Delicious piece of Kamsky cake.
Gata needs to go back to his previous profession and take up poker or something.
It is painful to watch him play.
Indeed. I respect him a lot, but at that point we should be really grateful that he will not be the next challenger to Anand.
a guy has a bad tournament and the vultures come out. remember ivanchuck just had a bad one then shirov also. so lets not call him washed up just yet.
Granted, with one correction – when was the last time Gata had a GOOD tournament?
Kamsky is out of 2700+ on liverating.
This kind of play attracks flies rather than vulture.
