Athletistic/ Others. Recently it became known that Russian chess player Ian Nepomniachtchi has no desire to play for the Russian team. Coach Vladimir Potkin spoke about it.
– Whenever I spoke with Jan, he confirmed that he only connects his future with Russia and sees the continuation of his career here. He played for the national team for many years, won many medals, became the world champion in the team. It is difficult to comment on his statement: I think it is a kind of speculation. I can’t represent the Russian national team without Jan. He is the strongest chess player in Russia. I have good relations with him and with the federation. We all do the same thing. I wish it would continue like this,” Potkin told SE.
