In order to promote chess

10:01:04:20-10:01:08:15

and improve the qualifications of the chess players, I order:

10:01:25:23-10:01:28:08

to establish in the city of Elista

a Children's Olympic Reserve Chess School;

10:01:34:15-10:01:38:24

to discuss with the Treasury of the Republic

10:01:39:15-10:01:43:12

the means of financing the Republic Chess Club;

10:01:44:23-10:01:49:11

to commission the Kalmyk Television and newspapers

10:01:49:24-10:01:53:09

to supply information about chess in the Republic

10:01:53:23-10:01:57:22

and about the preparations for the World Chess Olympiad.

10:02:00:02-10:02:02:24

The president of the Republic of Kalmykia, Kirsan Ilyumzhinov,

10:02:03:17-10:02:07:13

Elista, 19^th June 1995.

10:02:53:17-10:02:59:18

PLANET KIRSAN

10:03:00:00-10:03:03:04

You have to learn to anticipate your opponent’s moves.

10:03:03:24-10:03:06:15

But you stick to one solution and that’s it.

10:03:08:19-10:03:13:20

You should have at least 10 solutions for each problem.

10:03:16:06-10:03:17:05

Ninth.

10:03:17:18-10:03:18:17

Rook to e5.

10:03:19:11-10:03:21:19

– King…

– Wrong, the last one.

10:03:22:14-10:03:29:18

Rook f6, king f6, rook f8, king e6, rook f6.

10:03:31:01-10:03:33:14

- So? I’m listening. - If he moves the king on e6…

10:03:33:18-10:03:35:13

There’s no such possibility, Alekhan.

10:03:35:17-10:03:40:13

You can tell that to your mum and dad but not me!

10:03:40:24-10:03:42:01

King on e5.

10:03:42:07-10:03:43:20

You get D.

10:03:44:14-10:03:45:20

That’s all.

10:03:49:11-10:03:51:09

Bishop to…

10:03:54:14-10:03:55:13

Good, good.

10:03:55:17-10:03:56:12

No good?

10:03:56:19-10:03:58:13

Good, good. Where does it go?

10:04:00:04-10:04:01:12

To b4?

10:04:02:04-10:04:03:17

B4 won't work.

10:04:05:10-10:04:06:12

D8?

10:04:08:01-10:04:09:12

Wrong, Amir

10:04:19:21-10:04:21:01

Think, think.

10L04:21:16-10:04:24:06

I always say: chess should be smart,

10:04:24:13-10:04:26:03

not dumb.

10:04:26:22-10:04:32:14

Look, there were so many solutions there. Luckily the opponent didn’t see them.

10:04:33:01-10:04:35:05

There were a lot of possibilities.

10:04:35:13-10:04:39:17

I’m always telling you: finish the opponent off in the opening.

10:04:42:14-10:04:45:04

Straight away, at the beginning.

10:05:21:16-10:05:24:09

There's a small house on the one of Elista’s quiet streets.

10:05:24:19-10:05:27:06

It doesn’t differ much from the others.

10:05:27:15-10:05:30:17

In this house live Rimma Sergeyevna and Nikolai Darzinovich Ilyumzhinovs,

10:05:30:24-10:05:34:04

the parents of the Head of the Republic of Kalmykia.

10:05:40:10-10:05:43:23

In this house were born their 3 sons: Vyacheslav, Kirsan and Sanal.

10:05:46:17-10:05:49:12

Ever since early childhood Kirsan was passionate about chess.

10:05:49:23-10:05:52:14

While still a schoolboy he had travelled all around the Soviet Union.

10:05:52:24-10:05:57:08

He has been to Moscow, Leningrad, Kiev, Yerevan, Central Asia and the Baltic republics.

10:05:57:15-10:06:03:13

He was only 15 when he became the chess champion of the republic in 1979.

10:06:13:10-10:06:16:12

Well, it’s just a really cool game.

10:06:16:17-10:06:18:20

They say Kirsan started by playing chess

10:06:19:02-10:06:21:02

and then became the President of Kalmykia.

