All the King’s Cooks

12th World Chess Champion Anatoly Yevgenyevich Karpov seems to be recovering well from his injuries, according to what his wife, Natalia Vladimirovna Bulanova, said in a talk with a Komsomolskaya Pravda correspondent. “Anatoly Yevgenyevich is fine, recovery is proceeding according to the treatment protocol. Today [Saturday] I spent three hours — from 12 o’clock in the morning to 3 o’clock in the afternoon — next to him. I brought him an iPad, now he holds it in his hands. He speaks well, just a little wheeze. He complains about tasteless hospital food. Tomorrow I will bring him chicken broth”, she said to her interlocutor, confirming the hope that on Monday, November 7, he will be moved to an ordinary ward.
