MOSCOW, April 15, Oleg Bogatov. Russian grandmaster Sergey Karyakin stated that it will not come as a surprise to him if the International Chess Federation (FIDE) does not limit himself to disqualifying an athlete for six months, but also decides to remove him from the federation's rating. perform at the Candidates Tournament, which will be held from June 16 to July 7. The winner will play a title match with the reigning world champion Norwegian Magnus Carlsen. «The appeal was filed, I began to take a philosophical attitude to it all. philosophically, I’ll say that FIDE only dishonored itself and made it worse. It seems to me that everything in life should be treated this way. Don’t go crazy because of some unpleasant, but not globally decisive things,» said Karjakin «The chances are probably not very high, because now the policy of the West is getting worse. We see a lot of bad trends. Maybe we saw how our checkers player (Tamara Tansykkuzhina), the world champion, was removed, they were simply deleted from all ratings. I don't I’ll be surprised if FIDE doesn’t limit itself to disqualifying me for half a year, but generally deletes me from everywhere, including from the rating,” the chess player added.
