ILYUMZHINOV PLAYING BLITZ…
…APPARENTLY KADAFFI WAS UNAVAILABLE THIS WEEKEND (!)
”Oh, that is too much, herr Spraggett! You zwill be punished for dat!”
Actually, that is FIDE president Ilyumzhinov playing a blitz game with GM Inarkiev before play was to begin in the university match between Russian State Social University and Moscow State University. Link The former won by a crushing 65.5 to 24.5 score. Each player had 1 hour for the whole game. You might want to see a bunch of photos here
THE EVIL EYE!
This is my FAVOURITE photo! From the university match…I love the look she is giving her opponent, who seems to have a massive headache! Almost as if it were about to explode….
