He needs personality.

Boris Gelfand in the coming months is probably going to get lots more press coverage than he would desire. Even for a determined competitor like himself, this will be a challenge. The limelight can be very tough.
So I would say to the author of the article:
Be careful what you wish for, and what you wish for others.

Gelfand did very well, but the WC match is just not going to get the same levels of interest and coverage that Carlsen, Kramnik, Topalov or Aronian would get. Gelfand isn’t really in the same league as Anand.
He needs a more natural looking whig.
Hey Rocky…where’s Bullwinkle?
This picture of Gelfand makes him look like an idiot. If he gets coverage like this I know why he is not getting more favourable coverage.
“This picture of Gelfand makes him look like an idiot. If he gets coverage like this I know why he is not getting more favourable coverage.” I agree, lol!
.Such an unfortunate picture…..though I’m pretty sure I’d have the guts to make it myself. Hola! Boris!
