This will be the first time and the last time you see me fart, Ja!?
Painfull to see Kortsnoi lose so easily in his favorite line!!!
Matter of fact, I don’t see any “rising stars” in this event, except perhaps Caruana. Fresh teenage GMs like Wesley So, Parimajan Negi, and other top players at the recent World Juniors should be the ones playing for the so-called “rising stars” team.
Wang is an insanely strong player, while Cheparinov has been a GM for many years and smells all over of Topalov. So who is fooling who? The organizers, us? Or the “rising stars” fooling the organizers?
wouldn’t be surprised to see wang yue in the top 5 very soon …
” rising stars ” … they should have invited Maxime vachier lagrave …
but it’s like the event was organised for Caruana to be seen … ???

Life is a joke, so is the title of this tournament! I completely agree with the cowardly anonymous.
Okay, that picture is just hilarious. I mean no offense to the great chessplayer Korchnoi but he looks like he just got dug out of a fossil bed dating to the triassic period. He needs some botox or perhaps some safety pins to keep his face from falling off.

For the record Kortchnoi looked like this 60 years ago. It must suck to be him…
