Russia’s game of nuclear chess is worrisome, American officials say – POLITICO

Multiple American officials expressed concern over reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin plans to move tactical nuclear weapons into Belarus, though the U.S. has not yet seen any moves by Russia to do, National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said Sunday.
We have not seen any indication that hes made good on this pledge or moved any nuclear weapons around, Kirby said during in interview on CBSs Face the Nation. Weve, in fact, seen no indication he has any intention to use nuclear weapons, period, inside Ukraine.
Though the U.S. will continue to monitor the situation, weve seen nothing that would cause us to change our deterrent posture, Kirby said.
Over the decades of the Cold War, the U.S. declined to directly intervene after Soviet invasions of Hungary in 1956, of Czechoslovakia in 1968 and of Afghanistan in 1979 because of fears that the Soviet Union would further escalate the situation by using its nuclear weapons against the United States and other NATO countries. During the 13 months of the Ukraine war, some in the West have expressed fears that support for Ukraine could lead to exactly that.
But Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.) said Sunday the threat from Moscow should not stop the U.S. from continuing its support for Ukraine.
Putin has engaged in nuclear saber-rattling since the start of this crisis, Gallagher said during an appearance on ABCs This Week. Its something to be concerned about. But we should not allow his threats to deter us. We cant allow that to be a cause for delaying critical weapon system[s] that we need to deliver to the Ukrainians.
Putin announced the plans to build a storage facility for nuclear weapons in neighboring Belarus by July 1 on Saturday, according to reports from a Russian state-owned media outlet, Ria Novosti.
Tensions are rising, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Michael McCaul (R-Texas) said during an interview on Fox News Sunday. I think this is saber-rattling on the part of Putin.
Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) described Putin as a dangerous man, and said the threat demonstrates the need for U.S. leaders and those vying for leadership to see that threat as vital to U.S. interests.
Speaking on CNNs State of the Union, Warner said that if American support for Ukraine wavers, Putin could move on to threaten Poland or President Xi Jinping could take U.S. weakness as more of a green light to potentially take action against Taiwan.
Anyone who doesnt understand that is remarkably nave, or not understanding the kind of geopolitical challenging times that we live in, he said.
On Sunday, NATO criticized Russia for what it described as dangerous and irresponsible nuclear rhetoric, though a NATO spokesperson said the organization had not seen any changes in Russias nuclear posture.

Teacher struggles to raise funds for his chess champions – The Chicago Cusader
Photo caption: MR. JOSEPH OKOL (left) and another teacher with the winning chess team.
Students in Joseph Ocols Ella Flagg Young elementary school won second place in the CPS K-8 chess playoffs Saturday, March 11 at the Solorio Academy High school, 5400 S. St. Louis in Chicago. With this win, the teacher has more of an incentive to raise funds to take his students to Washington, D.C. for the national finals.
Ocol took his students to a state chess competition last month and they came in 10th place out of 60 schools. He needs $25,000 to take eight students and two chaperones to Washington, D.C. to participate in the national finals and to fund his after-school program.
This is the second year Ocol has conducted an after school chess club. He established the first Chess Club last year because he says the club increases academic success and teaches students valuable life lessons.
The most important lesson is understanding how each chess piece they move will have consequences in life. He wants to take his students to Washington, D.C. this month to compete against the best, but there is one snag, money.
Ocol said he was proud that his students, who are in seventh and eighth grades competed in the Illinois state finals and came in 10th out of 60 schools in February. We were the only ones from CPS who competed in the state tournament, he said.
We are trying to open opportunities for these kids and to give them a chance to shine. Many of them come from low-income homes with many of them in foster care. They cannot do it by themselves because some of them are not even with their parents, said Ocol who has taught with the Chicago Public Schools for the past 18 years.
When asked why did he form a chess club, Ocol said he began the program at Marshall High School when one of his students was fatally shot. I found out that the most dangerous time for kids to be outside of the building after school is from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. That is when I proposed my chess club last year.
I teach my kids that chess is about life. Every move they make has consequences and they have to think over and over before they make a move, Ocol said. Last month, one of his students could not come to the state tournament because his brother was fatally shot.
It was again a mistaken identity. He was only 16 years old, but he was in the wrong place at the wrong time, Ocol said. The brother, his student who is now in the eighth grade, wants to come to the Washington, D.C. competition this year.
Ocol said it has been hard for this student to handle the murder of his brother and that he comes to his chess class after school. This is another factor that is pushing Ocol to raise funds to take the students to D.C. He said his students deserve an opportunity to compete with the best.
Besides playing chess, Ocol said it is also a chance for them to win scholarships. According to Ocol, There is a big correlation between chess and academics. Its all about making choices in life. He said one of the pieces is the queen, which is the most powerful piece and the lonely pawn he said is only one point. That is the only piece that can become a queen.
I think my students can become the most powerful people in the world like the lonely pawn that can become the queen, he said.
