Geeks with problems: Drunken chess grandmaster forced to forfeit

By Amy Bennett  Add a new comment

I don't remember this ever happening in high school chess club!

French grandmaster Vladislav Tkachiev showed up to his match at an Indian tournament so inebriated that he soon passed out and was declared the loser by default. Though reprimanded by the tournament organizers, he was allowed to participate in the rest of the competition.
