his response was a curt "no, I was thinking of what to eat tonight."

I was up at 5am to watch that. Embarrassing. Other great players (e.g. Kramnik) have lost tough matches with a lot more class.



Isn't it obvious to assume that of course he thought through the complications, but that there was just apparent escape?

I can understand being frustrated by that question. Reporters for a chess championship should be more understanding of what it's like to play a tough match.


Wait, so he wasn't being sarcastic? I wouldn't think someone at that level would be so insecure.


Look into any history of Bobby Fischer. He was batshit crazy.


While the response might have been unnecessary, the question certainly was as well.


I think he was just frustrated with himself and then he got frustrated with the laptop and then the question. I'd cut him some slack. I just thought it was a bit funny.
