I am really happy to see her tie for first though. What a sick tactician she is. 😀

Sick? I hope you meant slick.

After his behaviour in the Kramnik match I will hate Topov until the day I die, but Jesus he plays exciting chess!

Sick is American slang for cool, awesome, great, etc. I guess it's only popular in Cleveland though, because Tony and I are the only people that ever use it. 😀

in finnish it's a common expression also, as in 'insanely good tactician', but you'd use the word for 'sick'. 🙂 (you couldn't use the finnish counterpart of 'insane' as it doesn't have the same double meaning)
