3. i figured as much
(11.05.10)
but aren't the Guinness people supposed to be there throughout all the game to make sure of this sort of thing?
4. Is there is a reason or a point

Just what was the purpose of Israels Chess Association and the Jewish Agency in putting on this shame. Is It just some perverse ethnic rivalry with Iran? What was the reason for a supposedly top notch chess player to play young school children who had just been taught the basic rules of chess. Hasn't Alik Gershon any pride at all or anything better to do.
5. So what. It was Iran, stupids.

I had suspicions about this record from the very beginning, but I thought I'm worrying too much. Now it turns out it was much worse than I imagined. The Israel chess association and the Jewish Agency have been proven as liars and cheaters. And now they're trying to cover up with more lies. I say, Guinness should nullify this record, as well as the previous Iranian record. They should also fire this amateur Brockbank and hire real professionals. If necessary, more than one inspector should be sent for monitoring "difficult" record-breakings like this one.

Cynic #2   (11.06.10)
and now it is chess! I'll give you many Guinness records if you are so bent on accumulating them: How about: 1-Creating the largest prison in the World (Gaza) 2-the largest number of detainees (more than 10,000 Palestinians) 3-the longest running occupation in the 21sy century. 4-The most "moral" army in the world
9. but they still hold the world record for pathetic

How about: 1-Creating the largest prison in the World (north korea) 2-the largest number of detainees –china more then 1.5 million 3-the longest running occupation in the 21sy century-turkey over the kurds. 4-The most "moral" army in the world- America in iraq-read wikileaks Shame Israel didn’t get any thing…
11. anything to win
m ,   jerusalem   (11.06.10)
in the original report i actually stated that this record of his is a phony because in the pictures that were documented of the tournament all you see are 10 year old children its like stealing candy from a baby. now it all makes sense
12. To #2 Hey petey, your so-called mother was a
jason white ,   afula,israel   (11.06.10)
cheater with your so-called father. But it was okay,she did not cheat with Jews. She cheated with arabs and their goats. Mostly the goats.
13. Chess Records
Brian ,   EP, PA   (11.06.10)
Give it a rest. First, this sort of "world record" is for the most part, useless. Second, the idea that a news gathering service would waste time "investigating" is twice as useless! Stop serving fluff and investigate the NEWS.
14. If they can steal others homes, they can steal anything!

It's what Israel does... TATA
15. Is your mind open?
Rebecca ,   Tel Aviv   (11.09.10)
I know it feels right and worthy of your passion to protect the innocent and weak, and it is fashionable to repeat these things saying that all israel is bad, but if you are really the liberal, open-minded person that you want to be, take a moment to see whether you have an open mind or you are just thinking what everybody else thinks. Even if all the people you know and trust think this way, and even think so for all the right reasons (of course, nobody wants innocent people to be hurt, and everyone wants to respect human dignity and rights!), are you thinking and learning for yourself what is right? Maybe you will find that there is no easy answer, no simple one-line understanding of the real, complex, impossible world we live in. Please try to see that these are real people, each individual like you doing the best they can, not demons. You may look around and think others have closed minds, but are you sure you're not the closed-minded one?
16. Are your eyes open?
Edithann ,   USA   (11.09.10)
Are we to believe what we're told or what we've seen now for over 60+ years of Israeli/Jewish behavior? TATA
