Sitting behind an iMac. Why?
Has anybody else been following the feud ripping through the chess world?

Magnus Carlsen - the top player - lost in a tournament in St. Louis to a 19-year-old. He posted a meme later that insinuated the kid cheated. The kid admitted to cheating in online tournaments years ago. Chess.com then booted him because they analyzed his recent play and concluded he cheated quite often. The two wound up facing off in another tournament and Carlsen conceded the match after one move.

Now this …

The chess world got suspicious when Jose Aluve and Alex Cora showed up at this kid’s tournaments looking like refugees from Stomp.
 
There's a great side by side newspaper political cartoon to be done based on scanning chess player anuses for beads and dogs sniffing high school girl crotches for blood.