Ocol is asking people to donate on levels of funding including: Queens gambit ($20), Snacks on me for one month ($100), Local Hero for the teams registration costs for local tournaments throughout Chicago for one academic year ($500), and Champion for traveling, lodging, registration and meals ($1,500), Grandmaster ($25,000), which would fully fund Ocals chess competition budget for one academic year including travel, room and board to nationals for up to 15 competitors.
Checks should be made out to Ella Flagg Young Elementary School, In care of Joseph Ocol, Teacher, 1434 N. Parkside Ave., Chicago, IL 60651. You must put on the check the funds are for the Chess Club.

Teacher struggles to raise funds for his chess champions - The Chicago Cusader
Interview: Kosteniuk On Federation Change, ‘There Cannot Be … – Chess.com
GM Alexandra Kosteniuk has transferred federations to Switzerland and will no longer represent Russia. You can read more about the federation transfer in this news article. The interview below focuses on the personal consequences of the federation change and the context of the Russo-Ukrainian War.
The 38-year-old grandmaster is one of the best women chess players in history. She was the 10th woman to earn the grandmaster title, in 2004, and was the women's world champion from 2008 until 2010. Kosteniuk is also a two-time Russian womens champion, a European womens champion (also two-time rapid and three-time blitz champion for European women), and a 10-time gold medalist in team competitions playing for Russia (at three Olympiads, two Women's World Team Championships, and five European Team Championships).
In 2021, she won the inaugural Women's World Cup and Women's World Rapid Championship, while also taking silver in the Women's World Blitz Championship. In 2023, she won the second leg of the FIDE Women's Grand Prix, which is part of the qualification cycle for the FIDE Women's Candidates Tournament 2024. She is number seven on FIDE's list of the world's top women.
Kosteniuk is the 12th women's world chess champion, a grandmaster, educator, advocate for peace, streamer, and mom.
Any plans to move to Switzerland?
"I don't know. We're quite flexible. I mean, the main reason that I'm staying and I'm residing right now in the south of France [is] because my daughter attends a tennis academy there and she's been there for three last years. ... But other than that, we are not really attached."
She mentioned that the weather is good and that her home is conveniently placed near an airportan important consideration for professional chess players who travel often. She added: "We're chess players and so it can change any minute, any second. ... It's very hard nowadays to make any plans. Since [the] pandemic, we kind of got told that we should not really plan ahead for so many months or years, so we take it day by day."
How do you feel about the change? Are you sad to leave your country?
"It's a mixture of feelings. If I'm in an optimistic mood, I would say that, okay... it was a wonderful chapter, 20 years on the Russian national team, but it's over and now there is another one, another chapter: me playing for the Swiss national team. It was not really expected and... I never thought it would happen this way, but that's of course quite a sad feeling, to tell you the truth, and I think it's a wound that I'm going to require more time to somehow get over... to accept it because it's still too emotional and too early, I think, to say and comprehend [it]."
Kosteniuk spoke slowly and clearly throughout the whole interview, but she noticeably slowed down even more as she talked about the "sad feeling," choosing her words carefullyas if she were discovering the feelings anew by speaking them into existence.
She went on: "The decision that I took, it's not an easy decision for me, but for several reasons I felt that I cannot leave everything as it was. So I needed to act somehow, to send a signal that I'm not accepting what's going on."
The decision that I took, it's not an easy decision for me, but for several reasons I felt that I cannot leave everything as it was.
Alexandra Kosteniuk
It's impossible to talk about the federation change without talking about the war. Kosteniuk hasn't been quiet about her feelings regarding the matter, which has hung like a dark cloak or an ice age over the world for one year now. Kosteniuk transferred to the effectively "neutral" FIDE flag, no longer representing Russia, in March 2022, shortly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Some Russian players have voiced opinions about the war, while others haven't. Kosteniuk was one of the 44 Russian chess players to publish an open letter to Vladimir Putin on March 3 last year, expressing solidarity with Ukraine and stating: "We support peace. Stop the war." She has also posted several times on Instagram, calling the war a "nightmare" and that she hoped the violence "will end soon and that all the actions that are happening now will not lead to huge irreversible consequences for all humanity" (translated from Russian).
There are several other posts. In one of them, a long criticism of the war and wars in general, she stated an idea that resurfaces in this interview: "It is frightening and painful for me to realize that, despite the fact that [then] on the calendar it's 2022, people have not learned how to live peacefully" (translated from Russian).
How has the war affected you? What's it been like in the last year?
"Well, it's been a very hard year, of course. Now, you know, words have different values, and I cannot compare my situation, which is, okay, difficult personally for me, but I cannot imagine what some other people are going through. [It's] not comparable, right, when I'm talking about how difficult it was. I fully understand... that people are getting through much worse right now, and it's actually a tragedy to witness such a situation in the 21st century. Who could've imagined, I mean, such things can start and go on?"
