Chess is still a big thing in Russia. He’s like a celebrity over there. you know Putin has influence on that guy because you can’t be a celebrity in Russia withou Putin’s consent

Good chess player, miserable human being.

Supporting genocide should get you a lifetime ban

No freedom of speech?

Fantastic

The checkers community is shitting their pants

So stop referring to this as putin’s war, this is russia’s war. They are all orcs.

End of US hegemony will be good for the world🙏🏼

NPR you would do well To take notice how things Tend to go in other nations Where by consensus They have decided That to speak your mind In certain means verboten The Radical Lefts Obsession with Cancel Culture Is Precisely the Same Thing We See In Much More Ruthless Regimes

Well that’s petty

Well, that wasn't the most strategic move from a grandmaster.

6 months is way too soft

That's very lenient. He should be banned for good.

Yet radio Sputnik is still being broadcasted out of Missouri...

Sadly he's no Kasparov63 for sure.

USA good guy 🤨😱😂

He should be permanently banned. 🚫

Didn't he have his right of expression again

Bullsiht

He’s Russian? What else he gonna do?🤣 he ain’t tryin to die.

6 months, what a joke! Like he will have a change of heart in 6 months or maybe it doesn't really matter. Because if it did, they would suspend him indefinitely.

Fuck America🔥🔥🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Lucky lad; should have stripped of any titles and banned from any future competitions.

Only six months? How many more countries does Russia need to invade for the ban to be permanent?

lol bye

When Putin does shit like this it is easy to see why Trump admires him so much. He would have loved to be able to punish opposition publicly much more than his tweets ever did.

Good at chess doesn't mean smart.

Why only 6 months?

So… he’s a Puntiner? A Trumper in Russia. Got it.

That's is how Westerns protect 'free speech' that is totally agreed with Westerns if you didn't then I will forbid you speaking right.

Not a grand chess grandmaster if he doesn't see Putin's got only pawns on his chess board, and is about to lose the entire game.

russians kill Ukrainian children, old people and women. Western business trades with the fascist dictatorship. Profit is more important than human life. Stop it. A complete ban on trade with russian fascists! Retweet please

He’s deserve lifetime ban

So I guess he won't have his one night in Bangkok

Maybe he can play for the Capitals instead.

Too bad for putin he didn’t have a grand master planning his assault

NPR Cookie Consent and ChoicesHolding people without trial and even worse without being charged for decades is horrible. It should not be allowed to go very long at all without due process. Hiding people outside the country because they may be a threat should not be an excuse. Atrocious to hold someone for a decade without due process. Inhumane and idiotic. I'd be good with solitary confinement for the rest of their lives.
