Chess on the news

The story about Magnus and Hans actually on the evening news here in the UK. First time chess has been on the tv for years in this country. xxx

Though Nigel has regularly been in the shorts.

Of course, it's only there as a Silly Squabble From The Chess World (like with Karpov's yogurt).

The other day, out of the blue, my wife, who is pretty much oblivious to anything chess related, asked me: what is it exactly that's going on with this chess cheating? Anal beads? Seriously?

The Guardian published a story with a quote from Danny Rensch actually effing and blinding. I haven't seen a similar quote in a newspaper of that caliber before, even from football hooligans.

Nice :)

There were a few days when the TV comedians talked about this. One of them referred to "knight to king's seven" instead of "knight to e2".