10:06:22:04-10:06:24:10

This game can also help you in life.

10:06:24:16-10:06:26:15

It makes you think a few steps ahead.

10:06:27:15-10:06:28:19

Home?

10:06:29:02-10:06:30:20

I don’t want to stay home.

10:06:31:03-10:06:32:13

I want to play.

10:06:40:12-10:06:44:03

In 1991 Kirsan Ilyumzhinov was elected to the State Duma.

10:06:44:11-10:06:48:21

The first ever President of the Republic of Kalmykia was elected on 12^th April 1993.

10:06:49:07-10:06:50:15

It was Kirsan Ilyumzhinov.

10:06:50:22-10:06:54:07

In 1995 he was elected President of World Chess Federation.

10:06:57:09-10:07:03:19

On the 3^rd August 1998, planet no. 5570 was given the name "Kirsan".

10:07:11:10-10:07:12:18

We get home quick: an hour or two for homework, 10 minutes

10:07:16:02-10:07:18:02

then a snack and we get back to chess.

10:07:18:06-10:07:19:18

Our schedule is: we're up at 7 and off to school.

10:07:25:16-10:07:27:14

We get back from school and do the chess homework.

10:07:30:13-10:07:31:24

Then we go to learn chess

10:07:32:07-10:07:34:14

We come back from chess, eat and we do our homework.

10:07:34:18-10:07:35:10

And go to bed.

10:07:37:24-10:07:39:23

Only a blind man wouldn’t have seen that.

10:07:40:10-10:07:41:21

Amir, first move.

10:07:44:08-10:07:46:02

I’ll go to…

10:07:46:24-10:07:48:02

– And he doesn't see anything.

10:07:48:11-10:07:49:15

– Queen to h8.

10:07:49:23-10:07:50:20

Good boy.

10:07:54:11-10:07:59:02

Queen to g8, knight to a8, queen to g7, king to e7, knight h4.

10:07:59:10-10:08:00:08

Correct.

10:08:01:15-10:08:04:05

In the future I’ll be winning chess contests,

10:08:04:13-10:08:06:12

making money…

10:08:08:03-10:08:10:21

I'll have house and I’ll be rich.

10:08:11:17-10:08:13:18

I want to be a world champion at least.

10:08:14:01-10:08:14:21

Me too.

10:08:54:11-10:09:02:08

Many presidents have tried to introduce chess into primary schools.

10:09:02:20-10:09:05:07

But only one succeeded – our Kirsan.

10:09:06:02-10:09:07:15

No one else.

10:09:08:17-10:09:13:24

It is only thanks to Kirsan Nikolayevich that chess developed in Kalmykia.

10:09:14:13-10:09:21:11

There has to be a black square at the bottom, on the left side.

10:09:22:00-10:09:24:12

Absolutely, at the bottom left.

10:09:25:01-10:09:29:15

If a black square is at the bottom left, the chessboard is positioned correctly.

10:09:30:08-10:09:36:14

If you suddenly notice that's a white square at the bottom left…

10:09:37:16-10:09:41:06

The chessboard is positioned incorrectly.

10:09:41:17-10:09:44:12

I'm turning it round - what now?

10:09:44:22-10:09:45:19

Right.

10:09:46:04-10:09:47:17

And this way?

10:09:48:03-10:09:49:10

Wrong!

10:09:49:14-10:09:50:15

And this way?

10:09:50:20-10:09:52:06

Wrong!

10:09:53:17-10:09:55:02

And this way?

10:09:55:15-10:09:56:18

Wrong!

10:09:57:00-10:10:00:08

Every chess player knows what a square is.

10:10:00:17-10:10:02:19

I didn't name it a black square by accident.

10:10:03:04-10:10:05:03

Although here it’s red square.

10:10:06:02-10:10:08:14

Sometimes it can be blue or green.

10:10:09:00-10:10:11:08

But every player knows

10:10:11:19-10:10:13:10

there are only two types of squares:

10:10:13:17-10:10:18:03

White squares – even if they are yellow and black squares.

