    I think Tkachiev is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Tkachiev is blurry, and that's extra scary to me. There's a drunk, out-of-focus chess player roaming the countryside. Look out, he's fuzzy, let's get out of here.

    That still makes it a historically impressive example of French defense.

    The 35-year-old Tkachiev is actually referred to as a "maverick"...

    When Tkachiev was unable to perform his duties, his younger, more attractive, maverick teammate took over and promptly decimated any chance Tkachiev had of winning the match. She then declared that she had not lost, but rather had quit, and claimed that discrimination and bias had forced her to abandon the match.

    Wrong. Bobby Fischer drank alcoholic 9/11 Kool-Aid for years and was just fine. Really.

    The 35-year-old Tkachiev is actually referred to as a "maverick" who prefers speedy "blitz chess" to the more traditional soozefest style of play...

    He's like the Brett Favre of chess. They even refer to him as The Rookslinger.

    He didn't even get to pull his signature move, "The Yeltsin." That is where he gropes the female judge and gets a little puke in her hair.

    I hope they never put chess in the Olympics; it would totally be dominated by the Turks.

    Speaking from experience; huffing an entire can of Dust-Off will not only hinder your chess playing, but it will also cause you to say some very very unforgivable things at Thanksgiving dinner.
