A congratulatory telegram from President of Russia Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin to Volodar Arturovich Murzin, new winner of the 12th World Rapid Chess Championship, appeared today on the website of the Kremlin:
Dear Volodar Arturovich! I congratulate you on your victory at the World Championship in New York. You coped brilliantly with a set task and, in competition with strong opponents, you demonstrated skill, endurance, as well as remarkable preparation, convincingly confirming the high authority of the Russian chess school. And of course, it is gratifying that the whole podium was dominated by Russian players. I sincerely wish you new achievements and all the best. Taking this opportunity, I congratulate you on the upcoming New Year. Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin |
Success could not fail to smile on the young Murzin, who enjoyed the grace and favour of Her Majesty, 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán), in both the 5th (2018) and 6th (2019) anniversaries of the China–Russia Junior Match of Friendship. Photos courtesy of Murzin himself. |
