"Marital row with the Chess World Champion" is the translation of the caption, I think.

"Chess IM" is probably a better translation of the literal "Chess World Master".Dave Ewart wrote:"Marital row with the Chess World Champion" is the translation of the caption, I think.

I don't think so. Just do a Google search on "Schachweltmeister" and see whose names you get in the results.Brian Towers wrote:"Chess IM" is probably a better translation of the literal "Chess World Master".Dave Ewart wrote:"Marital row with the Chess World Champion" is the translation of the caption, I think.

"Schachweltmeister" means chess world champion, nothing else.

I agree that the caption would probably have been funnier if it _had_ translated as "Arguing with a grandmaster" or something less specific than "world champion".
