Humor Corner
If chess were a video game, Ruslan Ahundov would be that player who not only exploits every glitch in the matrix but also happens to look good doing it. When others resign, he’s just getting started. When opponent's clocks tick down, his mind races ahead with plans so secretive even the pawns look suspicious. In short: a truly formidable chess warrior who probably dreams in knights and bishops.
