"It is amazing discovery. Five centuries of chess theory overturned! You just put pawns like this, and then Rooks are worth less than Knights and Bishops!"
(see game with Radjabov:-)
"I am not responsible for this tie!"
"The fish was this big when I caught it -- after which I skinned it and made it into a tie."
Don't worry! I actually play BETTER when I'm drunk!
