- georgemcbay 13y agoI agree with you, I was sarcastically quoting the article this was linked to. 2nd paragraph under the video: ""Wow, that was fast," he said to Carlsen, whose rockstar appeal has won him the moniker the "Justin Bieber of chess.""
- oldstrangers 13y agoHaha ouch. That's awful.
- prateekj 13y agoI couldn't agree more! Why would anyone come up with "Justin Bieber of Chess"?
- georgemcbay 13y agoFreelance journalists aren't paid by the word anymore, they are paid by the Bieber. No sense writing an article without the word Bieber in it, that's not worth a dime.
- prawn 13y agoNo one would've been talking about it if they said Mozart of Chess.
