April_Fool_at_ChessBase[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

ChessBase made occasion for themselves to retract this laugher in year 2007: Lasker. These Fools Jokes are awkward way comedically to capture their undeserved authority, and the humor tries enforcing a class divide that is actually the exact reverse of what they think.

That covers about half of them since the millennium. In larger topics, at all of Chess Café/Base/Games they don't care any more that every available Chess program trounces Carlsen, and indulge Carlsen bragging he does not read books etc. Peculiarly they dished out three CVs in one year only, 2014, namely Tandem Pawn, Option Chess, and Switch Side Chain. They then saw the myriad possibilities as too much for conforming academic intellects. The history of Chess is even taboo, but do not put it past them to make it an April 1st hoax. Hey that's it, let's anticipate what the Joke will be for this Friday the 1st! Tomorrow it will be announced what the latest yearly Scandal will be by sheer educated divination. After all, it is easy to fathom cheap minds, where for instance, inclusive of the OrthoChess lot, Seirawan does not know Rook-Knight and Bishop-Knight precede Capablanca, or Kasparov such ecologically ignorant apologist for rampant capitalism.

So not just matter of waiting til Friday the 1st how the sordid tradition again plays out.... Based on past performance of their own narrowmindedness, in advance what will the funny Chess Comeback Kids (reflexively of Anand's name) print actually this time of Fools hogwash?
