Kamsky should retire.
Kamsky should retire.
Hang on, do you think Kamsky should retire?!
ivanchuk!
Kamsky should never have come out of retirement.
Kamsky has not been able to perform well against the best players since his match against Topalov. It seems to me he is not managing his time well and/or has lost confidence in himself. I hope he can come back on track so USA shall have Kamsky and Nakumara battling the best in the world as Fischer Random World Champion Nakumara is doing!
I agree that guy should definitely stick to a non-chess activity.retire Kamsky
That was nice opening play by Aronian. That can’t be a very common line.
Ivanchuk’s win was very 19th century. Yowza!
Kamski should retire? Does it by the same type of reasoning follow that you shouldn’t be making those comments because you don’t write like Dostojewski and know precious little about Kamsky’s innermost motivations? Why don’t you retire from saying such shallow things?
That game by Ivanchuk against Alexeev.. Often so called brilliant games probably are, but they are mostly over my head. But this game somehow isn’t. It’s just so wonderfully Mozartly clear! His Chukness did it again.
Kamsky can come back to the US and put his law degree to work. If he loses there as often as he;s losing now, he should go to work for the USCF.
