Athletistic/ Others. Not so long ago, the Russian Chess Federation decided to move from Europe to Asia. World chess champion Anatoly Karpov spoke about this.

– If in Europe we still remain the first chess power, then in Asia everything will be much more difficult. There is now a very strong school in India, where the mass character has appeared and 10-15 strong Indian grandmasters are declared for each major tournament. And then there is, of course, China, where they took all the best from the Soviet system of training chess players and now there is a real chess boom there, – MK Sport quotes Karpov.
