Hey folks, is there anyone from Cuba or North Korea there? I wanna play Civilization, chess, canasta, or something with them so I can get punished by the US for playing a harmless game match....

Can you even fathom how ABSURD it is that a man is prosecuted because of a chess match?
Punishment should be applied for harmful things. Not a chess match...

Yeah but that guy - apart from his insane chess ability - is an uber asshat.

So he's annoying or has opinions that contradict most people's (Including mine). Not enough reason to prosecute him, especially for a state that claims to be the land of the freedom of expression.
