You're out of line. 

They can't handle the truth.

There is a difference between being a bad boy (Floyd Mayweather) and being a guy with socialization issues (Vishy Anand). tongue.png

I'm very happy that this thread is still going. The Chess world needs a bad boy if we're ever gonna compete in popularity with Checkers.

Conor McGregor should forget about boxing Mayweather and instead he should focus on chess. That is where the big money is!

A big blow to the Chess world: The bad boy of chess will not be participating in the 2018 candidates tournament. 

I'm surprised that they didn't give the wild card to the 6th greatest player to ever live, instead they gave it to the 17th best player to ever live. Weird standards at FIDE. The Chess world demands the great Anand!

I think that Vishy is the gentleman of chess. Not a bad boy of chess.

Anand: "Sure, only difference is that 20 years ago you were kicking my butt and now I am kicking yours."

Kasparov actually finished above Vishy in the STL Rapid & Blitz.

I'm sorry you feel offended.. But, it's the truth.
