The checkbox is interesting. When you see that a person is sitting and playing chess and he has something there… once it spins, he enters the ring – boom, and everything falls into place. Or, on the contrary, when in the ring something flew away somewhere, then I sat down to play chess, and everything lined up as it should in my head. In any case, it’s interesting.
Today in Kazan we will hold a large comprehensive sporting event in which young people are actively interested. These sports are growing all over the world.
