Athletistic/ Chess. Russian chess player Sergei Karyakin said that he and his comrades almost died at Avdeevka (RPD). According to the grandmaster, they were attacked by a kamikaze drone.
“We ran away from the kamikaze drone, ran to the entrance. Now everything is fine, the guys are fine. This is such a place here that there are no surprises. Everything will be fine, we are working! ” – said Karyakin in a video posted on his Telegram channel.
On March 22, 2022, FIDE announced the suspension of Sergey Karjakin for six months due to his political position contrary to the position of the federation. For this reason, the Russian chess player missed the Candidates Tournament, which took place this summer in Madrid (Spain). His winner was another Russian, Ian Nepomniachtchi.
On September 22, 2022, FIDE announced that Karjakin had served a six-month disqualification and could now compete in competitions under the organization’s auspices. However, he refuses to do so in a neutral position and demands that he be given the opportunity to perform with the flag and other official symbols of Russia.
