ELISTA, Russia -- The future of the world chess championship was in
question Friday when a player did not show up for the fifth game and threatened
to withdraw from the match after he was accused of cheating and locked out of
his private bathroom.
Vladimir Kramnik, a Russian, was accused by the manager for his opponent,
Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria, of taking too many bathroom breaks -- an apparent
suggestion that he was secretly using a technical device or a computer program
to help him with his moves.
Full story here.
King, Queen, Castle, Throne... makes sense to me.
They should make the loser clean out the bathrooms.
