I'm gonna side with Ramirez on this one. Have ya seen Shahade? Um, no thanks.
ОтветитьThis shit is crazy, this shit needs to reported to THE POLICE right the fuck away. Not 10 years later and a bunch of chess drama channels using it for content.
Ответить"First played in gotcha vs bitch." cracked me up good.
ОтветитьI am tiered playing cheaters on Lichess. I am fed up with Lichess for NOT doing what it takes to STOP cheaters.
After playing chess for over 20 years in real chess clubs with USCF rating of 1800, I can tell a cheat, a prog, a scumb.
You can look the other way, make money as GM, and disgrace the very principles of respect and honor in the game of chess.
What he did is also unacceptable and condemned in Costa Rica. I understand the legal aspect of the difference in age of conscent, which is just 1 year less than in most US states, but that doesn't make much of a difference or mean that Costarican culture is more permisive of abusive behavior. I like GM Ben but he sounded like he was somehow implying that Ramirez being Costarican could've had something to do.
ОтветитьMaybe he is guy,
ОтветитьBe careful. Be careful. This Alejandro guy has been convicted minus an appearance in court represented by an attorney. What some of what the two of you said was a bit over the top and inappropriate. Is this matter going to court? I hope so. In the meantime, however, if it is going to court and if it is not going to court, some of you need to better temper what you are saying about this man and those who claim they have been grossly, inappropriately touched.
ОтветитьNever heard Karen so fired up. The volume of her voice was even higher than normal
Ответитьgood game ben
ОтветитьAlejandro was a fine commentator together with Yasser and Christian. It's sad his libido got the better of him.
ОтветитьThis "explaining" of his conduct as being brought up in Costa Rica was a bit insulting to be honest. Specially considering how much gringos like to go to Latin America to practice sexual tourism.
Ответить"obviously jen shahade not underage"...ouch
ОтветитьThat lady is very well liked I'm surprised anyone would even consider doing anything like that to her. The consequences for that type of conduct are considerable.
ОтветитьI thought GMs knew better than to touch a poisoned pawn. Does he have any idea who he was dealing with?
ОтветитьIf he was wanted by all the girls there are two possibilities.
1. He thought he can have them all and got angry when he got rejected by some.
2. He had something with them and dumped them like a hot potato and they got angry and ganged up to ruin him.
He's risking prison time, isn't he?
ОтветитьSince it's RIP to Alejandro's chess career now you may make a great players of the past video about him
Ответитьxyz
ОтветитьThe rules of engagement 10+ yrs ago are very different.
"He likes women" oh really? Wow that's gross.
Innocent until proven guilty. Ow it's slander and there's grounds for a law suit
Being brought up in Costa Rica, or in any other country, for that matter, has nothing to do with anything. I'm a bit at a loss as to where that comment came from.
EDIT: After hearing Ben's explanation in the next video, the Costa Rica comment makes sense. But the unclear way Ben phrased it here, makes it very easy to misinterpret it.
U r really good after all!
ОтветитьSad.
ОтветитьI'm so pissed! I'm tired of women getting so much credit for 10 year old allegations. Jennifer Shahade is the Ultimate drama queen. If there was something legitimate there, she could have reported it 10 years ago. Any other allegations from her about what might have happened with other women is pure gossip. I'm not interested in anything else this devil has to say.
ОтветитьThank you for speaking up on this important topic!
ОтветитьPredators are everywhere, they're not isolated in a few professions. Predators look for a chance to come into contact with prey, so teaching chess to children is going to attract a predator who happens to excel at chess.
ОтветитьHe was a Jerk to Hans! You can see his psychopath ways and aggressive jerk.
Ответитьlmao all the sexual misconduct apologizers in the live chat. The chess community is absolute garbage.
Also, fuck Ben Finegold for making light of this situation. You are dead to me, boss!
"Flirts a lot, again no crime there"
No, but when someone (I mean men, duh) does it constantly, it raises a red flag. Why would anyone do that? One explanation I can think of is considering women objects you can all have. Else, why flirt with all of them. It also sounds kinda desperate, now that I think about it. I don't like it. Also rhymes well with Ben's comment "He likes women a lot ."
Meanwhile in the live chat: "Could the 2 incidents with Jennifer be "misunderstandings"?"
This is a good example of how while girls (as in opposed to adult women) are sexualized, women are infatilized. Like, what the fuck is that guy even saying? Think about that for a second, how could anybody mistake a (sexual) assault for...something else, something harmless. Twice (as Karen has pointed out). The only explanation as to why anyone would even think of such an explanation is the aforementioned reason: Women aren't being taken seriously. Nobody would search for such an explanation when it's, say, a robbery that has happened to somebody.
Sorry but "I believe in her" is a really bad argument. Right now, all we have is a "he says she says" kind of a situation, and I have no reason to believe Jen, ESPECIALLY since the claim is something happened 10 damn years ago.
Ответить"Alejandro told me after the game that he likes when his victims can't move"
Genuine LOL
I love the casual racism about Costa Ricans. Also, the admission that Ben knew for a fact that Alex liked underage girls. Did Ben report this to SLCC? If not then why not?
ОтветитьWhat’s the matter he’s from Costa Rica. Come on
ОтветитьCancel culture coming to Chess too?
ОтветитьI wish Jen would come out and say what happened to offer some clarity.
ОтветитьThat he was raised in Costa Rica doesn't have anything to do with being a sexual predator. Costa Ricans are aligned with the general way on how men should treat women, even after some slight cultural differences with the US.
Ответить"...because he is from Costa Rica"?? Let the justice do its job, but no need for racist stereotypes!
ОтветитьThanks Karen (and Ben) for putting a spotlight on this, and in general in the past for highlighting some of the issues women face in chess, it's always highly appreciated!
ОтветитьCultural differences. In Costa Rica, it is common for a 24 year old boy to have a 14 year old girlfriend. I've been there and seen it.
ОтветитьMaybe check to see if he went to Epstein’s Island.
ОтветитьBen's immortal game, was the game he beat Alejandro in 2017.
ОтветитьLuckily Ben doesn't work for "The View".
ОтветитьI always found Ramirez pretty smarmy from his videos. My view was always: geez, StLCC rotates GMs-in-residence and this guy's the best they can do?
But I would not have thought of anything like this. That said, I don't get a lot of pleasure from his potential fall, here.
why she comes up with this 10 years later?? i dont get it
ОтветитьChess tournaments are one of the few activities I can think of where both adults and children regularly compete against each other. I've worried about the vulnerablity of children and the opportunity it gives pedophiles. I realize the allegations against A Ramirez involve both adult and under-age females, and that some of it involves his activities as a coach.
Ответитьdamn it seems nigel is deleting facebook messages like crazy.
ОтветитьI wonder how much Rex is paying his side piece to be quiet
ОтветитьJust mind your own business and get on with your lives.
ОтветитьHis dismissive attitude towards Maurice Ashley always annoyed me...
ОтветитьHow ignorant to blame on how he might have been brought up in Costa Rica??? Things may be different there?? I suggest you do your homework before displaying massive ignorance about how things are in other countries...
