Ivan Aleksandrovich Napomniachatchi, ranked third in the world, wore a shirt with a quote from the Argentine and was fined during the World Championships in Kazakhstan


Ever since Argentina won the World Cup in Qatar, their undisputed star, Leo Messi, has been receiving countless tributes.

Some are elegant, some are emotional, some are also silly - like a tattoo of his name on the forehead - and some are amusing.

One of them is the shirt that became a hit, the one with the print: QUE MIRA BOBO, which means: what are you looking at, dumbass.

A sentence that Messi said to one of the players of the Netherlands team at the end of their meeting in the quarter-finals of the World Cup.

One of the buyers of this shirt is none other than the Russian chess champion, Ivan Aleksandrovich Napomaniachetchi, who decided to wear it for one of his matches in the World Championship that is currently being held in Kazakhstan.

Ranked third in the world, he came to the battle of the brains determined to win, but managed to upset his opponents and especially the organizers of the competition, who accused him of violating the dress code, and one of the judges of the competition fined him for it.

Nepomniachetchi accepted the fine with understanding and apologized.
