Ah the Russian culture continues to outperform itself. Lie, steal, kill, rape, murder, annex. Time for western governments to reject Russsian asylum seakers until they get their cancerous house in order. Down with Russia

Hey it works for putin.
Russian player Skilled in doping and posioning. 😂😂😂
She contemplated a balcony .
What a great society they have cultivated over there in Russia.
It is the russian way
Y know, this is exactly what the chess community needs. The plays are all memorized and predictable. It’s a dying game. A level of intrigue and meta conflicts above the chessboard taking place adds layers to the game. So it’s either this or allow trashtalk and footsies.
Checkmate beatch!!
russians smh
"this is like something straight out of a movie" would be right if its wasnt a normal russian thing to do. Could have been worse, they could have "fallen" out a window while deep-sea diving.
