'm afraid you missed that bit.


You are absolutely correct. I'm an idiot. Arguing a stupid point on the internet about a video and lumped two different people's comments into one thought. I apologize and offer the last three remaining interments I have. Spend them wisely!

See you on the top 15, Viktor.

Thank you very much!!! Top 15 *fingers crossed*

Fischer was ridiculously dominant in his heyday, but comparing players across eras is difficult. Chess has become so much more professionalized now. The players train a lot harder, and more importantly they have computers to help them train, so in general players at the top levels now have a much tighter game than their counterparts in the 70s. It's kind of like tennis: if you judge based on dominance over his peers, Rod Laver is the greatest tennis player of all time, but I'm sure Federer, Nadal or Djokovic could absolutely spank Laver in his prime.
Still, you'll get no argument from me if you believe Fischer is a strong contender for the "greatest ever" title. I still prefer Kasparov, but I might be biased because Kasparov isn't a racist lunatic. It's good to know that it's possible for a person to be a transcendent chess genius and still be a functional human being.


Fischer is a stupid racist idiot. However Kasparov is a politician...soo not much better in my book.

#1 ranked in the world...I'll be Kasparov could come outa retirement and destroy this kid. Young whipper snappers. Also the FIDE rating is sort of messed up in certain ways. This guy though can play 10 games at once not looking at the board, that's a special sort of autism right there, pretty neat.

He has played Kasparov before, as he mentions at the end of the clip. They played two matches in 2004. One was a draw and Kasparov won the other one. Of course, Carlsen was only 13 back then, so I think he'd have a considerably better shot now. Anyway, very few chess players can hold a candle to Kasparov in his prime, but Carlsen is one of them, even though their playing styles are very different. Whether his career will be as impressive as Kasparov's remains to be seen, but he's definitely had a good start: youngest world number 1 ever, second highest FIDE ranking ever. He needs to win the World Championship now, but I'm sure that's coming. Incidentally, Kasparov actually coached Carlsen for a little while.

Fuck off with all this helpful information! Anyways Kasparov has been retired for a long time, so yeah Carlsen would probably take him. I still think FIDE rankings are bullshit, the best chess master ever as Fischer dammit!

I think it's completely understandable that they are required to listen to the Corporate Sponsor go on and on. After all, the players owe everything to them.

I kinda agree with this statement despite the sarcasm. The hater in me believes they're overpaid twats and I don't care if they suffer.


Nadal is definitely not a twat, that guy deserves nothing but respect, Djokovic has his moments though.
