A very fine Swan indeed


How does Magnus Carlsen come to be wearing a Swansea City shirt in Chennai?

I notice that Jan Åge Fjørtoft spotted this on 19 August...

Maybe he doesn't like football:)

The shirt was given to Magnus as a gift at a Tata Steel Chess Tournament recently, by a Tata Steel employee from Swansea (they have a major steel works just outside of Swansea)

Chess Hedonist: Swansea are well known for playing attractive football; just the way it was intended to be played. If anything, this would prove he IS a fan of football. Though based in Scotland, I appreciate you may not know attractive football too well ;)

Anonymous - thanks very much!

I very much enjoyed Swansea's demolition of Valencia recently. Mind you, I switched on late and - having missed thse sending-off - it took me some time to realise why it was that an away side seemed to have so much possession...
