B*b*ng to! Anyone can kick a ball pero for sure not anyone can win a chess match! Hahaha! Pasalamat ang hilaw na Pinoy na yan na may career pa siya dito at tinanggap siya kahit di kagalingan sa football yan sa UK!
E board game naman kasi talaga ang chess like games of the general. Varsity ako ng chess and parang book club nga lang siya. Pero Ito ang sport ko! Hahaha!
Read some of his tweets. Hindi mo alam kung proud ba talagang maging pinoy pero hindi pa rin niya naadopt culture ng mga Filipino at feeling niya katawa tawa ito.
Just because chess is an activity that is not physically exhausting doesn't mean it is not a sport. Its players have high mental abilities that allow them to think of strategies/tactics that should be four or five steps ahead of their competitors. Kakaloka ka kuya.
Just to show how pea size his brain is... Chess players have high mental abilities, particularly in Mathematics. Strategy & tactics needed sa chess, and it seems wala sya nun. Dumb remark lang...
Yes, it is a sport. Chess might not be as physical a sport as football is, but it is still a sport. Intentional or not, but I find his tweet as something of a slight to Wesley So given that he (So) was the one in tonight's "chess news." I find it ridiculous that such comment comes from a football player who's team is not even included in the top 100 of the FIFA's world ranking list. Respeto na lang, Wesley So is a world class chess player, ranked 15 in the world at that.
I like the Azkals and appreciate all the efforts they are doing to promote football in the country. But come on, giving idiot remarks like this pushes me to root against them. Seriously.
Also, I am almost certain chess folks have bigger brains than most football players, Simon Greatwich of course included--with his brain size perhaps bordering in the smallest to no brain at all.
this idiot brained azkal has never heard of a grandmaster so let me educate him a little: Tarrash Rubenstein Mieses and one of Phils grandmaster great Eugenio Torre these are the men you probably never heard of
a pure filipino, Wesley So is about to become a US citizen because of lack of local support, samantala ang football at basketball pinuputakte ng fil-foreigners di naman maka-ubra sa international competition. Wesley is no. 15 in the world, pang-ilan nga Azkals? 150?
More than anything, whatever their rankings are, someone just have to learn what respecting someone else's passion is. For a moron to think that someone is not entitled to be called something simply because he doesn't do the same thing he is doing is really pathetic. I guess somebody could use some education on Sports, after all, he calls himself an athlete, right?
Saang lupalop ng mundo ba galing to at hindi alam ganitong fact? Grade school o elementary school na mag-aaral nga alam itong general knowledge na to eh... kkloka..
Mas madaming energy na uubos s chess kaka isip kesa sumipa ng bola... mas mahirap mag isip kesa tumakbo takbo no? Try nya kaya maglaro ng chess ewan kung tatagal siya ng 5 mins.
Dear Mr. Greatwich...CHESS is a MENTAL sport and it so very UNFORTUNATE that you are NOT VERY MUCH QUALIFIED and has NO CHANCE to enter into such kind of sport!
Simon, matalino amg kuya mong si Chris. Bakit di ka nagmana dun? As an athlete you have to respect other sports. Kaya nga nagalit ang mga tao kay Nico Salva when he said football is boring.
puro yabang naman tong mga azkals na ito..walang alam kundi puro dada.sana turuan din kayo sa team nyo kung paano rumespeto sa ibang athlete..dapat yong mga may bad manners sinisibak sa team..imbes na post kayo magpractice kayo para naman tumaas rank nyo hindi yong puro kayo yabang..
Let me repeat what former president ramos said..."Manalo muna kasi kayo hindi puro yabang!" At least ang chess players natin, may napupuntahan. Wesley so one of the youngest chess grandmasters. Kayo, manalo man lang sa finals di magawa, nangangarap pa sa world cup?
Simon, bring honor to the country by helping the Azkals to at least number 100 in FIFA before you bash chess otherwise, fix yourself a nice cup of STUF. Tagal na ng Azkals pero di pa rin umaalis sa Baranggay levels.
alam ko may mag sasabi papansin ako pero may point kaya cya... ang standard nya sa sport e physical and mental game... and chess mental but less physical... tama din pag compare nya sa chess with snake n ladder, do you think hindi nya alam ang tungkol sa general knowledge na yan? alam nya, and he's challenging it by using logic...at ang nagsasabing b sya, mas b kasi hindi liberal ang pag iisip! comment po tayo sa subject, or yung illogical na mga hirit, hindi personality attack.. nakaka lorkey...
