2. The Gormally Knockout
the disingenious reporters dubbed it gormally gate.

Well someone who dances like this
With someone who dances like this
anyway aronian got his girl in the end.

Regarding Item #3 I still feel that the Canadian Chess Federation should have hauled that clown Kovalyov into court. Also he should be banned from ever visiting Canada ( awful fellow that lol ).
he should have gone for the regular guy look
What? No contributions from the community? Well I guess it's up to the bunny then.
5. Revenge of the Dorks
https://www.chess.com/news/view/breaking-dvorkovich-elected-fide-president
The biggest news of all, the alien abductee jock was ousted by dvorky.
Dvorky tries to relate to Kirsan fans with his impression of the famous 'because aliens' pose but ...
Who will play chess with the dictators now? Especially since the latter were deposed/disposed.
6. The Short Rejection
https://en.chessbase.com/post/short-cheparinov-handshake-game-ends-1-0
Long story short, Ivan Cheparinov basically says Ivan nothing to do with Short without so much as lifting his hand but Short refused to be short changed, went to the arbiter and short-circuited his win.
7. Borislav Ivanov's winning shoes
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borislav_Ivanov
Read all about it in the wiki link if you've been under a rock for the past few years.
Now this is the stud we want running fide. Fashion, girls, weed, driving license, money - no problem.
OK maybe some problems when borislav runs afoul of the law ...
Alright bunny 🐰
How about GM Simon "Ginger" Williams & WIM Fiona Steil-Antoni singing Aqua's Barbie Girl?

Thanks Bunny 🐰
😋🤗☺😇
Simon didn't sing though... . . ..........
WGM Sharevich's "33 cows"
Ok, I should have typed in a " warning" label like they do on prescription medications. ..... . ......
"turn the volume 📻 down least your ears 👂 bleed"
GM Gustafsson gets an Ice ❄ Bucket ........
There'll never be another smyslov
That sounded better than "33 cows"

That video should be dubbed 34 cows to include the singer ...
8. Korchnoi, the grouch
the secret to a duel is not just action but also talk.
and nobody embodies this principle better than viktor korchnoi, the burn king. here's a story.
but enough stories, watch the man in action!
to understand this, he had a bad experience with a cow once before
even the clock is not spared!
autographs will not be forgotten, but may be denied
here viktor just could not let go of leko.
edit:
he calls karpov a FISH!
the intro music by OMD (orchestral manoeuvres in the dark) on enola gay should provide an impending sense of doom & destruction that this thread is all about.
we won't be discussing material imbalances, pawn structures, or mating patterns (organic ones perhaps) but instead the more interesting going-ons off the board.
feel free to contribute.
