Jan-25-17 Tata Steel Masters (2017)
| |
| Monoceros: Maybe the grotesque Fischer had a good idea when he basically quit chess immediately after winning the world championship. It was more than a touch cowardly but at least he spared himself the kind of @#$% this cesspool of a forum flings at Carlsen every time he doesn't win. |
