Yeah, that's about right. I know a few chessplayers whose head I wouldn't
mind tossing through a plate-glass window.

It is these dang unrated players that give a black eye to chess.

Stan, also greater players can get violent. Amsterdam, 1950: Reshevsky, that
tiny guy (I dont know if you have ever seen him, but he was really small
size), punched Najdorf in the eye.

Najdorf was the winner of that tournament way back in 1950, and without any
losses. Reshevsky was number two, also with no losses. One reason for
Najdorf's winning the tournament was that Reshevsky had to concede a draw to
an italian by the name of Szabados who finished in shared last place - but
Reshevsky found out that Najdorf had helped Szabados analyzing the position
when the game was broken off (is this the correct english description?) and
then he got really ****ed off.
Here is the game:

There are two things about this story that makes me wonder, though:

It was the italian, Szabados, who was playing for a win, being a pawn up in
the endgame.
And: Najdorf too drew with Szabados.