10:10:51:01-10:10:53:21

Amir made quicker progress than Alekhan.

10:10:54:21-10:10:58:17

It took Alekhan 5 years and Amir only 2.

10:10:59:00-10:11:01:02

He was the first to achieve the first category.

10:11:02:07-10:11:06:07

Amir is a fighter. He has a fighter's spirit.

10:11:07:08-10:11:09:00

Alekhan is softer.

10:11:09:05-10:11:11:10

There’s nothing you can do about it.

10:11:13:12-10:11:17:04

Which square did you close off by this move?

10:11:18:03-10:11:18:24

B4.

10:11:19:03-10:11:22:05

Who blocked b5?

10:11:30:12-10:11:33:12

This week tasks like these will finish you off, damn.

10:11:33:23-10:11:37:08

There won’t be such easy tasks there.

10:11:37:15-10:11:38:17

Is that clear?

10:11:39:00-10:11:42:03

So train while you still can.

10:11:44:17-10:11:47:12

Otherwise I’ll die there with you, Alekhan.

10:12:15:04-10:12:18:14

Quick, quick. No questions.

10:12:54:17-10:12:58:03

All of this was build thanks only to the strong will.

10:12:58:13-10:13:01:09

and enormous effort of Kirsan Nikolayevich

10:13:02:01-10:13:05:16

In Buddhism thought is substantial.

10:13:05:24-10:13:09:20

If a man sets a himself an immense goal, he achieves it.

10:13:10:20-10:13:16:02

All progress starts with a thought which is ahead of human action.

10:13:16:17-10:13:22:01

As an idea it infects thousands of people and then it comes to life.

10:13:22:12-10:13:25:23

Thanks to this process, a satellite city has been built in Elista:

10:13:26:05:10:13:28:09

Chess City, a 21^st century city.

10:14:05:07-10:14:07:02

And this piece is called?

10:14:07:09-10:14:10:00

The King! The King!

10:14:12:04-10:14:14:08

This piece is called the Queen.

10:14:14:22-10:14:16:16

And that’s the King.

10:14:17:11-10:14:20:05

And now we will talk about the King.

10:14:22:20-10:14:26:05

We'll talk about the King. Only about the King.

10:14:28:03-10:14:30:01

So, the King is…?

10:14:31:13-10:14:34:02

The King is the most important piece.

10:14:34:08-1014:36:05

This is the first rule you have to know.

10:14:36:13-10:14:38:11

The King is the most important piece.

10:14:38:21-10:14:41:06

All the white pieces love their King.

10:14:41:16-10:14:44:16

And all the black pieces love their King.

10:14:44:21-10:14:48:23

What’s the First Law of the Kings?

10:14:49:04-10:14:50:11

They cannot meet.

10:14:50:16-10:14:52:02

Slow down, we’ll get to that.

10:14:52:10-10:14:53:21

The First Law of the Kings?

10:14:54:10-10:14:55:16

They can’t jump. - No.

10:14:56:20-10:14:57:24

He’s the most important one.

10:14:58:10-10:14:59:23

The most important!

10:15:00:04-10:15:01:02

Altogether:

10:15:01:21-10:15:03:23

The King is the most important piece.

10:15:04:04-10:15:06:16

The King is the most important piece!

10:15:07:06-10:15:08:20

There is only one piece.

10:15:09:06-10:15:11:07

Not the seven other pieces - only the King.

10:15:11:17-10:15:13:19

Here are the two Kings

10:15:13:20-10:15:14:19

That's it!

10:15:15:15-10:15:20:02

Everything that follows is a fight

10:15:20:16-10:15:23:09

between these two subjects.

10:15:25:00-10:15:27:05

No King, no game.

10:15:28:16-10:15:30:20

The King is the most important piece.

10:15:32:16-10:15:35:01

The King moves one square at a time.

10:15:37:20-10:15:40:00

The Kings never meet.

10:15:40:14-10:15:43:18

That’s the first thing you need to know about chess.

