Trash Talking is common in all sports, except Chess. Yes, it's a sport :-). Trash talking is simply not possible in Chess, as players are not allowed to talk. They have to figure out subtler ways to intimidate their opponent.
Of course, trash talking can happen once the games are over. Seems like Twitter is where this kind of action is. In the following tweets, read the responses to the tweets too.
Even if you do not know much about Chess, you may have heard that the Norwegian prodigy, Magnus Carlsen is the number 1 player and also the current world Champion. He will defend his title against a challenger, whoever will be the winner of the Candidates tournament. Kramnik a previous Workd Champion, is one of the candidates. He is being helped by Anish Giri, another Chess prodigy. Anish is known to make tweets like these.
Naturally, this was going to get a reaction. As the news came that Anish will help Kramnik, the back and forth started.
But seems like Magnus is not giving up commenting on Kramnik. There was a routine tweet ...
Magnus for some reason responded
And the trash talk began immediately.
That's the state for now, but I don't think this is the end. I am enjoying it :-)
