"Really... you call this sport? Where's the violence? The stun grenades?!!" The speaker is the minister of sport, Limor Livnat. Caricature by Yonathan Wachsman, Calcalist, 22.5.2012. |
Anand and Gelfand have drawn the 9th and 10th games. In the meantime, the Israeli press is more or less daily reporting on the series. A selection of articles from the Israeli press -- most in Hebrew, one (from the Jerusalem Post) in English -- has been posted on the Israeli Chess Federation's web site by the site's manager, Avraham Kaldor. The press doesn't only report on the games, but also -- as in the caricature -- uses them to comment on more general social issues, such as the violence in soccer games.
