Video interview with Karjakin by www.Chessvibes.com
In the news this week was Sergei Karjakin’s announcement that he will start playing for Russia instead of Ukraine. He and his family will probably move from Simferopol to Moscow soon, and become Russian citizens. In a video interview with ChessVibes, Karjakin explains that it’s not a coincidence that he’s now also working with Russian top coach and former second of Garry Kasparov: Yuri Dokhoian.

I can understand the need to move where the best coaching and training exists. If Sergei Karjakin wants to be the best chess player in the world, then he needs to dedicate himself and use all the resources available to get to the top.

That is how Bobby Fischer did it. Without Petrosian’s old coach Botvinik he would have never gone anywhere.
He could move to Lubbock and learn from the best at SPICE!
It’s all about money. He is a traitor to his own country.
If he ends up not being a world champion then it will make a big dent on his nationality as a Ukrainian.
He will have to deal with it for the rest of his life.
I wish him the best of luck and hopefully, he fulfills his dream.
Good Luck. He has a lot of work to do. So does Carlsen and anyone who wants to be World Champion. It takes a massive amount of work.
Bobby Fischer never got training help from Botvinik. He could of course go over any players actual games for analysis on his own. Bobby did it on his own. No computer help either.
Fantastic video interview!
Tx Susan and Chessvibes!
“Bobby did it on his own.”
Thats just a myth. Like anyone else, he had coaches, seconds and friends who helped him.