Whatever you say, Simon Greatwich! I believe most comments here are still directed to that idiotic remark. Bonus na lang ng mga commenters ang attack on his pea-sized brain. :)
His answer shows the kind of personality and background he has. Chess is seen as one if the foremost mental sports in the world, with grandmasters earning great respect. Before he gave out such an opinion that belittles such a sport with amazing intellectual history, he should have looked up why it is a sport instead of ranting. He just insulted Eugenio Torre, who gave pride and made history for the Philippines in 1974 when he became the first Asian grandmaster.This British reject came to Pinas not because he wants to give pride but because he cant hack it in England. Now with their almost blind fandom his careless comments can influence his fandom's thinking about Chess too.Chess is recognized as a sport by the International Olympic Committee since 1999 and in this planet we luve in, it cannot get a higher recognition than that.Chess has been around since the 6th century in its present form while association football only began in 1863 in England. If only we had support for our awesome chess talents in Pinas than that which is wasted on these non FIFA ranked Azkals, we would have grandmasters left and right. The idiot is being attacked for his personality and opinion because it is just absolutely disrespectful, uninformed and wrong.
No totally not right to compare snake ladder with Chess. Snake Ladder larong bata yan kahit toddler kaya yatang laruin yan just roll the dice. Sa Chess if you don't have the inate talent kailangan mo pang mag training din. If he knows how to play Chess he would never say that. Unless di talaga kaya ng utak nya na kahit mechanics ng game di nya maintindihan.
Wow, compare chess to snakes and ladders? Sa chess walang dice! its all UTAK!!! You can compare snakes and ladders to any game in casinos, but definitely not to chess! My gosh! Sobrang layo ng comparison!
Snake and ladder sa chess tama lng, tnga kb? Kmpra kya ntin yang tumbang priso sa football anu kya reaksyon nyan Isip mna bgo magcomment nkkaskit kyo nkkapuno
Itong mga Azkal kung tawagin sa atin football super star puro mukha lang ang kaya nito, Maraming magagaling sa football but di kinuha kasi panget or di ka gwapuhan, Sila mga basura sa kung saan sila galing , oh ano ngayon kung sa pool ng chealsea eh di naman na draft ng international team di nga nakalaro ng liga na malalaki sa UK, bago ka magpa gwapo basa basa at isip isip naman b!
sus kung makacomment pati buong football team at football in general isinama... basura? makapagsalita ka! i bet you don't even know how to play both so you have no clue how hard playing football or chess are. STFU
haha agree ako sau ati.. who is this sh*thead anyway?? he is nothing compared to FC Bayern's David Alaba. jusko ang layo ng narating nung batang un, nabansagan pa nga kung of europe kc nanalo sa champions league 2013 and footballer of the year sa austria. tsk so sad di nla nkuha si alaba for azkals.. haha fezlak lng din nmn ata basehan pra mka pasok sa team eh.. tsk tsk
Ang harsh mo naman. Hindi sa looks tumitingin ang coach nila. In their defense, mas pinipili ng ibang Azkals maglaro sa local league kesa sa leagues abroad na mas malaki ang sweldo. Sacrifice nila yon para sa bayan. At maraming Azkals ang nasa big leagues in Europe. Wag kang comment ng comment ng mali!
tomooohh ka 4:45! hahaha yun iba jan comment lng ng comment wla nmn alam. azkals lng kc ung kilala. palibhasa feelegera lang ang peg na may alam sa football. no offence ateng ha pero sino ba ang azkal mem na tinutukoy mo na naglalaro sa big league in EU? tsk baka bench warmer lang. or baka sa 2nd class league hahaha. i pity u gurla.
You must be joking right?? Pleaseeee... tell me you're joking. Ang reason lang kung bakit nandiyan yang mga half breed na iyan ay dahil hindi sila makapasok sa tutuong liga ng football. I am pretty sure why Nurses in the Phils go to abroad dahil mababa ang sahod doon.... NOT!!!!
Kung sa looks tumitingin ang coach nila, dapat hindi kasama si Simon sa team. Mukha syang bungo! FYI, dapat kasama si David Alaba sa Azkals, naunahan lang tayo ng Austria! He was capped by Austria at 17. Hindi na sya pwede magpalit ng team!
khit hindi physical game ang chess, recognized ito as sport because nasatisfy nya ang criteria na may element of competition and hindi nagrerely on any "luck" element.. hndi pwedeng sbihing isang sport din ang snakes & ladders because ginagamitan ito ng dice di ba, so may "luck" element....shunga lng, icompare daw ba ang mind game sa game of luck..san ang logic dun?
I guess nobody bothered to explain to him that chess is an exhibition/demonstration sport. Twitter is a great way for the public to determine who among these "celebs" and public personalities are idiots.
Chess is logic-based. It needs skill and experience, just like other sports. Snakes & Ladders is luck- and chance- based. No matter how many times you played it, you'll never gain skills because you can never control the pace of the game (unless you cheat). Although they are both board games, you can never put them in the same category.
Simon's comment is uncalled for and totally disrespectful. However, as a big football fan, bashing the football game and the Azkals are uncalled for as well, if not bordering to being ignorant. You obviously don't understand how big football is, in the same manner that Simon didn't understand that chess is a sport as well.
before ako magcomment,nag google muna ko,hahaha! is chess a sport?...well may nabasa ko na ang International Olympic Committee is considered Chess as a sport :)
hati parin kasi ang opinion about it,pero kung Olympic na ang nagrerecognize na sport sya so dun na tayo, ;)
Just goes to show na ang utak eh kakapiranggot din.
