Chess Kills.

Sitting in his bullet proof cell in the court hes wondering where he went wrong.

Alexander Pichuzhkin aged 33, is to go on trial in Moscow for the murder of 51 people. It is said he told police he meant to kill one person for each square on a chess board, that's 64 in total. He had a note book with a drawing of a chess board on it and 61 squares were filled in. He'd lure mostly homeless people into the woods at Bitzevsky Park with the promise of alcohol and then he'd bash their heads in with a hammer and throw them into a sewage pit to drown if they weren't dead already.


Andrei Chikattilo the Butcher of Rostov killed 53 women and children, Pichuzhkin wanted to beat that and become bigger. Maybe he wanted a cool name too like the 'Grocery store shelf packer of death' its better than the chess board killer.


Pichuzhkin killed for the first time when he was 18, he was dumped by a gurl named Olga who started going out with a mutual friend named Sergei. Pichuzhkin threw Sergei out of a window and later he says he killed Olga when he got her to go to Bitzevsky Park with him.
A cocky proud fella, I don't think hes all there but he was declared sane enough for trial. The Butcher of Rostov was executed in 1994 but in 1996 Russia suspended capital punishment because Russia is such a civilised fucking place, he'll get a life sentence, give me death than a Russia jail anyday.
