lol that's an interesting way of getting back at them. Idk, he's just so obnoxious so it's kinda hard to be so obnoxious back. Anyways, I probably shouldn't be talking behind their back, it's not a big deal.... but it's still annoying

When I played in the Canadian Open, I found this a bit distracting:
========== ========= ========== ========== =========
I've told this story before, but we have a new crop of munchkins on the forum, and I expect that most of them haven't heard it yet.
The scene: the Canadian Open Chess Championship, Montreal, 1974. The field included everyone from GMs to patzers. I was one of the patzers, rated at the time around 1700. GM Lyubujevic eventually won the event, but a lot of muddy water went under the bridge before that happened.
In one of the middle rounds of the event, I happened to be looking at a neighboring board when one of the players blundered his Queen away. He resigned immediately, spoke a few civil words to his opponent, then headed for the exit. His opponent stayed in the playing hall for a few minutes, looking at the games on the upper boards, then he too headed for the door.
As he drew near the exit, his former opponent leaped out from behind a potted plant, kicked him in the balls, then ran out of the playing hall.
The Police were summoned, and they spent a few minutes talking to the injured player and to the Tournament Director. Then they retired to an inconspicuous spot at the side of the playing hall, and settled down to wait.
Sure enough, the offending player showed up for his next round pairing, was immediately arrested and dragged away by the Police.
The moral of the story... errr... I'm not sure. Don't kick people in the balls at a chess tournament in Canada?
