Kasparov has repeatedly and publicly displayed that he has "no class" and I don't care to hear excuses how this was an insult, that is still no excuse for his reaction in such a public setting. If he wanted to stew, he should have stewed in private and not ruin the event for everyone else, especially for the 15 year old Radjabov. Radjabov did nothing wrong , except play to best of his ability and he has to endured this childish outburst from a grown man? Kasparov is one of the worse sore losers that has ever played chess and IMO, that makes him a loser in the game of life. It's time to go home now Garry, your mommy is calling you. As mentioned in the story, the good news is that nobody will ever have to worry about losing to the 15 year old Radjabov after today... ....He turns 16 tomorrow.
