Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
I am sorry to say Mr. Wang your paper credentials do not match up. A further investigation is need.
Can you please explain why you purchased 10 in-room movies in less than 30 minutes?
What were you watching?
No, we can afford only a $30 set.
Okay…you had the Kung Pao, right?
vfvigSorry, sir, but you’ll have to leave. There’s been a terrible mistake. It appears that we actually invited a ” Mr. Yue Wang”, not
“Wang Yue”.
“Our electronic scans found an abscess on the right knee, a herniated disc near the fifth lumbar vertebra, and some inflammation of the duodenal papillae.”
-Detective Han, on this boarding card here we have an entry of some guy called Rolph Gybriyski and this other paper says I did it……. any connection?
-Im not Han, Im Wang Yue!
-Whatever Mr.Han
I know we both look like a hedgehog, but I am not Michael Adams. Look at the name on my ticket.
Jeez, Wang!! I thought I clearly said not to record your moves in Chinese?!!
looks like a note from a fan…it says…”why are your pants riding so high, how can you play with that wedgy?”
