Dennis "the Menace" Monokroussos, in his "Chess Mind" blog, claimed today that Judit Polgar "tied for third" at the recent European Individual Championships in France.
However, that is not true. Judit tied for first. She came third on tiebreaks.
"Tied for third" is a nonsense term, as it suggests that others joined her in third place. In truth, three others joined her in first place, and therefore she tied for first, not third.
It is precisely this sort of sloppy reporting that has earned Mr. Monokroussos the epithet "the Menace."
