I got Anand's autograph!

At the London Chess Classic! Oh yeah! Anand glared at me while giving it but still! I also have Giri, Sopiko Guramishvili (who was making out with Giri between giving me the autograph and also managed to steal my pen), Nigel Short, Malcolm Pein, Lawrence Trent, Daniel King, Chris Ward, Sabrina Chevannes and David Howell. I and some friends were having a simul against Sabrina Chevannes but she didn't want to have to stand up for it, so she let us into the VIP section which had a few chairs, which is how I got Anand's autograph!

I also sat in the same seat that Caruana had sat in the day before, on Thursday, and used one of those expensive boards which project your moves onto the screen. It was awesome!!!

Nope, not selling Anand's autograph!

Oh. My. Gawd.

Now I can tell ALL my friends I met the guy who sat in the chair Caruana sat in.  It's like I'm a chess celebrity

It sounds like you had a great time.

Congratulations! Now what's your plan?

No pics ? 

Sopiko Guramishvili (who was making out with Giri ... am I reading this right??

Kudos to the OP
