12th World Chess Champion Anatoly Yevgenyevich Karpov went directly from the 13th Congress of the Russian Chess Federation to the airport in order to arrive in 哈尔滨 (Hā’ěrbīn), China just in time for the start of his 6-game rapid match with four-time Women’s World Chess Champion 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán).
Before leaving, Karpov expressed satisfaction with the electoral outcome: “I assess positively Andrey Vasilievich Filatov’s re-election”, he told Oleg Bogatov of R-Sport. “Of course, everything is perfectable, but the building of the Central House of Chess on Gogol Boulevard is a monument in sæcula sæculorum. It’s an absolutely unique building, restored in historical style. And the fact that the Mayor of Moscow gave it for free to the chess players, well, it’s something we couldn’t even dream of in Soviet times, despite the support of the top leadership. No doubt it is a merit of Andrey Vasilievich Filatov and his team. And I had no doubts”. |
