Jose Capablanca, the Cuban who was world champion, (1921-1927) and esteemed one of the greatest players of all time, was famous for womanizing and partying. He played shortstop for Columbia (before Lou Gehrig was there) and dropped out to concentrate on chess. Asked how many moves ahead he played, he replied, “One, but it always the right move!”
Of course, just because you’re a lush doesn’t mean you’re Capablanca.,

Clueless headline.
He wasn’t checkmated; he lost on time control.

Indian papers carried pictures of the world number 58 sleeping and the organizers' futile attempts to wake his up. It isn't sleeping it is being passed out!

He's 58th in the world? Why doesn't he just give up?

“A leading French chess player”
That phrase has been something of an oxymoron since Louis de La Bourdonnais died in 1840. I suppose Etienne Bacrot is worthy of some note, but not the drunk mentioned in this article.
