"chess champion" makes it sound like she's a GM or somrthing. She doesn't have any FIDE titles.
She did probably win some local chess-related competition, which technically makes her a "chess champion". See also parks & rec "award winning" meme/quote.
Just typical editorial exaggeration and clickbait, par for the course in today's "journalism". I hate it.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that this is quite unpleasant behavior that shouldn't necessarily be encouraged.
If only their government didn't do this exact behaviour
This is how pokemon would go in real life, you just straight up trying to murder that asshole rival
Pika, take out the power the grid; Sudo woodos, surround the city with your bodies; Mr mimes, night vision on and move in. Leave none for the Murkrows
Man chess competitions are wild. First was the sex toy cheating scandal and now this.
googles "chess sex toy cheating"
That episode of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia was based on a real event??
So there was a claim he was cheating but it's really hard to smuggle any devices into the match so it was JOKED that he used a sex toy, but thats only one theory lol
Lol, ya that's how I first heard about it. I love it's always sunny.
If it's just regular mercury, she's an idiot. You have to ingest it.
If it's on your hands, it'll transfer to whatever you eat.
Can I put it in a butt?
At least once you can
Whatever it was, it wasn't pure mercury. The victim suffered a severe reaction. Some organic mercury compounds are incredibly dangerous and can soak in easily through the skin. I'm surprised she's only facing three years, this sounds like attempted murder.
There was that chemist who got two drops of dimethylmercury on her gloved hand and ended up dead a few months later. That shit's scary.
Or inhale it. And smearing the chess pieces in mercury is likely to lead to inhaling lot.
