    Why do we love these players so much?

    December 31, 2016

    There are a number of players who love the game and whom the public loves, forgetting their faults. Tal was one of these.

    Two others for whom we have a great affection are shown in the following YouTube clip:

    It is during the prize-giving at the World Rapid and Blitz Championships in Doha, December 30, 2016 and Baadur Jobava and Vassily Ivanchuk are playing blitz checkers using chess pieces and a clock. Vassily is called to receive his prize and has to go running off.

    That’s why we love these guys!
