Seriously, last night. FIDE President shows up randomly at Cardiff Chess Club.

The guy he's playing skittles with here is Alex Bullen, who beat him... confirming everyone's suspicion that he's not a great player.

What are they ratings roughly?

Oh I see .

Well not a good player? An expert level of play roughly, that's pretty good in my opinion (considering he's a businessman, not a chess player)

Beat guess of Kirsan’s strength is around 15-1600.

That’s based on a blitz tournament I played in with him.

Did he bring any aliens with him?

Well, I was wondering about the guys who came with him...

I'm surprised that Kirsan didn't try to buy the win.

I'd accept if he's offering free money for throwing pointless blitz games!

ArgoNavis

He isn't even rated...
