Chess Enquirer, January 2010

In this month’s magazine:
Shocking KGB leak reveals: Russian lab clones two-headed chess master. Putin told scientists: “Get the chess championship back from that Indian!”
Gata Kamsky caught in gay scandal! (say sources)
The Silman – Nostradamus connection: how you can prepare for Armageddon
Chess Enquirer contest: Can you look nerdier than Kramnik?



You can tell this is ’shopped — look at how the outline of the wrist doesn’t match the background.
Why you bustin’ on Kamsky?
Reply to Derek SlaterANOTHER work of genius that will live on into Future History. The only thing that could make it better would be someone in a bikini. Hopefully a girl.
Reply to Robertum, hello? robert pattinson secret chess genius.
Reply to annieKarpov? These days, Karpov is not in the very best of shape chess-wise, so he could prove to be a liability.
Reply to CMoBIf you really wanted to have ridiculous headlines, you should have added “New Jersey Nets win a game — by double digits!”
Reply to Egg Fu Yung@Derek: That’s because I busted on Joel Benjamin last time.
@Robert: Have you seen that show on the History Channel “Life After People”? Well, when they get to 10,000 years after people and everything’s gone, a visiting alien will still that know that this magazine existed.
@Annie: With that comment, you have now made LEP the #1 Google listing for the search “robert pattinson secret chess genius”. I don’t know how to thank you.
@CMoB: Well, the original Karpov sucks now, yeah. But remember, this is just a baby…he’s only going to get better.
@Egg Fu Yung: I still wanted it to seem a little realistic. (That win was against the Clippers so it doesn’t count as a real win.)
Reply to The MascotWell, dagnabit. I’ve been working on a Robert Pattinson Secret Chess Genius draft for weeks. Scooped again.
Reply to Derek SlaterObviously, your job at CIO is getting in the way of your job at Reassembler.
Reply to DonnieCSO. And yes.
Reply to Derek SlaterEr, yes, CSO. I knew that. It’s just that the “S” and “I” are practically right next to each other on the keyboard.
Reply to Donnieyay me.
Reply to annieI’m not ignoring you, I just don’t know how to respond. And now there are 10 comments for this post, which gives the illusion that there were a bunch of people commenting on this post.
