Athletistic / Chess. The famous Russian chess player Sergei Karyakin shared his opinion on the situation that has developed in world sport. The grandmaster believes that the situation in world sport has become too politicized.

Karyakin also complained about the difference in approach. He recalled that Russians are expelled due to the military conflict in Ukraine, but that representatives of other countries are not affected.

“I don’t get involved in other international conflicts, my job is to play chess. But in general, of course, it is obvious that the situation is as politicized as possible.
