Russia Issues Arrest Warrant For Kasparov On Terrorist Charges
Russia Issues Arrest Warrant For Kasparov On Terrorist Charges
In March Russia added GM Garry Kasparov to its list of "terrorists and extremists". Last week they went one step further to arrest the chess legend in absentia for "terrorist activities".
For anyone unaware of who Kasparov is, he's a very famous chess World Champion from Russia who held the title for 15 years.
His crime? Not doing an en passant when he had the chance
HOLY HELL!
what the hell, don’t make me agree with Putin
Wow. Get out. Lmaoooo
Watch out, the 61 year old chess grandmaster is going to commit terrorism.
After a while, the rush from Chess-Boxing wears off, and you need to escalate to Chess-Bombing to get that adrenaline pumping again.
You are hereby sentenced to brick to pipi
Putin strikes me as the kind of person who'd lose against a bongcloud opening.
Putin strikes me as the kind of person who'd get angry if they couldn't mate you with the scholar's mate.
What the fuck is a bongcloud opening, that's a funny name.
This. A meme even played by the world’s best players.
I'd guess he would be a mediocre player I would lose to. Chess was actually highly regarded as a mind sport in the USSR and even taught in schools. And even if Putin is stupid, there are ways he can ensure I would never win (placing the chessboard on his side of his long table and getting me shot by security if I attempt to approach it).
If someone opened with bongcloud, I would be scared.
The only winning response to the bongcloud opening is a double bongcloud opening
That's why he wouldn't risk it and either fix the match or have the opponent player jump out a window and drink some Polonium tea.
I'm sure he saw this move coming.

They know things..... dangerous things.....
He tried to do the intercontinental ballistic missile gambit.
In that case, carry on with the charges.
He has already left Russia 9 years ago fearing his life. He actually was a presidential candidate in Russia until he encountered logistical problems that he blamed on official obstruction
To be fair, he could be a serious contender to replace Putin so it is not a big surprise that he is in danger
If republicans had any integrity at all, this would make them dislike Putin. But, of course, if they had any integrity they wouldn't be republicans.
Can we not make everything about US politics?
Just as soon as the fascists are gone. They won't go away on their own, and merely hoping they do is to enable them.
"Can we not make everything about German politics?" --guy in 1938
From the article...
A city court in Syktyvkar, the largest city in Russia's northwestern Komi region, is charging Kasparov of "creating a terrorist society, leading it, financing terrorist activities, and publicly justifying them," according to Kremlin-backed outlet TASS.
Its getting rediculous how countries trump up charges against their enemies.
Why is there a license in your comment?

I get that question asked frequently, so I'll just point you to this comment from me, which explains. ...
You only believe that because you are a brainwashed imperialist.
- lemmy.ml probably, idk
Looks like he lives in the US. He'd better be careful if the Cheeto takes power. Donny would love to send him to his Russian piss buddy in the Kremlin.
What's he going to do, kill Putin with an exploding rook?
He is accused of supplying Alekhine's gun to the enemy
Apologies for my previous sarcasm. He's a clear and present danger.
When he did en passant against Putin he signed his own death warrant
Putin was quoted as saying "святой ад"
that's some 5D chess shit right there
Fucking ridiculous
Long live Garry Chess.
I was wondering when this was going to happen
lmao
