After today’s match between Caruana and Duda, Danny Rench mentioned that top players often discuss their games after they end… so long as they don’t dislike each other. That got me wondering: which top grandmasters are known to dislike each other and why?

Is that true? is it because he managed to wife up a baddie and the others didn't?

     Viktor "The Terrible" Korchnoi and any player who sat across the board from him.

Played in a simul against this great GM many moons ago, found him to be a friendly person, when I asked him for his autograph ✍️ he gave it with a smile on his face !

I don't think Hikaru Nakamura and Eric Hansen like each other! I'm not sure if they've played OTB since their bust-up though...

Hikaru and Eric Hansen. Something to do with twitch copy right strike on Eric.  I don't watch Hikaru so I don't know what he says about Eric to his viewers but Eric calls Hikaru, "the big Hickey" (that's how it's pronounced I think).

I hate watch Eric, lol.  I don't know why but I do.  Guy can't beat any credible GMs but then have readymate excuses ready.  The classics are, "my spotify is stuck so this crappy song made me lose!" and "ran out of time, if I had more time I would still be in this game" (umm yea when I play against good players who are better than me, I run out of time too!  I wonder why).

i dont like eric either, i would absolute obliterate him irl if i saw him he just has a punchable face

Guy hates the weebs too and has a hard-on for people from Germany.  Guy calls them, "resourceful and efficient." Something to do with Aryan blood thing but the irony is guy is half native (not even pure Aryan, lol).  I don't think people who are for 100% Aryan blood would accept him.

Lol, says the guy who posted this too.  Ironic.  Isn't it?  https://www.chess.com/forum/view/community/banned-2-times-3rd-account
