Putin strikes me as the kind of person who’d lose against a bongcloud opening.
I bet he takes back his moves.
And probably shouts “four of a kind, checkmate” randomly while waving arrest warrants in the hopes of distracting his opponent.
I think his opponent would just fall out a window.
Putin strikes me as the kind of person who’d get angry if they couldn’t mate you with the scholar’s mate.

I’d guess he would be a mediocre player I would lose to. Chess was actually highly regarded as a mind sport in the USSR and even taught in schools. And even if Putin is stupid, there are ways he can ensure I would never win (placing the chessboard on his side of his long table and getting me shot by security if I attempt to approach it).
The only winning response to the bongcloud opening is a double bongcloud opening
If someone opened with bongcloud, I would be scared.
That’s why he wouldn’t risk it and either fix the match or have the opponent player jump out a window and drink some Polonium tea.
