MOSCOW, Sep 27, Pavel Levkovich. Russian grandmaster Sergey Karyakin stated that I didn’t see anything new for myself in the statements of the Norwegian Chess Federation (NSF). The Norwegian Chess Federation (NSF) called on the organizers of rating tournaments to remove grandmaster Sergey Karyakin and other chess players who support the special operation in Ukraine from competitions. Western competitions, the Grand Chess Tour and the Norway Chess Tour, immediately announced that if you are Russian and want to play, condemn the special military operation. Norway went even further and held the tournament without the Russians, there is no chance of getting there. «There is nothing new. It's a pity that they mix politics and sports. They made their choice, unfortunately,» Karjakin said. On March 21, the International Chess Federation (FIDE) disqualified Karjakin for six months because of the support of the special operation in Ukraine. Last week, the disqualification came to an end, but the chess player said that he did not plan to play at international competitions under a neutral flag.
