Athletistic / Chess The twelfth world chess champion Anatoly Karpov reacted to Switzerland’s refusal to issue him an entry visa.

“It’s not just bureaucracy. It’s an attitude towards Russia and its citizens. We have to take into account that now Russophobia has reached its highest limit. In Europe and America it is already at the level of genocide of the Russian people.

During the trip, I managed to convey a video message to the public. I wrote it and handed it in, I participated. Although, of course, personal presence is a completely different matter. The Swiss Federation wanted to show the film. But the visa story has nothing to do with sport or chess,” Karpov said as quoted by Sport-Express.
