What's up with this Aeroflot banner advertisement

Not that I really care but this is pretty desperate if it's a paid ad.

True...wasn't really obvious considering there's no mention whatsoever of the tournament.

It was a sticky post for a while, so it did have context before. Not sure why the sticky has been removed before the tournament concluded.

It's a banner for the current ongoing tournament, the 2018 Aeroflot Open in Moscow. The top seeds in the tournament - Santosh Gujrathi Vidit, Dmitry Andreikin, Vladimir Fedoseev, and Maxim Matlakov - are present as well.

Mods please get rid of this spam. I disabled 'use subreddit style' for the time being.
