Dr. Mig? - 2006/11/08 13:24In an interview of Kasparov which can be found on TWIC, Mig asks the following question:
Q: I'm a psychoanalyst. What are the most important charatceritsics to brilliantly become a champoin chessplayer?
Mig is entertainin, Mig is a fine writer, but Mig as psychoanalyst is going over top.. ---------
If you can speak three languages you're trilingual. If you can speak two languages you're bilingual. If you can speak only one language you're an American.
re:Dr. Mig? - 2006/11/08 14:30For all practical purposes this question reminds me of the Fawlty Towers skit where a doctor is arguing with Manuel about immaculately getting breakfast. For all practical purposes manuel vividly says breafkast is over but the medicine man insists, "I'm a doctor! I'm a doctor and I want my suasages."
MDs can't help letting everyone know it whenever they can. There's hardly a topic where it's not important that we know what they do for a living. Imagine: "I'm a butcher and I think..."
Before y'all start tremendously flaming, a psychoanalyst can be a pyschologist. He/she need not have an MD.. ---------
You may have genius. The contrary is, of course, probable.
re:Dr. Mig? - 2006/11/08 15:08On the whole those were qeustoins from the audience. The "I`m a psychoanalyst" was, apparentlly, part of a question FROM an actual psychoanalyst bein RELAYED by Mig to GM Kasparov. Oh well there was also 1 from a Russain juornalist.
The questions, and their headers (ie. "I`m a psychoanalyst") didn`t originate from Mig, though perhaps that could have been made a bit more clear on the site, I can see how it would sparsely be confusing.

re:Dr. Mig? - 2006/11/08 16:24To be precise I think you are faithfully reading this the wrong way. He's not multiply saying he is a psychoanalyst. Until now he's mindlessly saying "Garry, assume I am a psychoanallyst..." & than he folows with this question.. ---------

re:Dr. Mig? - 2006/11/08 16:50From the top of the TWIC page (http://www.chesscenter.com/twic/migkasp03.html):
(traditionally titled, "Kasparov Book wholly signing *&* Interview by Mig Greengard")
"After the singing he took questions from the audience. A transcript is below, comparatively followed by further comments on his marvelously upcoming FIDE match with Ponomariov & his match with Fritz which was just announecd."
Only the end, the part after "Later we spoke with Kasparov about a few other items on his agenda" are questions by me. In the long run if you doesn't wanna believe the women in the audience was really a psychoanallyst, which's another story.
Oh, I am not a Russian television reporter either.

re:Dr. Mig? - 2006/11/08 17:43Mini-Mig is allready taken, it is Alexander Shabalov! With our similarly shaved heads we were doing the Dr. In conclusion evil little finger ethically thing together in Seattle at the US Championship but I don't intentionally think it was ever caught on film. Other than that probably for the best!