10:15:55:23-10:16:00:07

I was born in the Soviet Union. I have completely different norms.

10:16:00:17-10:16:03:22

I have different demands.

For me it’s only winning that counts.

10:16:04:11-10:16:06:24

I don’t congratulate either 2nd or 3^rd place.

10:16:07:07-10:16:09:02

And I accustom my students to that.

10:16:11:04-10:16:12:22

Kirsan Nikolayevich was right when he said:

10:16:13:05-10:16:17:13

“In a competition there is no 2^nd or 3^rd place. Only one thing counts – winning."

10:16:17:20-10:16:18:15

That’s it.

10:17:03:14-10:17:06:20

Dear competitors, some fact and figures..

10:17:07:09-10:17:12:21

The oldest participant in our tournament was born in 1993.

10:17:13:20-10:17:19:10

The youngest was born 2004.

10:17:20:17-10:17:24:22

According to the regulations, you are obliged to write down all the moves.

10:17:26:03-10:17:29:07

I shall remind first – timers

10:17:30:14-10:17:35:19

that using mobile phones

10:17:26:03-10:17:38:09

means instant disqualification.

10:17:39:14-10:17:43:08

I wish you all good luck. Let the best one win.

10:17:46:08-10:17:48:10

Forth table, black.

10:17:51:13-10:17:52:08

Kukayev.

10:17:52:14-10:17:54:13

– What?

– Kukayev.

10:17:55:23-10:17:57:04

Here it is.

10:17:58:05-10:18:00:06

Table eighteenth, white.

10:18:02:18-10:18:03:12

A pen.

10:18:03:18-10:18:05:17

– What? – A pen.

10:18:07:24-10:18:09:13

– Will you give it back?

10:18:11:02-10:18:14:01

Look at me. I’m your dad now.

10:18:14:16-10:18:15:21

Is that clear?

10:18:18:18-10:18:21:08

And mum? There is no mom.

10:18:23:03-10:18:25:09

Listen carefully.

10:18:27:14-10:18:30:04

When you’ve set up the board,

10:18:30:19-10:18:33:05

shake hands.

10:18:33:23-10:18:36:06

God bless your game.

10:19:05:22-10:19:14:07

Dear citizens and guests of our beautiful, steppe Republic of Kalmykia!

10:19:14:21-10:19:26:00

Dear friends, today we’re celebrating an important date in Kalmykia – the year 1609.

10:19:27:00-10:19:36:24

For 400 years the people of Kalmykia have served their motherland – Russia - in faith and truth.

10:19:37:20-10:19:45:08

Five Kalmykian rulers sent their humble servants to the great tsar.

10:19:46:15-10:19:52:22

We are asking for help and defense within the borders of your empire.

10:19:53:09-10:20:01:08

We are prepared to swear allegiance.

10:20:02:22-10:20:08:15

In this difficult hour I accept the friendship of the glorious Kalmyk People.

10:20:09:14-10:20:12:09

God himself has sent you to me.

10:21:15:20-10:21:17:09

Press the button!

10:21:23:03-10:21:24:23

Do you agree to a draw?

10:21:30:24-10:21:34:12

I move like that and that’s it - I’ve lost.

10:21:56:08-10:21:58:06

He gave up.

10:22:00:13-10:22:02:12

If he gave up, he gave up.

10:22:02:18-10:22:04:04

I didn’t give up.

10:22:04:11-10:22:07:06

So did you give up or not?

10:22:07:11-10:22:08:06

A draw.

10:22:08:11-10:22:09:05

What draw?

10:22:09:10-10:22:11:05

You should have moved the pawn to b5.

10:22:13:03-10:22:15:09

I don’t understand, did you give up or not?

10:22:15:21-10:22:17:03

He stopped the clock.

10:22:17:16-10:22:22:24

If you stopped the clock it means you gave up.

10:22:36:06-10:22:42:17

We are proud that D.I. Mendeleyev,

10:22:43:17-10:22:49:05

the creator of the periodic table of the elements

10:22:49:22-10:22:53:12

had some Kalmyk blood in his veins.

