Last night, yours truly received an interesting email from London. It talked about The Times of London wanting to do a story on THAT punch and asked me if I could stay up a little longer while arrangements for contacts and interviews are made. After a series of emails and a chat on MSN, the night ended, I thought, unsuccessfully as we couldn't get a hold of the main players.
I was wrong. Ray Keene and Rajeev Syal, Times reporters, still managed to file a story that even includes a quote from ACF head, Denis Jessop.
The story: How Dare You Take My Queen?

Fascinating... the best article yet on the subject. Wish someone had had a video camera, lol. Don't know where they got the idea that Arianne is a grandmaster though. The writers would know she isn't. Must have been edited in?
Arianne isnt even a WIM and yet the Times have elevated her to a grandmaster. Poor research,but otherwise not to bad an article.
Cant see why Jessop feels there should be an "inquiry" though,Arianne didnt do anything wrong!
Think before you speak Denis.
She's a WIM.
Arianne actually holds one IM norm and 2 WGM norms.
Better get the ACF site to do an update,they list her as a WFM.
"Anna Kournikova of the chess world"... how original. I thought that was Kosteniuk?
Anyway what's a 30 year old man doing getting into a fight over a 19 year old girl? Oh wait, he still lives with his parents.
The BCF should require him to issue a public statement to the effect that "I am a tosser".
Could be a catfight between Arianne and Kosteniuk, Greg.
I could just imagine Kostenuik shouting "How dare you call yourself the Kournikova of chess,thats my title!" haha
