Grandmaster

Vishy as he is called,is one of my favourite sports icon . I like the icon obviously for his performance. Other reason ofcourse for his style of play. He is one of the fastest players in chess. Recently I saw his interview in NDTV. I was amazed when he said he could listen to harmony when he played the chess and when the pieces when the pieces were in place. Amazing how gr8 player are passionate . I also saw him talk on chess just by alphabets like E4, E5.....Probably this come by practice.
Officially hez the world champion. Kudos Vishy. Another important thing abt him he is one of 3 players who has crossed an ELO rating of 2800 which is more than amaznig.

Recently he seems to have started an academy in association with NIIT . All the best in your new venture. Hope you acheiver greater heights and bring laurels to India.

Hairy Controversy

A lot has been about hair and his meddling with the Pak's scores in the recentmost concluded match between Eng and Pak. This is the first match which was forfeited in the history of Cricket. mmmm...This is a new record in its own way though not for correct reasons.
The issue was simple , Hair saw the ball's paint had been scrubbed off and "thought" the Paks had cleaned the shean and penalised them 5 runs. Inzy intially carried on the game and I didnt understand what transpired in the dressing room, he didnt walk into the field until both umpires came and asked them to play.After some discussions Paks agreed to continue but the panel decided to stop the play.

letz do a post mortem from all angles

Umpires:
We dont think it was a mistake and the rule says that if the ball is made out of shape, the batting side gets an extra 5 runs. We are correct in incorporating the laws

Umpires decisions are final and binding !!

Paks:
We dont cheat . 5 runs is not a problem but we have been disgraced . Hair is a racist and his attitude is wrong against the asians . We dont want to play.

Spectators :
Whoever is right or wrong my money is gone for the day ..

Media :
We got something to bite for a few more days. Hair is correct sometimes , Inzy is correct sometimes , both of them are wrong mostly .

Madhu:
ah something to blog about ...
