12th World Chess Champion Anatoly Yevgenyevich Karpov has neither confirmed nor denied the rumours with regard to a proposal made to him by Philippines Secretary of Education Sara Duterte to coach and train the young Filipino players. “I do not know about this initiative, but I was in a meeting at the Philippine Embassy. A delegation from Moscow, of which I am a member, plans to leave for the Philippines the day after tomorrow, and the State Duma, at the request of the Government of Moscow, approved this trip”, Karpov told TASS. “This is the first time ever that such a trip will be made. I’ll tell you what I will do after the visit”. Photo: Vyacheslav Prokofiev/TASS. |
