"Dream - Female chess player Amina Abakarova daringly poisoned her rival, Umayganat Osmanova, in order to achieve victory while competing in the Dagestan Chess Championship in southern Russia. The incident was revealed through CCTV footage showing Abakarova secretly placing a gray powder believed to be mercury. The powder appeared to be placed on the chessboard that Osmanova would use. After looking around, Abakarova carefully sprinkled the toxic substance using one of the chess pieces to spread it along the edge of the board."

"Despite being affected by a poison that caused severe dizziness and nausea, Osmanova continued the tournament and managed to achieve victory. After the incident, Abakarova confessed to the police that she had intentionally placed mercury on the chessboard to harm Osmanova. The motive behind her actions was personal animosity after Osmanova was reported to have spoken disrespectfully about Abakarova and her family."

"Meanwhile, Osmanova, who survived, demands the maximum sentence for Abakarova for this attempted murder. This incident shocked the chess community and the wider public. "The actions taken could have had tragic consequences, threatening the lives of everyone present, including himself. Now he must be held accountable for his actions before the law," said the Dagestan Minister of Sports, Sazhida Sazhidova, as quoted by Oddity Central."
