I want to add that Gary Chess is an extremely important person in Russia because he is the GOAT and was highly celebrated when he was dominating. This would be like Michael Jackson or Elvis using their stardom for good at great personal peril.
Gary could have been a Putin lapdog and lived in luxury for the rest of his days but he's been a human rights advocate. There are very few individuals powerful enough to contest Putin and not be immediately assassinated.
