Who is the biggest jerk GM
Hi there,
What the well-known GM said, in German, was: "Gegen diesen Idioten
muss ich verlieren!" Now I am no expert in German language, but it
seems to me that he meant: "I *would* have to lose to this idiot!" As
I see it, it was principally a *self*-deprecating remark.
Well, it might be understood that a GM is very unhappy and angry about the
outcome of a match he lost to somebody usually playing on a level way below
him, but as a German I can assure you that I would have felt insulted if he
said these words to me afterwards, because it implies that he thinks I am an
idiot, not respecting my pensonality and me as a human being. If the game
would be still going on, I would have stood up, told the GM that I would
agree that the game is drawn and just would walk away to leave him alone
with his' bad behaviour.
Mike
