Wolf Mornings with Brian and Luke
Chess Mercury Poisoning
I'm finding out now that some chess players very ruthless. Yeah. Including one person in Russia accused of poisoning a rival chess contestant. Yeah. Wow. That's taking a little bit too seriously. And it's how it was done. Yeah. Yeah. So Amena Abba Corova went into an empty room where the chessboards were set up. And she smeared mercury from a thermometer onto the board where Uma Gannett, Olds Manova would soon be playing. Wow. According to this report, Olds Manova sought medical assistance during her game after feeling nauseated and dizzy, but has recovered. Good. Yeah. And police reviewed surveillance footage to find out what exactly happened. Yeah. And the, the sports minister from this area said, like many others, I'm perplexed by what happened. Now she'll have to answer for her actions before the law. You know, you really want to win when you break out the mercury and decide to smear it on the opponent's chessboard. Well, I've been, I've been teaching our eldest Alex had to play a chess. And I'm like, you get mercury from a thermometer and you just smear it on your opponent's board. That's, that's how you win. That's the whole point of chess. I hope he never asked me to play. Hey, Brian, Uncle Brian, you want to play? No, no, I do not.
