Taufik once again, confirmed his agreement with Peter Gade to block Chen Jin to the Olympics, at China open yesterday. In response to Taufic, Chinese players CJ, who's struggling for the qualification, said, there's little Taufik can do to block him. In fact, Taufik has little chance to meet him(CJ) because Taufik could be easily knocked out by any players. Most people thought Taufik will block CJ by defeating CJ. That's not right. Taufik doesn't have the capability to beat CJ. What he meant to block CJ, is to fix the match between Taufik and Peter Gade. Taufik will meet PG soon at China open. Will Taufik and PG fix their match to block CJ? I think this is very interesting to watch. In order to block CJ, I think, Taufik should send PG to the next round because of PG having the chance to stay in top 4 ranking. Taufik will soon drop out of top 10. Everybody knows Taufik hates Chinese. He's always try his 100% when facing Chinese players, he claimed he's always eager to beat Chinese, although Taufik holds terrible losing head to head records against all Chinese players, including CJ, BCL, LD... But Taufik is also a selfish person. Will he sacrifice himself to block CJ at all cost? That's the reason the match between Taufic and PG very interesting.
the hidden purpose of Taufik contract blocking CJ, is to request all non-chinese players to send him (Taufik) to the next round, so that he can take the top 4 ranking to block CJ. Once Taufik's in trouble in the match, as he's 18:19 in the 3rd game decider, he shouted "let me win, you have to let me win, to block China"... haha, that's the purpose and strategy of Taufik's blocking contract all about.
Isn't it a bit premature knowing that Taufik still has to face Simon while Peter Gade faces Du Pengyu in R2??? IF ONLY both of them winning in R2 then this proposition may have some relevance aside from whether your statement about Taufik's feeling is true or not.
it might be a little bit earlier, I have to write it down because it just came across my mind. I will forgot my thoughts if I don't write it down. Also if i don't create this new thread, someone else could create a similar one like this. Hopefully, we have the chance to see this anticipated match between Taufik and PG.

I give Simon 70-30 to win over Taufik. Simon needs the point the qualify for SS final. Going by yesterday form, PG may not beat DPY but I think PG always prove people who think he is old that he is in fact not so PG to win. So QF : PG vs SS. 51-49. Simon won't give up for the sake of helping PG. On another note, Taufik is not friendly with LD(that's already fact). But he is friendly with some other Chinese players. So no basis saying Taufik hates the chinese.
Well, Simon Santoso has put paid to this thread and shown us really that it was all hot air and a poor attempt at a conspiracy theory.