... it's actually a tragedy to witness such a situation in the 21st century. Who could've imagined, I mean, such things can start and go on?
Alexandra Kosteniuk
"My whole life kind of turned around quite a lot because, well, I remember that one of the... best times of my life [was] January 2022 after a wonderful year of 2021. I won quite a lot of tournaments, and I was working for Chess.com, ChessComRu. ... I was very happy when Chess.com in July 2020 offered me this job, and I've been enjoying every single minute of that, and then, yes, February 24th came. The war started, Chess.com got banned in Russia, and I was not able to continue, you know, broadcasting Russian."
Coming back to the bigger picture, she resumed: "We're living in this nightmare. ... We are witnessing quite a tragic situation. ... The [Russian] government decided to accept some laws that wouldn't allow people to go and protest and to say they are against this war and, well, they just putting those who continue doing such stuff in jail, and that's very sad because people outside of Russia they often complain about Russian citizens not being active, not going on protests, not saying that they are against this war, you know.
"I compare it to myself with a situation, when you are a hostage, nobody is complaining that you as a hostage are doing nothing. It's just almost impossible to go against armed forces."
Other Russian players have leftand are leavingthe country as well. Kosteniuk's husband, for one, plays for France, and her former national teammate, IM Alina Kashlinskaya, plays for Poland. GM Alexandr Predke, who is number 55 in the world, has represented Serbia since March 3, the same day that Tregubov and Kosteniuk transferred. The most recent flight was by GM Evgeny Alekseev on March 9 to Israel.
The very best Russian players, like GMs Ian Nepomniachtchi, Alexander Grischuk, Sanan Sjugirov, Daniil Dubov, and Vladislav Artemiev, continue to represent their homeland. (GM Sergey Karjakin is not included on this list because he's no longer listed as an active player.)
Other strong Russian GMs, like Vladimir Fedoseev,Alexey Sarana, and Nikita Vitiugov, currently play under the FIDE flag. Although they have not changed federations to a different country, they have criticized the war.
To avoid paying the fee to transfer federations, many players have changed to the FIDE flag and planned to wait two years, after which the fee would be waived. As part of the Russian Chess Federation's transfer from the European Chess Union to the Asian Chess Federation, however, the fee is now waived for Russian players who move to a European chess federation.
We may see more Russian players transfer to European federations in the coming weeks and months as a result of this recent change.
How do you see the future of Russian chess, which has had such a long history?
"The minute my transfer was official, the very next day [the] Russian Chess Federation announced that they found a very good substitute and they don't have any problems with me switching to another federation, which is apparently, okay, it's halfway true."
Making the switch from "we" to "they" when speaking about the Russian national teams must be difficult for her, as she illustrated in this statement: "We have many strong players and a women's team. ... If they are able to play and to compete in the near future, then we will fight for gold medals as usual.
"But still, I think the development of chess in Russia, somehow, will be connected to the situation. I mean [the] overall situation in Russia. It cannot live, you know, separately; it's going to be affected. If [the economy] will go down, then somehow it's going to influence the players."
She mentioned that there are significant difficulties for players who are staying in Russia, such as bans and fewer invitationsshe did not mention it explicitly, but Russia and Belarus were not allowed to participate in the Chess Olympiads in 2022, for example.
"Not everyone has a chance to leave or switch federation[s]... and they don't really have to because it's their country. And right now we really need to separate those two issues. I mean, the country and the government. People who are in power to make decisions and who should be responsible... and chess players. Okay, I hear people complaining that somehow the government using those players for the image, and I say, come on, let the government spend all the money on sports and on chess... if they want to." After a pause, she said: "It would be better than spending millions on weapons."
Circling back to the future of Russian chess, Kosteniuk said: "I know Russia has always been one of the leading chess countries and... a player from the national team gets very, very good support from the Russian Chess Federation. So it's one, I think, of the best countries in terms of supporting chess players. ... The situation hasn't changed yet, and I do hope that it's not going to change any [time] soon and chess will always stay [as a] very important part of the social image.
"I was born in [the] Soviet Union, but it collapsed when I was just seven years old, and I was growing up in Russia, [which] was desperate at that time. ... There was no money at all, no salary. I mean, my parents barely found the money for food, and I was earning money from a very young age playing chess. So I know what is it to grow up in a country [that] is in very poor economical shape, and in the last 20 years or so, Russia has been growing a lot... but now the situation is very hard and any war is already like a loss. It's already very bad. Despite the outcome, there cannot be winners in wars."
It's already very bad. Despite the outcome, there cannot be winners in wars.
Alexandra Kosteniuk
The "mixture of feelings" she described earlier is apparent as she concluded: "So it's going to be very hard for Russia in general and for the Russian Chess Federation as well. ... I only wish them the best, and I do hope that they will overcome difficulties and they are not going to lose their power, chess power."
