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!
Wow. Get out. Lmaoooo
what the hell, don’t make me agree with Putin
Putin strikes me as the kind of person who’d lose against a bongcloud opening.
I bet he takes back his moves.
And probably shouts “four of a kind, checkmate” randomly while waving arrest warrants in the hopes of distracting his opponent.
I think his opponent would just fall out a window.
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.
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.
If someone opened with bongcloud, I would be scared.
The only winning response to the bongcloud opening is a double bongcloud opening
I’m sure he saw this move coming.

They know things… dangerous things…
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
He tried to do the intercontinental ballistic missile gambit.
In that case, carry on with the charges.
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.
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”

Long live Garry Chess.
Fucking ridiculous
I was wondering when this was going to happen
