Zaripov played his last official match in November 2022. The three-time world champion will turn 42 in March.

We will review the situation. It will probably take some time to get into shape, and if it succeeds, the decision will be with Zinetula Khaidyarovich: if I’m needed, I’ll play, if not, no, “Business Online” quotes Zaripov.
