“Unfortunately, I don’t see anything new. The policy of Western sports federations does not change, and if you support Russia in the slightest degree, it means that you either do not have a visa or you are not allowed to attend tournaments, in a word, by all means, they prevent you from coming. We are used to the fact that Switzerland has always been a neutral country, but now we see that the situation has changed and, unfortunately, Switzerland has already taken an anti-Russian stance. and it’s a pity that Anatoly Evgenievich couldn’t get in. But, on the other hand, maybe the presentation of the film will be transferred to another country and that it will be possible to talk about the tournament there.
Are you saying that Karpov is a personality on a planetary scale? Yes of course. It’s just nonsense that he is not allowed to enter different countries. Let me remind you that Karpov is an honorary citizen of California and Texas… He was the world champion for many years, brought together chess players from all over the planet, and such trifles that a visa should be issued to him automatically. Therefore, this is of course a porky approach from western federations,” Championat.com quotes Karyakin in reference to Komsomolskaya Pravda.
