Oliver Carroll, a Ukraine war correspondent for The Economist, summed up the situation with some social media snark: “I know that on the standards of Russian doping it’s perhaps only a 7 out of 10. But still…”

Sounds pretty Russian

AFC1886VCC ,

Poisoning people, pushing people out of windows, and shooting people twice in the back of the head. The holy trinity of Russian assassinations.

You had the chance to legitimately used ‘defenestration’ and you didn’t jump on it?!

Shou ,

No no, the point is to make someone jump on it. In this case, it was you!

Arstechnica.

Edit: for those not understanding the joke, arsenic (As) is another toxic metal.

The Quicksilver Gambit? In modern chess? We’re far beyond that!

Between this, the antisemitism of Bobby Fischer, and the guy cheating with the power of teledildonics, I have to wonder what the hell is up with chess players.

Nice to see an instance of my favorite word in the wild.

Teledildonics?

Good guess.

The only murder in Antarctica was a Russian killing somrone with an ice ax over a game of chess.

TranscendentalEmpire ,

Hell hath no fury like a competitive nerd being put on a pedestal.

I think this happens a lot anytime someone who perceives themselves as being shunned by society gets too much positive feedback and an iota of power over people.

I think its the same reason why every nerdy twitch streamer ends up being outed as an abusive child predator.

Commiunism ,

These chess strategies are getting more and more creative

AlolanYoda ,

I bet all the people who said “chess is a solved game” are feeling really silly right now

vxx ,

People that say that should always feel silly because chess isn’t solved.

ours ,

They’re thinking out of the box now. Or out of the board.

Mora ,

Should have used vibrating anal beads imstead.

This is a story made for all the chess meme communities

You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is “Never get involved in a land war in Ukraine.” But only slightly less well known is this: “Never go in against a Russian when death is on the line!”

werefreeatlast ,

Oooo, I heard putin like chess? Maybe he could play next?

Xerxos ,

This opening move is called “The Russian Statesman”. Very traditional.

I don’t get this, mercury will absorb into the skin but it’s not lethal unless you’re exposed to a constant amount over time

pivot_root ,

Evidently, she didn’t understand that dimethylmercury is not the same thing as elemental mercury.

Varyk ,

There’s a video of her putting the mercury on the board

vxx ,

Am I seeing it right thats she’s not wearing gloves?

Varyk ,

yes, apparently you can touch it and the effects are pretty mild with short exposure if you wash your hands after, most of the toxicity is from the fumes.

so she touched it but she was only there briefly, while her opponent that she was trying to poison was sitting there breathing in the fumes for 5 hours.
