A Russian chess queen allegedly poured poison onto the board set to be used by her opponent, who became ill just before the tournament started.
The CCTV footage was captured at the Dagestan Chess Championship, where the woman can be seen entering the room at the Chess Club, pouring the chemical onto the board before wiping it with a chess piece to disguise it, and then walking away.
