Ukrainian chess player Bogdanovich, who played for Russia against Ukraine, found dead in Moscow
His girlfriend was also found dead.
The 27-year-old chess player Stanislav Bogdanovich, who is from Odesa, and his 18-year-old girlfriend Alexandra Vernigora, who is also from the Odesa region, were found dead in Moscow. Several sources confirmed this information to the Telegram channel Mash.
It is noted that balloons filled with nitrous oxide were lying next to the couple: preliminarily, they were poisoned by laughing gas. They were found with bags on their heads. When the ambulance arrived, they were already dead.
Vernigora ranked 1,861st in the rankings of the World Chess Federation (FIDE), while Bogdanovich was the Ukrainian blitz chess champion in 2013.
The day before, the grandmaster played an online chess game for the Russian team against Ukraine, which he wrote about himself on his Facebook. He explained his move by saying he had been paid for it, and also that, since he is currently in Russia, playing against them would be “unseemly”.
Later, the post disappeared from his page, and he himself wrote: “I discovered that my divine post has been deleted. The moral: always log out of social media before stepping away from the computer, even for a minute.”
After this, he was added to the Myrotvorets database.
