  perfidious: Opening line on that prop with Ladbrokes is -350.

The line on whether Chicago is mentioned is currently: off. Maybe it will go up at something like -10000.

  offramp: I read Emory Tate (kibitz #269) and I was amazed that this excellent chess player had a son who was a low-life. I thought Andrew Tate was British, but I now know he has dual nationality.

I wonder if Andrew Tate can play chess at a non-beginner level.

Mar-19-24  SugarDom: Yes. Andrew Tate can play chess besides being an MMA fighter.
Mar-29-24  ADmightywarriorIN: offramp... i dont appreciate when you call people low lives without proof... if his job is to beat the shyt out of people,well that's his job, not being lowlife... AGAIN TATE'S LAST GAME, LIKE BAGIROV'S, WAS WAS THE OUTCOME SINCE THEY CROAKED AT THE CHESS TABLE...
Apr-08-24  Ilkka Salonen: No, no. All brits are somewhat daft not just Andrew Taft, or americans.

  offramp: Two of Emory Tate's sons are still marooned on Romania. Perhaps they'll both spend their entire lives in prison 😂😆.

  Williebob: Apparently the brothers are under 'house arrest' in Romania as the case drags along.

Also, there are charges of sexual assault percolating in the UK.

To the many faces of <Mighty Nida>, I would say that the "low life" epithet flows effortlessly from a single glance at Andrew Tate's online commercial storefront, Hustlers University.

Borrowing the famous phrase from the recently passed Noel Parmentel: "Would you buy a used car from this man?"

  FSR: Andrew Tate is in high spirits:

<Andrew Tate, a manosphere influencer and self-proclaimed misogynist, has, as expected, been on a tear on X following Trump’s election.

"I saw a woman crossing the road today but I just kept my foot down. Right of way? You no longer have rights," he wrote in one post. "The men are back in charge," he said in another. And in a repost of a woman saying she's "asking for a President who isn’t a rapist," Tate wrote "REQUEST DENIED."> https://www.teenvogue.com/story/emb...

Nov-09-24  dehanne: How deplorable.

  offramp: Emory Tate 's assistants are called "Emory's Aides". His sons are making PILES.
Nov-10-24
Premium Chessgames Member
  Fusilli: <offramp> I don't get it. Emory Tate had assistants? He didn't have money to have assistants. He wasn't precisely well off.
Nov-10-24  stone free or die: <Fusilli> I think <offramp> is having a go at some punning humor.

I wasn't able to find it via the internet, but perhaps "Emory's Aides" is a medical creme available at your local London druggist?

(Presumably costing less than a pile)

  offramp: In my local library there's an entry in the big book.

"Emerods is an archaic term from the bible. Derived from the Old French word emoroyde, it was used as the common English term until the nineteenth century, after which it was replaced in medicine by a direct transliteration of the Ancient Greek, αἱμορροΐς, haimorrhoḯs."

  Fusilli: <stone> <offramp> oh, I see... Not being a native English speaker, I'm not too good picking up wordplay when pronunciation is key.
Nov-11-24  stone free or die: <Fusilli> - I didn't get all of it either, as consolation. Who knew we'd get a lesson in word origins?

Of course, we missed the origins of the synonym:

  Ron: Andrew Tate recently posted the below on X (formerly Twitter):

Remember when they plastered me all over international news saying I was a human trafficker and after 3 years of investigation, 4 house searches, every hard drive checked the Judge gave it back to Dicott saying there wasnt enough evidence?

I was in jail for this, now they say theres no evidence of crimes.

And after having my whole life analysed in an attempt to destroy my influence what came out? No sexual perversion, they couldnt even find a single girl to complain against me.

Im literally the cleanest person you can find.

No steroids, no drugs literally nothing.

Imagine any of these liberals having this kind of investigation the depravity that would appear.

I am very proud of the reputation theyve given me for anyone with a brain.

  saffuna: Yeah, right.
Nov-23-24  stone free or die: Here's a summary from the <NYT> about four days ago:

<<What happens next?>

A court in Bucharest in March said that the Tate brothers could be extradited to Britain, but only after legal proceedings in Romania were completed; the court ruled that the brothers could be released in the immediate term. The Romanian authorities have seized part of their assets, including luxury goods and cryptocurrencies. The brothers have appealed that decision, so far without success.

A date has not yet been set for the Romanian trial: Lawyers for the brothers have said that they will also fight that decision, which is not final. With the indictment returned for changes in November, prosecutors will soon decide whether to move again for a trial. In the meantime, they have been barred from leaving Romania, a judicial decision which is periodically reviewed.>

He's involved with both the Romanian and British judicial systems.

  Ron: The New York Times article is from 4 days ago. The Andrew Tate tweet I reprinted is from about 6 hours ago (from the time of my comment here).

  saffuna: I would be wary of accepting what a sleazebag like Andrew Tate says as the truth without confirming it.
Nov-23-24  dehanne: Andrew Tate would make a good Romanian ambassador.
Nov-24-24  stone free or die: Let's try to damp down the speculation and deal with the facts:

<Romanian appeals court has found in favor of influencer Andrew Tate this week, who is facing multiple charges in Romania, including human trafficking and rape.

On Tuesday, the Bucharest Court of Appeal accepted Tate's appeals and those of Tristan Tate, Manuela Naghel, and Luana Radu in their case against the Bucharest Tribunal's decision to advance their case to trial. The court cited significant irregularities in the prosecution's case and violations of the defendants' legal rights.

However, in the wake of the decision, misleading claims began appearing on social media, overstating the outcome of the appeal court's ruling.>

https://www.newsweek.com/fact-check...

I can understand <Andrew Tate> statements, but he's not in the clear yet. And this wouldn't be the first time a prosecutor has been reeled back (keeping in mind they often still win their case afterwards).
