excerpt from travelling article
In the first round of 33rd Andorra Open I cowardly played Smyslov’s variaton in Grunfeld’s defense and everything went well – I was hoping to reach a draw against the opponent whose rating is ca. 550 points higher than mine.
I saw that he couldn’t write my name on score-sheet properly: instead Crnkovic, he wrote “xxxCNTcccc”. I thought it was fy.cking vane and coc--ky for a man who is wearing Olimpiakos shirt and has a name “Jerez Perez etc, something”, like Prezzos in Serbian.
Next to him there was sitting an old man, Pampliage was his name, and this player was expelling strange voices through his larynx, like sqeaking old dog who is about to die. In between those sqeaking sounds, he talked to himself like a vetrilquoist. Probably an obstructive bronchitis, which will bring him death in a few years, in nice state hospital with well paid nurses who won’t hate their patients too much.
