Of course they have good reasons because even an unknown Pinoy like Ian Udani is currently dominating the local Klang Valley chess scene. When are we going to offer some stiff resistance?

It's just that it's the usual word he's been using to mean chessplayers. Look at this other article http://www.sunstar.com.ph/static/dav/2008/08/12/sports/um.woodpusher.shines.html where he called every participant a woodpusher “Woodpusher” might have been a derogatory word, but I don’t think the Pinoy newspaper journalist have any ill intent here.

"woodpusher" is basically another word for 'patzer'. Is it even necessary to insult a person through the media? Journalists like him are an embarrassment to the media and create an image of arrogance for their country and deserve to be dragged into the streets and shot, as people like him cause riots and name-calling to happen.

That is what I call an insult. Name calling is not limited to Malaysians, I am afraid. Woodpusher: A chess player of limited skill.