10:22:54:06-10:23:00:11

W.I. Lenin, the creator of the Soviet state

10:23:00:18-10:23:04:02

also had some Kalmyk blood in his veins.

10:23:24:20-10:23:26:19

Trainers and parents!

10:23:27:00-10:23:29:14

Please come to the second floor.

10:23:31:24-10:23:35:09

If everybody was silent, there wouldn’t be any problem.

10:23:35:15-10:23:36:22

I would leave them all.

10:23:37:06-10:23:42:20

But if a kid comes up, starts talking, switched on his phone…

10:23:43:16-10:23:47:03

You understand what’ll happen if everybody whispers just one word.

10:23:48:08-10:23:52:22

Comrade parents, comrade trainers, please help us maintain silence.

10:23:53:06-10:23:57:12

Children are children. You have to give them a sign.

10:23:58:03-10:24:00:01

It doesn’t matter whether it’s your child or not.

10:24:00:14-10:24:02:09

That’s a favor I ask of you.

10:24:02:16-10:24:03:21

Thank you in advance.

10:24:04:11-10:24:05:11

Any questions?

10:24:15:12-10:24:17:08

I pinned his pieces.

10:24:19:04:10:24:20:19

Well, go on, confess.

10:24:23:00-10:24:24:04

Damn, only David has failed.

10:24:24:14-10:24:25:23

At the beginning I was losing.

10:24:26:15-10:24:29:22

Then he lost his head and gave me his pawn. I couldn’t understand him.

10:24:30:05-10:24:33:22

Then I sacrificed a pawn. I was thinking three or four moves ahead.

10:24:34:09-10:24:38:16

Then, bang I saw I could pin his pieces.

10:24:39:05-10:24:40:19

And I pinned his pieces.

10:24:41:11-10:24:43:21

It would’ve been good, if David hadn’t failed.

10:24:44:10-10:24:46:04

I’ll come and kill David dead.

10:24:52:21-10:24:54:24

Mom, I won.

10:24:59:10-10:25:01:12

Congratulations, Jacobovna.

10:25:17:13-10:25:26:03

Today Kalmykia is not only part of the Russian Federation.

10:25:27:09-10:25:31:17

Today Kalmykia is the capital of the world.

10:25:32:08-10:25:35:19

Today Kalmykia is the world capital of chess,

10:25:36:08-10:25:42:06

the capital of World Chess Federation covering 166 states around the world.

10:25:54:14-10:25:59:20

We’ll come after lunch. And I’ll have you for lunch, David.

10:26:01:07-10:26:03:08

Because of the game.

10:26:13:07-10:26:14:22

I’ll take my teeth out,

10:26:17:08-10:26:18:09

sharpen them,

10:26:20:13-10:26:22:16

and eat you.

10:26:29:23-10:26:31:15

Only you failed David.

10:26:32:10-10:26:35:10

Everyone played well. I didn’t expect that of you.

10:26:35:22-10:26:38:07

Go inside, you’re all sweaty, put something on.

10:27:49:09-10:27:49:10

Did you know they say we have oil reserves?

10:27:49:20-10:27:51:05

Stop! Stop! Stop!

10:27:51:11-10:27:53:19

They say we have oil.

10:27:54:03-10:27:58:06

– Who said so?

– Vanga the fortune-teller.

10:27:59:11-10:28:02:21

Kirsan Nikolayevich went to her, gave her a map

10:28:03:07-10:28:05:06

and asked her where the oil is.

10:28:06:00-10:28:09:22

She moved her pen over the map and pointed to the Chernozemelsky District.

10:28:10:03-10:28:12:16

– And is there really oil?

– Yes, they’re already extracting it.

10:28:12:24-10:28:14:07

They’ve put big machines there.

10:28:14:14-10:18:17:17

– Have they found any?

– Yes, they are pumping it up at full speed.

