Chess-debate
An argument about toilet breaks brought the world chess championships to a two-day halt.
The match between Vladimir Kramnik of Russia and Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria was in jeopardy on September 29, after Kramnik boycotted the game when an appeals committee ruled against him using a private toilet cubicle and said each player should use a single common bathroom.
The investigation was promoted when Topalov’s manager accused Kramnik of taking too many toilet breaks, insinuating that he was using a computer to help him with chess moves - during the event which is being held in Kalmykia, Russia.
After further meetings the committee voluntarily handed in their resignation and Kramnik’s personal bathroom was re-opened.
The pair eventually resumed their game on October 3.
