Not only that. I remember how he skipped the press interview when he lost a game against Karjakin at the WCH. Yeah, its very sad that we cant have a signature from another player like Ding the current champion.
Maybe you can sell the board for some money when you win it.

Or you can wait for 80 years, and sell it when he passes away

The website logs the time when answers are initially submitted, not when they are marked as "Correct". And you are of course free to ignore the stars; they don't mean anything.

I found the seventh one medium difficulty, 6/7 now.

His character flaws really undermine his talent, especially in the light of past chess megachampions such as Bobby Fisher who were much less flawed as human beings, and particularly not petty.

I'm not disagreeing xDD I just.. I expect champions to accept a social responsibility to their sport. They help define its future, whether they realize it or not.

I'm finding the eighth one pretty difficult. Will still need to solve it.
8/8
Ok, seriously, but I'll need to skip the eighth one. I've had too little time today and for the time that I had it was too difficult. 6/8.
