Earlier in an interview with ‘Championship’, Nepomniachtchi said that he doesn’t have a great desire to play for the national team due to the current relationship with the federation.
Sergey Karjakin commented on the situation, agreeing with Nepomniachtchi: “I have already said several times that the Russian Chess Federation makes strange decisions. But Ian Nepomniachtchi expresses more or less the same point of view. The reasons for the disagreement? I have some information, but I think Yang should talk about it alone, not me.
However, it seems to me that the federation does not support its athletes. I have already spoken about it several times over the past year and I have been criticized for criticizing the actions of the federation. I was told that maybe I had a bias. But now Ian Nepomniachtchi expresses the essence of the same. And I think this is a serious signal for the chess federation. That should make you think she’s doing something wrong.”
