Just curious, if one of them isn't safe, how would we find out?

Why would Venezuelan chess players be harmed?

The president got abducted, I don't think any citizens got hurt though, most seem to like it.

Frankly we shouldnt be discussing politics but the topic's question seemed a bit weird to me...

Just saying … when chess.com bans a flag for a political reason for one country for invasion but not another country for the same reason they MAKE it political!
