How embarressing for Gaddafi

stay focused people - does anyone have the pgn? might be theoretically important.

on ITV news at 10 as well. Didn't see Seb Blatter play John Terry.

Next stop, The Hague for a quick hand of cribbage with Ratko Mladić.

Fair play to Ilyumzhinov, he stands by his mates - I believe he first got to know Gaddafi on that space ship.

Perhaps he is his new military strategy adviser.

Despite the precedent of Kasimzhanov v Adams, I guess we can rule out the possibility that Anand v Gelfand is going to be played in Tripoli...

I doubt Kirsan is brave enough to suggest a game of bullet chess.

I think this thread is some what unnecessary.

How about a caption competition?

Perhaps, but we may well have just ruled out anybody else wanting to fund anything to do with FIDE. Anyhoo, with those shades he's wearing, perhaps Gadaffi was hoping to be the next one to get a chance to make a GingerGM DVD?
