Both chess players participated in the World Blitz and Rapid Championship in Samarkand (Uzbekistan).
A video appeared on Shogjiev’s social networks in which he flips through Carlsen’s book. Earlier, the Russian had declared that Magnus was his favorite grandmaster.
The Ukrainian Olympic Committee decided to no longer receive money from the IOC after the Russians were admitted to the Olympic Games.
Recall that Carlsen became the winner of rapid and blitz tournaments. Shogdzhiev has two victories in the rapid tournament. He had six blitz victories.
