As most of you are probably aware by now, late-blooming chess prodigy Borislav Ivanov was recently arrested in Bulgaria on charges of forging documents. And as you probabaly also know, every time a celebrity goes to jail, people must create a hashtag calling for that person to be released... which is why I have done just that for Boris. Now all we need to do is post the #FreeBoris slogan all over the chess.com forums*, to let the Bulgarian authorities know that we will not tolerate the imprisonment of such a great and eccentric chess talent! Let us join together, my friends, and make our voices heard!

* But don't post too frequently, otherwise you may get muted for spamming. And since you have now been given fair warning, if you insist on ignoring my advice and do end up getting muted, I am not responsible for your actions.

Giving the reason he claimed to no removing his shoes, if he's not a cheater he's a pig, which is even worse.

Boris for prison

Avatar of Amplebeee
8 years is quite steep, just for drivers licences. nobody likes playing a robot, in chess robots arent allowed in tournaments .... i see a reconizable pattern, but that dosent mean he deserves 8 years..... send someone thats actually hurting people away, seems like hes helping people out,not hurting them. robots should definatly be stripped of the NM title .

I agree with all the people here, he should stay in prison the next 20 years, at least!

Avatar of Amplebeee

 Not for forging drivers licence, 20 years for that, but theyll let go of killers and rapists!!!! 

  That is not justice at all, the system is all wrong...

  Hes not hurting people.

Grandmaster Veselin Topalov, ranked No. 1 in Bulgaria, stated in an interview on 21 May 2013 that there is no evidence that Ivanov is cheating, and that "it's simply stupid to blame a chess player for performing well on the board."
