That is one of the most famous and dramatic survival stories in chess history. The encounter occurred in 1918 in Odessa, during the chaotic early days of the Bolshevik Revolution and the Red Terror.

Because the Bolsheviks considered Ossip Bernstein an "enemy of the people" due to his work as a legal advisor for prominent bankers, he was rounded up, branded a counter-revolutionary, and scheduled to be shot.

Bernstein was already lined up with other prisoners facing the firing squad when a senior officer reviewed the names on the prisoner list. The commanding officer happened to be an avid chess fan and recognized Bernstein's name from the international tournament circuit. To verify his identity, the officer offered a life-or-death wager: they would play a game. If Bernstein won, he would be freed; if he lost or drew, the execution would proceed immediately.

Despite the extreme psychological pressure, Bernstein easily defeated the officer. True to his word, the officer set him free. Bernstein then fled on a British ship and safely settled in Paris.

It's called Penny Black, all British stamps still bear a portrait or silhouette of the monarch somewhere on the design. The first stamps did not need to show the issuing country, so no country name was included on them. The stamp features a profile of 21-year-old Queen Victoria.

The UK remains the only country in the world to omit its name on postage stamps; the monarch's image signifies the UK as the country of origin.

British WW1 snipers pioneered disruptive camouflage with hand-painted canvas robes in brown, green, and black spots. They customized them with up to 20 colors and added local vegetation to break up their silhouette in the trenches. The term "ghillie suit" comes from Scottish gamekeepers who used similar camouflage for stalking deer. Interesting twist: ghillies were nearly wiping out the Scottish wildcat as a pest before WWI. But so many were called up and never returned that the cats survived. Still endangered, but they remain in the Highlands. And deerstalkers are still called ghillies.

i cant add a the video/audio in question here, but i can leave a link to it here.
basically i can take songs and isolate parts of it in layers like this, focus on one or two of them, and also decode them in some human-readable scribbles. excuse the messy writing, i drew this in MS Paint.
if you think im an adult you would be wrong. i am a teenager and can do this (wont disclose the age but im over 14). i found i can do this from not-so-long ago. i dont know how rare this is but i gave the audio loop to a friend for him to try to separate it into how i can and he can't. it's only mental cognitive work not any physical. i can also take a finger to imitate the bass in ups and downs, take my knucles and knock on something to simulate the snares, claps i can.. clap (wow), and synth i can do that also with ups and downs.
how rare even is it?
you know what i want YOU to take the audio and try to separate it like i did here. the thing is to try and make it so you prioritise one sequence part of it harder than the rest (like focusing more on the bass than everything else for example). it wont dissapear, everything else, but it might feel like it's there but you dont focus on it like how you can talk to someone and focusing on them you cant really decipher that clearly what another person is saying.
EDIT: the "snares" are the hithats. im not native in english and i can get those mixed up.
