Do we really want to gamble that Putain won't use nuclear weapons?
Gary Kasperov has a tweet where he argues like a chess player about this situation. https://twitter.com/Kasparov63/status/1503819568879394822
A chess player isn't who I would listen to in this situation. I would want the opinion of a high stakes poker player. Especially since Putain should have folded long ago.
Chess is logical. It has rules and defined moves. It's hard to cheat in Chess.
Unless someone overturns the chess board.
Poker is a different thing. Bluffing and cheating are commonplace. Toss in the pieces aren't sitting on a board.
One can argue that war is like chess. Ok, it's a game of strategy ...
