Chess players who make me laugh:
-- Those who talk smack in online chess
-- Players who solely play lower ranked players to inflate their rating
-- Players who uncork 10 years worth of opening prep for a single game (I am talking about you Vishy)
-- Players who whine about losing to people inferior than themselves (yes, that is you Nimzovitch)
If I lived back in the wild west days, instead of carrying a six-gun in my holster, I'd carry a soldering iron. That way, if some smart-aleck cowboy
said something like "Hey, look. He's carrying a soldering iron!" and started laughing, and everybody else started laughing, I could just say,
"That's right, it's a soldering iron. The soldering iron of justice." Then everybody would get real quiet and ashamed, because they had made fun of
the soldering iron of justice, and I could probably hit them up for a free drink.