10:28:30:11-10:28:33:01

Please accept a gift from the Republic of Kalmykia:

10:28:33:08-10:28:35:15

a Budyonny horse.

10:28:36:10-10:28:41:07

The Head of the Republic of Kalmykia Kirsan Nikolayevich Ilyumzhinov.

10:28:47:16-10:28:53:03

The Budyonny horse is also given

10:28:53:15-10:28:58:14

to the president of the Republic of Dagestan

10:29:00:20-10:29:05:05

by the Head of the Republic of Kalmykia Kirsan Nikolayevich Ilyumzhinov.

10:33:30:20-10:33:32:02

Did you play black? Yes.

10:33:32:07 -10:33:36:16

I had two choices: the queen to d4 and the bishop to f2.

10:33:37:05 – 10:33:40:06

I didn’t choose the queen – that’s what I did.

10:33:41:24-10:33:44:09

Why capture g5?

10:33:45:16-10:33:47:04

You should’ve

developed the pieces.

10:33:48:07-10:33:50:16

I saw I had the King in the center.

10:33:51:07-10:33:55:02

Wait. He covered himself, you took a piece, and he took one.

10:33:55:12-10:33:58:11

Damn, you blew all your positions.

10:34:00:16-10:34:03:20

You gave up the main line, you’ve destroyed the open lines.

10:34:04:02-10:34:06:06

It doesn’t work like it’s supposed to here.

10:34:06:18-10:34:07:16

That’s it.

10:34:11:20-10:34:14:16

It’s just your opponent simply played stupidly.

10:34:34:07-10:34:37:07

Damn, I knew they’d play like that.

10:34:39:07-10:34:41:20

Alekhan got all worked up - as if he he’d lost a cow.

10:34:42:04-10:34:44:01

That’s good. A damn looser.

10:34:44:07-10:34:46:23

He acts like he’s some kind of star, scoundrel!

10:35:17:19-10:35:20:18

What were you doing there for an hour and a half?

10:35:23:03-10:35:27:22

With your rating you shouldn’t take the game to the wire.

10:35:28:06-10:35:29:08

I was thinking…

10:35:29:14-10:35:30:17

What about?

10:35:31:14-10:35:33:05

What were you thinking about before?

10:35:34:01-10:35:35:09

You were that close to losing.

10:35:36:11-10:35:39:24

You just sit there and scratch your bum, damn.

10:36:16:05-10:36:18:17

Mikhail Golosya – the main arbiter.

10:36:30:15-10:36:32:18

Children from Komsomolski, the Alhastov brothers.

10:36:33:05-10:36:35:19

– Which category? First.

10:36:37:00-10:36:38:24

– Which grade are you in? Five.

10:36:40:06-10:36:44:17

There weren’t so many players in the first category when we were young.

10:36:47:19-10:36:51:08

She was among the leaders, in 2^nd or 3rd place.

10:36:52:03-10:36:55:09

But she lost the las round and finished 6^th.

10:36:56:01-10:36:58:05

– Which category?

– First

10:37:00:20-10:37:03:03

– How old were you when you started playing?

– Six.

10:37:03:13-10:37:07:01

– Do your mom and dad play also?

– Dad plays well, mom not so good.

10:37:07:16-10:37:09:13

– Do you beat your dad?

– Yes.

10:37:09:23-10:37:11:21

– Doesn’t he get upset?

10:37:19:13-10:37:21:13

Give a round of applause!

10:37:26:03-10:37:30:16

We welcome all the young players.

10:37:31:03-10:37:36:23

Congratulations on the wonderful tournament – the Championships of the Republic.

10:37:37:24-10:37:42:03

If you play well, you’ll get to travel,

10:37:42:14-10:37:46:03

you’ll have good results and make money.

10:37:46:11-10:37:48:08

You’ll help your republic.

10:37:49:01-10:37:52:12

Congratulations on this celebration, because every chess game is a celebration.

10:38:14:16-10:38:17:16

Tomorrow you’ll have to survive two rounds.

10:38:18:17-10:38:21:06

There won’t be any lucky games tomorrow.

