He has Rybka installed in his earring!
Call the TD!
Isn’t he a bit too manly for earrings?
why isnt GM Peter Svidler not in the linares-morelia tournament?

what a joke. he’s a super gm playing in this event. he came for a quick pay day, not to play real chess.
We should probably assume he got a specific invite and didn’t just decide to bottom-feed on these low-rated GM’s, which would indeed be despicable. Strangely, though, he only won by half a point.
