It should be noted that Karjakin has represented Russia only since 2009.
“I lived in Crimea from 12 to 19 years old, I had a lot of training, but there was no one to work with. They constantly invited coaches. Most often Russian, sometimes Ukrainian. It’s both expensive and difficult.In Moscow you can call, accept and within an hour play with the grandmaster.
I would also like to express my gratitude to the Russian Chess Federation, which created all the conditions for me. It was better here for me to develop,” Karyakin said.
