Other than Toaplov, of course....

 

DrSpudnik

Carlsen

heinzie

Nothing against the man personally, but I have never cared much for the moves Gelfand makes and his games of chess. And quite possibly he is our future world champion... :)

as far as chess is concerned, i find that shirov is not able to play well against players of this level. it seems that he wins when there are no other 2700+ around.... but easy for me to sayTongue out

Arctor

Topalov seems like a decent guy

Nakamura on the other hand seems like a monumental prat (typical American really Kiss )

Andnar

Nakamura

kamsky has always been awkward and a airhead to me.

Enough to know that at least one of them wouldn't get the joke

That was a joke?  But it wasn't funny!  Aren't jokes supposed to be funny?

DrSpudnik

Some are born to be lame.

Shirov used to be in the top 5 if I remember.  Some of his games were just incredible... even to me who probably didn't know half of what was going on anyway :)

I thought being a big drunk was a point of honor for them.

However Nakumura does seem like a douche..

I took Arctor's comment in good humor, and think it's unfortunate that the American responses have been so uptight.

Eh, it's better just to say your from Canada. That way we can continue pretending that all British people are snobbish morons.

I retract my statement you are correct haha.. and wafflemaster im not really uptight about it and get its a joke, but i still felt the need to say that. Maybe iv just been seeing these comments a lot lately. i just really hope europeans dont believe the typical americans are like how the media portrays us. Most of us are quite pleasant actually.

...unless our FIDE rating is over 2700!

And to answer the original question, I dislike them all equally!  If I ever had to play one of them, I'd use the 12-gauge defense!
