A comment on Norway Chess cancels Alexander Grischuk. Parent comment

Grischuk is a special personality who most of any chess enthusiast will know. This is like banning a Michael Jordan style personality - charismatic, charming, and a world class player on top. And he does this all in his own sort of unique deadpan style package. His demeanor and comments from the video in this thread are **EXTREMELY** out of character for him, emphasizing how much this is all clearly personally affecting him.

This is an absolutely stupid decision, and an injustice.

Two wrong don't make a right and two million wrongs most certainly don't.

The logic is simple.

If Ukrainians can’t play, then neither should Russians.

That is simple logic! So why are Russians being banned, considering Ukrainians can play in the tournament?

The ones who are able to travel while their country is invaded, yes.
