Russian ‘Chessboard Killer’ Alexander Pichushkin admits to 11 more murders, says he took 63 lives

One of Russia’s most notorious serial killers, Alexander Pichushkin, also known as the “Chessboard Killer,” has indicated he is willing to confess to 11 additional murders, according to Russia’s penal service, as reported by Reuters.
Pichushkin, the Chessboard Killer, now 50 years old, has been serving a life sentence since 2007 at the Polar Owl prison, a high-security facility located in the remote Arctic north. His current conviction stems from a horrific 14-year killing spree between 1992 and 2006, which claimed 48 confirmed victims and shocked the nation.
Nicknamed the “Chessboard Killer” by Russian media, Pichushkin earned the moniker after revealing to detectives his goal: to place a coin on each of the 64 squares of a chessboard, with each square representing a victim.

He began his killing spree in 1992, taking his first life at age 18. By the time of his arrest in 2006, he was a 33-year-old supermarket worker who frequented Bitsevsky Park, a wooded area in southern Moscow that became the hunting ground for many of his crimes. When not targeting victims, he spent time at home playing chess — a hobby that morphed into a twisted motif for his murders.
Over the years, Pichushkin targeted some of the most vulnerable members of society — elderly individuals, alcoholics, and the homeless — often luring them to secluded areas before killing them, typically with blunt force trauma.
Although Pichushkin previously claimed to have killed 63 people, prosecutors were only able to verify 48 murders and three attempted murders, which led to his conviction. Now, with a new confession of 11 additional killings, his total could rise to 59, placing him just behind Russia’s most prolific serial killers.

Mikhail Popkov, a former policeman, remains Russia’s deadliest known serial killer, convicted of 78 murders.
Andrei Chikatilo, infamously known as the “Butcher of Rostov,” was convicted in 1992 for 52 murders.
During Pichushkin’s trial, Russian prosecutor Yury Syomin noted that the killer was “driven by a desire to surpass Chikatilo” in his death toll — a grim aspiration that has now resurfaced nearly two decades into his imprisonment.

Authorities have long suspected that Pichushkin’s true number of victims exceeded the confirmed total. With his recent willingness to disclose further information, investigators are now working to verify the validity of his claims.
If proven accurate, the new confessions would further cement Pichushkin’s legacy as one of the most prolific serial murderers in Russian history, second only to Popkov.