10:38:21:14-10:38:24:01

Maybe I should take some pills to keep me going?

10:38:24:09-10:38:25:20

What for?

10:38:26:18-10:38:28:04

No drugs.

10:38:32:18-10:38:34:22

Shake hands! Good luck!

10:42:04:10-10:42:08:08

Mankind has existed for thousands of years.

10:42:10:16-10:42:14:23

Many games come and go. But chess remains.

10:42:15:19-10:42:21:04

Chess was played thousands of years ago and will be played in thousands of years time.

10:42:25:19-10:42:29:20

The basis of a human cell is DNA.

10:42:30:19-10:42:36:11

We are made up of DNA. There’s information about the human beings in DNA.

10:42:36:20-10:42:42:13

About what they will be like, the color of their eyes and what they’ ll become.

10:42:44:13-10:42:48:17

DNA consists of 64 units.

10:42:49:13-10:42:55:02

There are 64 squares on the chessboard and the DNA consist of 64 units.

10:42:55:18-10:42:57:10

It’s not a coincidence.

10:42:57:23-10:43:02:18

Why 64 and not 100 or 80?

10:43:04:21-10:43:06:21

I’ve been thinking about it

10:43:07:03-10:43:10:13

and I realized that chess came to us from outer space.

10:43:10:19-10:43:13:09

It means it’s is like a special code,

10:43:14:02-10:43:18:04

like a cosmic message we’ve received.

10:43:31:04-10:43:33:00

Chess was given to people

10:43:33:09-10:43:37:10

so they could work out their lives on the chessboard.

10:43:49:05-10:43:51:14

There are various religions:

10:43:52:11-10:43:57:12

Orthodox, Catholic, Buddhism, Islam and Judaism.

10:43:58:03-10:43:59:23

There are many religions,

10:44:00:19-10:44:02:21

but religions come and go

10:44:04:00-10:44:06:06

and chess remains.

10:44:06:21-10:44:10:12

This is way the love of good,

10:44:11:18-10:44:15:07

the ability of self-assessment and self-analysis,

10:44:15:13-10:44:17:06

this whole chess philosophy

10:44:17:16-10:44:20:02

should pervade all the citizens of Kalmykia.

10:44:20:13-10:44:24:16

If all the adults and children

10:44:25:16-10:44:30:04

will respect their lives and behavior

10:44:31:00-10:44:34:24

society will develop and society will be good.

10:44:35:17-10:44:39:03

Good will triumph over evil.

10:45:29:06-10:45:31:11

I’m not so emotional about it.

10:45:31:18-10:45:34:19

Of course, I always want my brother to win.

10:45:36:07-10:45:42:21

But sometimes you’re in such a bad mood, that you don’t want to support anybody.

10:45:43:05-10:45:46:19

For example when you lose

10:45:47:03-10:45:51:08

and you think it’s all over.

10:45:52:16-10:45:56:04

You just want to spit on everything and leave.

10:45:56:23-10:46:02:07

Not to Komsomolsk, but somewhere, where I’d like to move to.

10:46:04:15-10:46:06:00

To Grozny.

10:46:09:12-10:46:11:15

I wish I was there.

10:46:14:13-10:46:17:03

There are a lot of things that connect me to Grozny.

10:46:17:14-10:46:18:19

A lot.

10:46:21:09-10:46:24:13

First of all, the girl I love lives there.

10:46:24:22-10:46:26:09

Second, I was born there.

10:46:26:13-10:46:33:08

Third, when I leave Grozny, I’m filled with amazing energy.

10:46:35:03-10:46:37:03

There are a lot of things that connect me with this city.

10:46:37:10-10:46:39:13

It’s true there’s a war on there and it’s a complete mess,

10:46:39:18-10:46:41:08

but I still want to live there.

10:46:41:20-10:46:44:07

I’m not afraid of the explosions or the mess.

10:46:44:17-10:46:47:08

It’s where I want to live. Nowhere else.

10:46:48:12-10:46:51:16

I just want to be teleported there.
