It's a GM in disguise. I don't actually know who -- any guesses?
I feel like he behaves/ carries himself like a European.
"I feel like he behaves/ carries himself like a European."Yes, I met him at Cannes.
Was he carrying a stick of Mentos? Then he's probably South African.
Why? Was he smoking and sipping and downing espressos off camera?
I mean he doesn’t have the American machismo thing going on. His walk at first is a little silly, plus his handshake at the end is effeminate by American standards. Also he moves the chess pieces more smoothly than most American players.
It's Polgar getting ready to leave the country. Truong will use a mini-can of Squirt.
