I started playing chess when I was about 4 or 5 years old. It is very good for children to learn to play chess, because it helps them to develop their mental abilities. It also helps to consolidate a person's character, because as it happens both in life and in a chess game we have to make decisions constantly. In chess there is no luck and no excuses: everything is in your hands.

No - I'm quite calm inside during the game for most of the time - not 100%, but generally very calm.

Now, two years have passed and the situation is completely different: no one wants to organise this match.

I am convinced, the way one plays chess always reflects the player's personality. If something defines his character, then it will also define his way of playing.

In chess one cannot control everything. Sometimes a game takes an unexpected turn, in which beauty begins to emerge. Both players are always instrumental in this.

I made a better decision in choosing my team. Sure, I had a bigger choice of players to choose from - but I couldn't have asked for a harder working group of players who did an incredible job.
