Role-models

It always deeply saddens me, then somebody cheats in Chess. It takes an extra impact, if that person is a celebrity or rolemodel, having done something significant in their lives to put their name and country on the map. And to throw it all away with this non-apology of "How could people believe, I could win the World Champion!!" judging from his caste of Gaud Saraswit Brahmin and being a colledge dropout, perhaps there lies the arrogance problem. That he feels above the law.... but that's for anyone to decide. I don't ask anyone to contact him nor any good nor evil to befall him. He knows best, what he has done, whether he wishes to do something about it or not, though, he could have left his apology unsaid. Thenever you do stuff like that, think how the children of your country shall see this, and how it will impact them growing up. It devastated me personally, if I had to accept, that Andrus Veerpalu used doping; especially because his son followed suit!! After that, I havent been able to look at skiing quite the same, then Estonians compete. You should always think, what damage it wroughts then you say or do things beyond your own reputation. Especially Hindus should understand the concept of Karma, or that it can be shared by countries and communities, especially now, then we are connected through the internet. 

How should indian kids come to chess from now on, or people take them seriously? 

How should the next Viswanathan Anand emerge?

How should such fundraiser chess-simuls be regarded from now on? 

Also, how to safeguard the integrity of future events, to avoid cheating!! 

I hope all counterparts learned something from it, and nothing else wont matter; also I hope Nikhil Kamath would be touched by Caissa (the corresponded Virtue-Spirit of Chess) and find more in this game, than just cheating. After this kind of learning curve, it would be nice, if he would get at the very least towards 2000 if not above. Take care anyone, Halleluyah!
