in this clip the closet grandmaster says the word "blog" 7 times in about 3 mins, thats more than once every 30 secs.
he also claims and is proud to say his bog is possibly the worlds most famous australian chess blog , thats possibly just a random claim to fame!!!
he blames his bad preformance on his bog.
the worst thing is that even though the people of the doeberl cup tryed to accommodate his wishes and the whole weekend was enjoyed by all ,he still had to find somthing to complain about .

I have never actually met him, but from what I am told he is a cool Phillipino Australian fellow from Sydney. That's why about 50% of his blog contains Phillippine Chess informaton and the other half Australian. I think it makes for a good mixture as there probably isn't enough Australian content to fill a whole blog by itself, (ie. not enough tournaments and Grandmaster action - especially with the loss of GM Antic).

I think its great that some people are willing to put so much of their time and effort into Australian chess even without financial reward. There aren't many like CGM.

The YouTube links work fine, all you need to do now is cut and paste the YouTube link. The window generates automatically now

Its very sad to see the Closet Grandmaster using foul language and the C word on his blog. As such, I wish to ask the OzChess membership whether they think I should remove the link to his blog on the OzChess homepage?

My primary consideration here is minors being exposed to that kind of language by accessing TCG's website from this one.

Any thoughts on the subject are welcome.

Let the market decide .
......and as we are part of the market , let us decide individually.... maybe a collective poll is called for ; if you as the founding father, wish to see a democratic, rather than autocratic decision being made .

I personally don't think it's that much of a problem. There's worse the individuals concerned can find on the internet then the occasional 'naughty' word on a chess blog.
