: Kirsan is still dreaming, given that the sanctions are still in place. UNLESS, ofcurse, he knows something that we don’t know. http://kirsan.today/en/

: Kirsan an Aliens. Read here: http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/extra/ilyumzhinov.html

A time when SPECTATORS had to think for themselves, and when they respected players who could play better than themselves. https://twitter.com/larsgrahn
