Today Roskomnadzor has blocked chess.com in Russia. This was made on the continuous requests from Karjakin, who stated that chess.com is a Russophobic place. Karjakin also asked Roskomnadzor to block other chess platforms including lichess, chessable, kasparovchess, stlouischessclub, etc., blaming them for spreading lies about discretization of the Russian army. The banning of the website also means the owners of the platform are prohibited from entering Russia.
