Tiviakov is such a bad loser. Read http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=7768. In this entry he talks really negative about the Bogota tournament (2nd Jahv McGregor) playing conditions (Apparently he is right about the terrible playing conditions). However, he has the guts to directly attack a fellow player, arguably STRONGER than he is (we are talking about Lazaro Bruzon from Cuba, an 2690 rated player), which also shows that Tiviakov is a cry baby and a bad loser. He even includes the transcription of the game that Bruzon lost to Alonso Zapata in 25 moves adding that Bruzon played badly in this tournament and didn't deserve the first place. That he did, and as such was entitled to the extra 1K that Bruzon pocked.
I remember a couple of years ago when he participated in the Capablanca memorial in Cuba and playing in the premier group (2nd strength after the elite) he became the punching bag for Cuban players rated in the 2500-2590 range (notice that we are not talking about Dominguez and Bruzon who were in the elite group but of weaker players, the likes of Quesada, Corrales, Almeida, peruvian Cordoba and so forth).
I am always looking forward to his reports after tournaments because of the pictures that he always includes but chess-wise he is mediocre, a bad loser and totally overrated.
