I remember reading about this occurrence somewhere else. But I don’t know where it was. I did find this video today.
It was reported in a number of places, including Susan Polgar’s blog and chessbase.com. Also here: westernchess.blogspot.com/2008/0 … crime.html
Hey, this ties in with the sore-losing and revenge thread I’ve been in on. Short handled it the perfect way (not initially, he was going to refuse to play). Short beat the pants off the guy in retaliation.
Such baby stuff from grandmasters. The late Bobby Fischer never resorted to this. And he really disliked some of those Soviet players!.
