...and it's not Hans!

Charlie Yoo after losing to Fabiano Caruana tears up his score sheet (see vid)



Then off camera he punches a camerawoman, is thrown out of the tournament and arrested.

Experienced OTB players will know the feeling regarding the score sheet
but this was not a shock loss. Charlie is good enough to know he was lost
a long time before he resigned.

What happened next, 'a well prepared punch' according to Aronian is extraordinary.

Yes, I've been following this on you tube. IMHO this is inexcusable. Losing to a top GM like Caruana is nothing to be ashamed of or lose one's temper over. No one enjoys losing, but Charlie needs to grow up and learn some manners.

If he punched a woman he needs his a$$ beat to start, what a puss.
