“[Question from chat: Vladimir Borisovich, I’m still waiting for the day when you move from words to action and sue Chess.com]

I’d do it as soon as tomorrow if someone provided a million dollars for lawyers and court expenses.

Anything less is out of the question, so I will use other paths for now.”
