| Alphastar: <HannibalSchlecter> if you dont like those sounds, complain about it to whoever is in charge. I'm sure if the guy farting repeats his behaviour, something will be done about it. Regarding the other case, I doubt the 90 year old guy makes those sounds on purpose - I know a guy from a chess club with similar problems. I don't know the particulars as to why cell phones were banned from chess, but I can imagine that if there is no specific penalty for a cell phone going off, the next thing you can do is call someone while you're playing a chess game. Which makes receiving outside help that much easier. You can't do that with farting as far as I know. |

| HannibalSchlecter: <Alphastar> No he doesn't do it on purpose, and for that reason the surrounding players politely try and block it out. To strengthen his concentration, Botvinnik had his trainer blow smoke in his face and play loud music. I suppose I'm getting similar benefits sitting next to cappuccino man. |

| TheSlid: OMG it's ages since I was last on this site, I hope the quality of debate on other boards is a bit higher. This guy want to ban farting at the chess table and turn it into a concession event. JHFC. |

| HannibalSchlecter: The topic makes some uncomfortable, which is why it doesn't get brought up at the chess meetings, hence the problem lingers. I'm a little suspicious of this guy who has a problem with the farting ban. I've never met someone who was pro-fart before but here we have one. Admit it fella, you would have something to lose if they ever imposed a penalty for it. |

| whiskeyrebel: The menace of flatulence in the chess clubs and tournament halls of the world has for far too long gone unaddressed. I for one hold that if you can't control yourself you should switch to correspondence competition where you can let your butt trumpet blow at will. There should be a zero tolerance rule for farting, excessive pattern sniffling (and snot swallowing) and audible food mastication. I've had games ruined over the years by all three practices. It's time for either a crack down or bringing back smoking and drinking at the board to allow us to combat these peoples rudeness. |

| Woody Wood Pusher: <The menace of flatulence in the chess clubs> I cannot think of a more appropriate player page than <Short's> for this discussion to come up. He made a name for himself with foolish antics off the board...and this is the result! LOL |

| unsound: Nigel's persistence today against Conquest got him right back into contention, since almost everyone else on the top boards drew. Black against Adams tomorrow looks like a tough assignment though. |

| unsound: OK actually it wasn't tough. |

| blacksburg: <Regarding the other case, I doubt the 90 year old guy makes those sounds on purpose - I know a guy from a chess club with similar problems.> well, i doubt that anyone has their cell phone go off in a match on purpose, either. <It's time for either a crack down or bringing back smoking and drinking at the board to allow us to combat these peoples rudeness.> yyeeeesssss!!!!!! |
