    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.

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

        Hmmm lets examine this statement.

        Isolated weird place, scary Russians, Russian stereotypes of intellectual game + tremendous violence.

        Gee, it almost sounds like this is a too convenient racist lie. Any proof? The oldest reference just says ‘it totally happened’ and cites something I can’t access on Google books. It’s 20 years after the fact and not a primary source.
