Carlsen is a big baby

Carlsen is a big fat baby. What a poor sport and poor example for young players.

I was rooting for him to defend his title but not any more. Someone with a lot more class should represent chess. 

From what they are saying it does sound like there will be a penalty (fine?) for skipping the press conference. It's in the contract.

He didn't skip it. The broadcasters reported that he sat there while Karjakin was being interviewed.

He waited for 2 minutes while Sergey did his interview for Russian TV just like every other game. Then he left. He's a big baby and now I hope he gets creamed. I lost all respect for him. I have no patience for sore losers. I was raised to be gracious in winning and losing. His father needs to get in his face like mine would have.

I sure hope they fine him.  There's been no decision yet a that I can find.
