Today’s potpourri and other nonsense
MAGNUS CARLSEN:
A BAD LOSER, BAD DANCER, BUT A NICE GUY!
—————————————
From today’s game! Years ago, Korchnoi, after observing the young Carlsen for the first time, remarked that the youngster was an excellent psychologist. I often wondered what he meant…but here we can see Carlsen toying with 5-time world champion Vishy Anand. He is saying: ”You are boring me today! Wake me up when you have a threat…”

A PIC IS WORTH A 1,000 WORDS….
Click on photo to enlarge. Photo by Mikhail Sholudko. Sochi, today’s boring game from the spectator perspective. It appears that Magnus was not the only one who was bored. I have seen numerous photos of other chess events with spectators sleeping, but this is the first photo where there is a kid who is busy drawing! I love it!

THE WEIRDER SIDE OF CHESS!
I always like to see what kind of kinky stuff Jennifer Shahade is up to…she is so CREATIVE! Here she is with her brother Greg on some crossfit theme involving chess. If I was younger, I might have signed up!
