SoldierofLove Posted August 9 Posted August 9 A Russian chess champion has been suspended from competing after she was filmed allegedly tampering with another player's game pieces and contaminating a chessboard with mercury. In the 35-second video, a woman who resembles Abakarova is seen walking through a room of tables preset with chess boards. She approaches one desk at the edge of the room and removes something from her personal bag. The woman looks over her shoulder once, then appears to spill something over the chessboard before walking away. During the actual tournament, competitor Umaiganat Osmanova fell ill. https://globalnews.ca/news/10688007/russian-chess-champ-amina-abakarova-poison-mercury-competition/ Not even chess is safe Chess!
