All of our human chess heros have clay feet.  If he had simply taken his beating
like a man, I would have ten thousand times more respect for him.  As it is, I
consider him to be the greatest chess player ever on the face of the earth, but
something of a whinging twit from time to time for reasons such as the above
quote.

Yet another reason why Yassar Seirawan is my favorite chess player.  He's quite
a good player, appears to be a good sport, and I have never seen him do anything
insane or innane.
