Its not about loosing, its about the quality. Opening was beyond belief. Then he could not see even the most obvious threats. It was under 1000 level play. Funny thing is that in interview he brags about been a chess player and therefore smart. If you play like that in my part of the world you would be barred from playing forever.
He's surrounded by hangers on most of the time whose primary function is to massage his ego. You play on chess.com ?
Yes I do, rating 1500. If you want to have a game pm me your username.

He would not even qualify to participate in chess boxing match which has requirement of minimum 1600 Elo rating. No wonder he refused to play against Wlad. I have not seen Wlads games but it cant be that bad.
On some John Inverdale fronted BBC show of the noughties he played Steve Davis at speed chess and lost his queen in about 5 moves. They cut away before we saw him bludgeoned.

In fairness he might not be quite that bad, since it was an interview over chess rather than just a straight chess game.
