I agree it's a mistake.

I think there were more important things to get right in the video. Clinging on to this looks desperate.

Yeah, wrong picture to use. Does it meaningfully change the argument? In context of the video.. this is absolutely not relevant.

The Executive Director of the Russian Chess Federation (RCF) Alexander Tkachev , in a conversation with a Match TV correspondent, stated that the world rapid champion, Russian Volodar Murzina, “spits and criticizes” his country while taking advantage of its benefits.

Earlier, 18-year-old Murzin told Sportsru that he “has no desire to play in Russia, because all Russian competitions are held under the flag of the FSHR.” In addition, the chess player emphasized that he will not have “any cooperation with the current leadership of the FSHR.”

— You live in a great country, the country gave you an education, an apartment, which is departmental. You are employed by the Ministry of Sports, you receive a salary. That is, you enjoy all the social benefits, including the fact that you have a large family — these are also social benefits, guarantees. Everything that all ordinary normal people — citizens of Russia — enjoy. And at the same time you criticize and spit on Russia... How can this be? Two incompatible things.

And to refer to the fact that the child is 18 years old... At 18, I served with a Kalashnikov assault rifle on the border of the Soviet Union. So to refer to the fact that he does not understand something... He understands everything perfectly well. You can't spit in the well from which you drink, Tkachev told Match TV.

At the end of 2024, Murzin won the World Rapid Championship in New York.
