THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU Ben for such a lucid and sensible editorial. We need more voices like yours and a lot fewer from spoiled children like Magnus or the incompetents at FIDE.
Agree with all your comments. It is worrying when you start agreeing with Hans but he is making sense/correct. There is hope for better behaviour in future - you just need to look at the respect shown and excellent behaviour in the recent world championship match. Also Carlsen will become increasingly peripheral and his influence wain.
