and this is not the first time. the discrimination & hate against non-human players is just unbelievable. have i already told you how tough it is being an undead bunny on chess.com?
Chess & Sportsmanship

and the famous cheparinov stops short of shaking hands incident (pun intended)
i mean if he was afraid of an infection, he should have worn gloves. he should take lessons from our graceful ivanchuk below who brings joy to all he meets.

i almost forgot the carlsen-anand event, where anand's QGD put carlsen to sleep. move 3 did the damage but move 4 tipped it right over. who is to blame? i wouldn't know. but i'm sure people complained.

even carlsen does the touch feely thing
look at that cringe face he makes - hulk would pee in his pants.

i believe nimzowitsch called saemisch an idiot, right after this game

post #4 :-)

weren't there more sportsmanship or unsportsmanlike things in other stuff.......say tennis (Serena yelling at a linesperson)
Or soccer (Singapore vs Burma hahaha love the fighting, punching hahaha)

yes but chess, as our forum claims, is the gentleman's game, or to appease the minority, the sportsman's sport ;-)

whether or not chess is a sport, the forums are filled with complaints about lack of sportsmanship in chess. so we shall examine sportsmanship at the highest levels.
this incident probably inspired the following chess.com trophy
