Chess hooliganism

While everyone focuses their fears on English, German, and Dutch hooligans during the World Cup, the real action is in chess. (via Jeffrey Lewis).
This just in from The Times of London. British Grandmaster Danny Gormally punched and shoved the world's number 3 player Levon Aronian at the Chess Olympiad in Turin Monday. They ended up rolling on the floor. At the heart of the dust-up was Arianne Caoli, 19, Women's International Master playing for Australia.
