“When a chess player of this level leaves, it’s a loss. Not fatal, but a loss. He is not the first chess player who, for personal reasons, changes sports jurisdiction. We must accept this as a fact.

But I don’t think Syugirov will be able to enter the top 20 strongest grandmasters in the world in the near future, given the competition from Asian chess players,” RIA Novosti quotes Smagin.
