He liked to play chess.  So did Lenin.  Anyway, one of the chess games played by Marx, in 1867, was recorded ...

Marx was reckless in Chess, and in his personal life as well.

That was quite a game.  Though I doubt the Marx's tactical advance would succeed today.

Interestingly, for what it is worth, I note the Top 10 players...

1    Carlsen, Magnus            NOR    2843   
2    Mamedyarov, Shakhriyar    AZE    2814   
3    Kramnik, Vladimir            RUS    2800   
4    So, Wesley               USA    2799   
5    Aronian, Levon                    ARM    2797   
6    Vachier-Lagrave, Maxime    FRA    2793   
7    Caruana, Fabiano        USA    2784   
8    Nakamura, Hikaru        USA    2781   
9    Anand, Viswanathan   g    IND    2779   
10    Giri, Anish                            NED    2777   

And only 1 is Russian.

He wasn't very good at quiz shows, though:

How does that connect to chess?  Most top chess-players are kind of weird.
