Aug-13-25 Magnus Carlsen
| |
| Freelance Assassin: <Who do I need to kill in order to be able to play chess like Carlsen?> A high-ranking Russian general, three-star rank or higher. (The Ukranian military would also really appreciate it if you manage to kill one of them.) |

| |
| Freelance Assassin: They could've accepted a draw at move 69, but no. Lee lost the first game, which means she had to win this one or get knocked out, so presumably she was the one who wanted to drag this game out. |
