Only in Russia...
Wasn't this a Columbo episode?
Wasn't this a Columbo episode?
quote:
A chess player has been suspended by the Russian Chess Federation and is reportedly facing time in jail after she allegedly tried to poison her rival at the chessboard during a tournament.
Amina Abakarova, a 40-year-old chess coach from Makhachkala in the Russian Republic of Dagestan, is accused of trying to poison her rival, 30-year-old Umayganat Osmanova.
quote:
Security camera footage shows the incident where Abakarova calmly walked over to the board where Osmanova was supposed to appear 20 minutes later. It was reported that she'd previously asked if cameras were in operation and been told that they weren't. She then smeared what is said to be potentially deadly mercury from a thermometer.

Walter Benjamin and Bertolt Brecht Playing Chess While in Exile from Nazi Germany, Denmark 1934
I am the neighbor. The one who turned him in.
We don't want an agitator
here in our building.
When we hung out the swastika,
He didn't hang one out.
When we asked him why he didn't,
He asked us if we had any room in our little apartment
Where we live with four children, for a flag pole.
When we told him that we believed in the future,
He laughed.
We didn't like that they beat him up
In the stairwell. And tore up his jacket, too.
They shouldn't have done that.
None of us have a lot of jackets.
At least he is gone now, and the building is quiet.
We have enough worries, so
It's important to at least have peace and quiet.
Of course we see how some people
Look the other way, when they meet us.
But those who took him away, say
That we did the right thing.
