## Resource

Day 1,523. Today, after one of the deadliest bombardments Ukraine has endured this year, we hear of new Russian infiltration missions on the frontlines, how a masked Ukrainian soldier crashed a Zoom call at a Russian military recruitment event – telling students he would be forced to kill them if they joined the army – and more evidence that the US seeks to bring Moscow out of the cold by inviting them to the G20. Then we bring you a special update from the world of chess, and how names familiar to us – like Peskov and Shoigu – are involved in the Chess Federation, while the game is utilised as a tool of control in the occupied territories. Contributors: Francis Dearnley (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @FrancisDearnley on X. Malcolm Pein (Telegraph Chess Correspondent). @TelegraphChess on X. With thanks to the former coach of two chess world champions – and a Grandmaster himself – Peter Heine Nielsen.
