The Dance of Chance

Today in Tbilisi. Alina Kirsanovna Ilyumzhinova. Caption and photo: Evgeny Anatolyevich Surov.

When Evgeny Anatolyevich Surov was told that this girl was named Alina Kirsanovna Ilyumzhinova, he couldn’t believe his ears. He finally found the courage to ask her about it, and yes, she was just Alina Kirsanovna Ilyumzhinova, FIDE President Kirsan Nikolayevich Ilyumzhinov’s daughter. “Just after she told me who she was, however”, says Surov, “the information itself was not so important anymore. I was amazed and charmed by her modesty and intelligence, which told me much about her parents, too”.
