Well I drove Kasparov into retirement!

| Sure, I start training again and Garry bails out on me, just as I was
beginning to prepare to dethrone him in ten years. Wuss.
He's whining about all the WORK he has to do to stay on top. Sounds almost
like anyone can jump in at any age now if they are willing to do the work,
since all the theory is updated so rapidly.
Poor Garry, so distracted and lazy. As the hardest working chessplayer in
America, I welcome the explosion of theory, and have no problem booking up
to move 20 or 30 and beyond. In fact, I believe chess is on the way to
being reduced to a tablebase much the way checkers is, and in the future,
near-perfect games can be played at ONE minute per side.
If Garry can't rise to that level of intensity, he's better off spewing
about politics or doing something less abstract and much more subjective.
Long live the EX-champion!

| It appears some dimwits took my very sarcastic post seriously.
For the record, I don't believe that Kasparov was driven into retirement by
me. I do, however, think that perhaps he sees a revolution brewing on the
chess servers and didn't feel like intensifying his training to keep up.

Not even the dimmest of wits could take your puffery seriously.
You remind me of a type my dad used to talk about. Around April, they
would be swinging a bat, "training" for the baseball season. August,
throwing a football around, "training" for football season. December,
shooting baskets, "training" for basketball season.
Trouble was, they never played any of those sports, just as you never
play in chess tournaments, but are always spouting off about
"training." If you are the hardest working chess player in America, you
have nothing to show for it. Except for a crappy bullet rating. Whoopee.

Whoopee.
One day I was riding the commuter rail and the conductor was conversing
with a grade-school lad who maintained that he was in training. But
the conductor couldn't get him to say what he was training for.
When the conductor had to get up to board passengers at the next stop,
I spoke to the boy. I told him the conductor's cap said "Trainman."
So I told him he ought to say he was in training to be a trainman.
