One of the youngest ever chess stars to earn the title of grandmaster will face disciplinary action after showing public support for Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Sergey Karjakin was born in the Crimean city of Simferopol in the dying days of the Soviet Union, and represented Ukraine during his early days as a chess prodigy.
He became the youngest grandmaster ever when he earned the title aged 12 years and seven months, though that record has since been surpassed.
