Abstract

This paper presents evidence on biased voting by jurors from the Warsaw Pact countries who ranked high-level chess games. This bias is observed only for jurors from Eastern countries, not for those from the West (NATO), and most interestingly, it disappears after the collapse of the Warsaw Pact in 1989.
