Is that your best move? I’m not impressed.
Can I watch youtube on this thing?
Electronic device hidden
in mouth escapes detection.
Upper: So that is this new electronic time-keeping device we were told of.
Lower: Now I’ve seen it all. Good that I took part in this tournament.
Upper :
– Kramnik : … and what’s this ? A kind of clock or something ?
– Others : Oh no ! It’s just an automatic tic-toc device, animated by mexican jumping beans to make some typical noise during the games !
Upper: Are you sure that the clock has been rigged according to my specifications?.
Lower: Guess I was playing ‘hope’ chess. Didn’t think my opponent would be smart enough to make the right move!
all tongue in cheek. Hope Kramnik has a sense of humour!
Upper:
“Aha, this is the new Topalov time regulator, with a cable to the toilet!”
Lower:
“This insufficient plus of a pawn is a stick in my nose, indeed.”
thats kind of them showing me my next moves. i like this thing.
hmm aronian seems to be shown good moves too. thats hard.
Hm.. since Campomanes started my clock I better check that FIDE didnt deduct 20% of my time.
I give up. There is no difference between these two flags.
Campomanes: “Young man, I won the match for Karpov, and I can do the same for you.”
Second picture (taken while playing versus Grischuk):
“Making faces worked against Morozevich well. He took so many time watching me that he came in serious time trouble and I could knock him out.
If the same trick works against Grischuk now, too?”
(it almost worked)
That would finally be a reason why they both played so slow against Kramnik.
Btw: Kasparow’s faces where much better, Kramnik is not the world champion in making faces, Kasparow sometimes was. 😉

boy am i sorry susan is playing again …
“Aww, man, I’ve got some Chorizo stuck in my teeth.”

“Ok guys, nice clock but how do we get it to stop playing La Cucaracha?”
It’s time to go to the toilet. Have they connected those wires, I wonder?
“As a World Champion, Kramnik hired two men to press the clock for him during the whole game”
Campo: Gee, Veselin looks a lot less weaselly than he used to.
Other Guy: Uh, no, sir, let me explain…
“Anand is playing the Center Counter against me?“
(Reference is to this)
That was for the second photo. For the first one, I have Florencio Campomanes speaking:
“Yes, new idea to make it easier for spectators: when you overstep the time limit, your flag falls!”
(Very glad to see Campo in fine shape to attend the tournament, after his automobile accident in Turkey earlier this year.)
1st: Which flag is mine?
2nd: Hah!, this one is in my pockets: I am playing my own country man; the KGB must have paid him to lose.
Upper: “Wait a minute. Who slipped in the weather radio in place of the chess clock?”
Lower: “Ugh. Those burritos I ate last night are going to give me lots of bathroom breaks today.”

Upper: “If I don’t stop looking at those flags, I’ll never be able to make my first move.”
Lower: “Ugh. Pass the Imodium, please.”
Sam in Lubbock
do not do that to the bishop again….
