Krammy and Schleppo - taking a cue from the US Republican party.

For those of you not privileged to live in the big fat dumb USA, you may not know that one of our two major parties now has a Standard Operating Procedure for when they lose an election -- accuse the other guys of cheating!

It's not very original but oh, it's a hot trend here in the land of We the People. It's hard not to notice that everyone's favorite pair of Russian malcontents have taken on this strategy as their new reason for, well, losing lots of games online to younger, faster, and better blitz players.

This was probably to be expected - after all, Russia was King Bee in chess for like ever, and now they very much ain't. New up-and-comers from India, China, and all sorts of other countries who weren't once part of the Soviet are producing some very rising stars. Meanwhile, the Cranksters back home in Putin's Paradise are having a hard time aging out...so guess what, you are all cheaters!

Time- actually well past time, that FIDE steps in and banishes Kramnik; for actions damaging to chess.
