The Scarlet Letter

At tonight’s gala dinner at Simpson’s in the Strand 16th World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen (standing left) long entertained himself by chatting with Lawrence Trent (standing right), Fabiano Caruana’s manager and mentor. But Magnus’s eyes stared far away, and he looked like he was yawning while listening to Garry reading an unsigned love letter to Sophia. Photo: Lennart Ootes (@LennartOotes).

So, even today, Magnus did not manage to get rid of his glass flower pot (idem to say his Grand Chess Tour trophy). Yet, it would need just a flower to make it worth a kiss. Photo: Lennart Ootes (Flickr).
