Have you been Ir K ed?

All Things Chess

I heard a comic on the radio with a bit about names. He mentioned how Jennifer Lopez is now known as J Lo. Sure just drop the “pez”. He then applied it to other actors, such as Anthony Hopkins should be referred to as A. Ho.

I thought what about applying this to chess players? Maurice Ashley could become Mo Ash. Dimitry Gurevich could become Di Gu [pronounced Die Guy]. Anthony Karpov could become A Kar. Jennifer Shehade could become J Had, well that wouldn’t reflect properly on iffer [any Jennifer can be a Jen or an Iffer, and as she does analysis
(which is just what if) she is an iffer twice over]. Finally Irena Krush could be Ir K. So when you lose to her you could later be Ir K ed in more than one way. :slight_smile:

PS: Any other ideas for other chess players?

Larry,
You could be a LayHen.
We already have a Bacon in the forum.

Fischer could be Bo Fish. Have a feeling he wouldn’t have gone for it… Nakamura would of course be Hik-Nak. ( I hope he doesn’t know where I live)
Anish Giri would be An-Gir, and I’m sure he’d be mad at this?

Now you’re just blatantly egging him on. :open_mouth:

I once played a certain Morris Forest. He won. :smiley:
