> You have no clue at all what the room situation was, so sit down. The real jerk is you. I think that is uncivil because unlike him, you really didn't know he was the big guy in chess for a long time before Carlsen. Anand, Kramnik and Kasparov were the trifecta - the poster boys of chess as we knew growing up. > and I really didn't know how big a deal Kasparov was. I underestimated that. Considering a lot of Googlers have great respect and interest in algorithmically challenging games, you should have sort of known more than 100 could turn up easily. For regular talks with some honcho, we expect a bigger audience. Heck, just ask another colleague if in doubt. It sounds shallow that you call Kasparov the jerk for complaining the room is at full capacity, when you should have been better at hosting.
