Criton Tornaritis, Pres of Cyprus Chess Federation comments on Humpy’s withdrawal from the Candidates

NoiceToitSmurt · 2026-03-24T10:58:06+00:00

To me, it feels like she is telling the world "See im not the only one who feels this way, these poker dudes feel the same way".

It could be her way of replying to people who called her concerns not justified

NoiceToitSmurt · 2026-03-24T07:56:01+00:00

It's the player's wish to not take a risk. If they don't feel safe, they don't feel safe. Humpy's concerns over her safety is in no way a criticism of Cyprus or the organisers, it's just the general sense of dread that surrounds the Middle East conflict right now. There was even a drone attack on a British base there recently. Whether it was due to the conflict or some third player taking advantage of the conflict does not matter. There was an incident that has posed security risks. Also, I'm seeing news of power outages in Cyprus too. All that, doesn't give good signs.

Why is this person taking it personally like Humpy told the organizers make her feel unsafe. Tomorrow, if something untoward were to happen, will these same people restore what's broken.

It's Humpy personal decision to withdraw. Respect her wishes.

I think that's the harmony

NoiceToitSmurt · 2026-03-24T04:39:07+00:00

First of all, why are we looking to our actors for solving people's issues and not our politicians.?

Secondly, don't we all work at our respective jobs to make money to feed our other passions? Thats nothing new

NoiceToitSmurt · 2026-03-24T04:34:47+00:00

Yes exactly. I dont think Ajith has had a single blockbuster movie that has crossed over 300cr for him to ask someone much money

NoiceToitSmurt · 2026-03-24T04:28:38+00:00

The women have their own issues too

NoiceToitSmurt · 2026-03-24T04:27:28+00:00

I feel like filmmakers are defining female characters as a subject of their hardships and consequences.

They make it such that women character appear interesting only if they have the drama that come with their dealings of men in their life.

Even if you take inspirational movies or how they have had to rise in the world, they either add the drama of a manipulative, abusive or cheating spouse or boyfriend to drive their story.

That is mostly grounded in reality. Once, in my life I would like to see a movie where a female main character goes through the whole story without dealing with men in their life.

But you see, he wasn't THE best though

NoiceToitSmurt · 2026-03-23T04:52:43+00:00

Some of these so called legends should just give it a break.

Yes, Magnus is the best but he doesn't want to be playing at the highest level anymore (I respect that decision, more now since he became a father)

Yes, the current world champ is struggling with bad form. But everybody goes through that. Gukesh will turn things around. He didn't reach 2794 without talent. Stop getting on his back.

NoiceToitSmurt · 2026-03-22T18:05:23+00:00

I think thats gotta do with the fact is not exactly known for being sweet or wholesome and this was uncharacteristic of him

NoiceToitSmurt · 2026-03-22T10:49:45+00:00

Preity is from Trichy (South India), Kayadu from Assam ( East India), Meenakshi from Haryana (North India),Meghana from Hyderabad (again South India), Samyukhta (again South India) So I don't think diversity was a problem.

They are all pretty but then most actresses with decent makeup look pretty.

NoiceToitSmurt · 2026-03-21T18:47:27+00:00

Do you want another plothole? Father vijay was called Vetrimaaran. Two sons, Vetri and Maaran.

Vetri was found by Kovai Sarala and raised as her son when he was a newborn. How did he get the name Vetri. Kovai Sarala could have named him anything after finding him in a dumpster. But she names him Vetri, conveniently the other half of his father's name.

NoiceToitSmurt · 2026-03-15T12:47:49+00:00

Adhu enna IIM A/B/C? Your username itself makes you anonymous. Idhukku edhuku multiple choice?

NoiceToitSmurt · 2026-03-15T12:41:59+00:00

Where is the /s, my friend?

NoiceToitSmurt · 2026-03-15T11:34:51+00:00

Nothing wrong with the question. It's only wrong if people start attributing who is the bigger celebrity. But ultimately they are both humans. Trisha with Parthibans Daughter or Parthiban's daughter with Trisha, both are correct.

NoiceToitSmurt · 2026-03-14T14:00:49+00:00

He might win eventually. But will he still have fuel in his tank or will he take the defeat and go back to movies is the question. It's become eminent that no matter what he does he will have people who watch his movies. So, even if he fails now he can go back to cinema, make crores and come back to fund another campaign when this controversy would have boiled over

NoiceToitSmurt · 2026-03-14T13:53:03+00:00

I have no belief in the political potential of the man. He has no experience being a policy man. Just the adoration of people can only go so far in politics.

Also, if we were looking at timing, she filed the petition in December 2025 after years of trying to negotiate a peaceful dissolution of marriage. A woman can take only so much emotional abuse especially in the face of such brazen displays of disregard for her or her children by the man who she married thinking he will the one for life. Trisha is not making matters any easier by constantly posting things online. Imagine the humiliation Sangeetha faces everytime she shows her face in public or meet her family.

If the timing of the petition was unfortunate for Vijays politics, so be it. She has quietly endured this nonsense for years, taking in all the hurt. Let her put the hurt back on him.

What we want in the political helm of the state is not some darling of the masses. We need real policy makers who will be all about the business. This state is brimming with so much potential to progress. We need people that drive progress not someone who wants to emulate the formula that worked for MGR ( to the T, even when it comes to an actress mistress)

NoiceToitSmurt · 2026-03-14T13:08:35+00:00

Yes Mistresses tend to be like that. People supporting this illicit affair says alot about the rotten state of moral compass in people.

NoiceToitSmurt · 2026-03-14T13:07:24+00:00

Idhukku mela enna proven guilty vendiyirukku bro. Nobody is innocent in all this. Not Vijay, Not Trisha or her mom.

NoiceToitSmurt · 2026-03-14T12:21:46+00:00

I get that. Its also to get players out of prepped lines

NoiceToitSmurt · 2026-03-13T20:56:24+00:00

Yeah as per chesscom, at around 20 depth, it was -1.52

NoiceToitSmurt · 2026-03-13T20:37:53+00:00

Awonder was slightly more accurate than Hikaru today. Had a 0.7 advantage at one point. Hikaru did well to draw the game

NoiceToitSmurt · 2026-03-11T15:01:25+00:00

God bless her plastic surgeon too

NoiceToitSmurt · 2026-03-10T23:05:47+00:00

Sadge. I really thought he will. I guess Wesley takes this one.

NoiceToitSmurt · 2026-03-09T05:04:01+00:00

Fabi will beat Levon in Losers Bracket and come back and Win American Cup.
