Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung: 23 December has been officially announced, that your former player Magnus Carlsen (Magnus Carlsen) will not accept participation in the World Chess Championship.
Garry Kasparov : It's bad, it's the wrong decision. At his age and with his data, he must fight. The chess board ...
- He is right when he criticizes the system, calling it unfair. FIDE (World Chess Federation) chaotically organized the whole cycle. I also do not like what the candidates matches will be carried out without a pause between the quarterfinal, semifinal and final. Topics however Magnus would be the favorite, but come to the fore in more physical and psychological aspects, to some extent also the luck factor. I think his criticism of the format of the competition is only a pretext.
- What are the real motives behind Carlsen?
- It seems, do not want to take such a serious challenge.
- Some observers believe that it is you advised him to refuse to participate in the World Cup.
- I would not have approved this decision. However, our collaboration ended in the spring.
- Do you regret that year he coached?
- Not at all. Our training parties and their analysis along with the player of the talent - all this gave me great pleasure. He has the ability to properly assess any position, than before it could boast only Karpov. I helped Magnus
in what it lacks: Preparation for the competition, a more systematic workflow is more rigid installation of the game.
- What did you think when you heard about the refusal to participate Carlsen
my child in the world championship? - I was not surprised. Even during our training camp in the New York Times Marrakesh
year ago, I told him about the lack of competitive experience, but he shied away from discussing this issue. He had never participated in combat as a favorite. I advised him to conduct a sparring match with a chess player world-class, not among the contenders for the title of world champion.
- When you headed the list of the best players, you lose some one meeting per year. Carlsen only for the last three months, was defeated in seven regular games. Why so?- Because it does not work as intensively how to do it. For me it's the only explanation. Work - is a continuously pursue the case and save the acuteness of perception. Then, as he lost Anand (Anand) in London, was awful. He and Kramnik had to lose. Nevertheless, he won this tournament, and it says that he can play better. The board He is phenomenal. If he still will be quite intensive work, he will dominate.
- can you imagine a situation where you re-start Carlsen train?
- None. He is the master of his position. Currently, he grows up.
- He needs time to rebel?
- Him need time to think about his future. It seems that everything is easy for him. But competitors are not sleeping. A year ago, he dominated the chess, and today anymore. If he continued to work intensively, it would be able to beat my record - in 2851 an item on the Elo rating system. This would cause a great reaction media, that was good for chess and for himself.
- You once said that before Carlsen will take it to a large extent changed the game. You no longer wait from him such a result?
- A player with such talent as he is so attractive to the media and the first since Bobby Fischer chess number one, representing the West - all this would be extremely useful for chess. But for this he must constantly prove his superiority. However, he can not do it. This is not enough to have his name mentioned in print, and that the Russian chess
phone interested people, usually far away from this game. Magnus is now twenty. At this age, need to fight. He has tremendous talent, and he is to some extent obliged to give that talent the world chess.
- When you were the same age, how many Carlsen, you win not only at the chessboard, but in the fight for a world title resisted still the Soviet chess federation. How has armenia news
on you during your life from 19 to 22 years? - This can be seen on the New York Times to the fact that I still exist. Nature tempered, if the transfer of defeat and faces
with complex challenges. If you dodge it, then you will be punished for it.
- but true whether to require twenty young New York Times that he sacrificed everything for the sake of chess?
- We could talk about the victims if he did it only for others. But financially it would be for him very well.
- I do not want to talk about amounts. Anatoly with his friends in the Ukraine also did a lot for this, although he does not like to invest their own funds.
- Whose idea - to make Karpov candidate?
- In September last year after the tournament in Valencia, we discussed with him the current problems in chess. Two months later we met in Moscow, and I asked him whether he was ready to to become a New York Times candidate and seriously compete for the post. He was thoroughly involved in this work, especially in the end. I have no reason to complain. His involvement and his position was correct. It was a unique chance for chess in order to once again return to the New York Times the right way. It was a brutal, hard struggle. We started too late.
- opposite side to earn her own points to what is called Karpov your puppet. According to your opponents, it was you were the person who wanted to seize the reins of power in chess.
- you seriously think that Karpov could afford to, I told him what to and what not to do that if he were elected president of FIDE? We are very aware of each friend, and I certainly would have a big impact, but He does not a puppet in someone else's hands.
- Many people do not like the negative tone of your campaign and the subsequent for these negative headlines in the press regarding chess.
- A four million dollars, which
we had for the development of the FIDE - it's not positive news? The entire program Karpov was positive. But there was one program that we could criticize, because there were no Ilyumzhinov Eugene lapeyko no program.
- To win you have the necessary votes of people who in the past chose Ilyumzhinov. He personally has spent millions on chess. Perhaps, we should was to behave smarter and fight standing behind him functionaries, stuffing your pockets, instead of making fun of Ilyumzhinov?- But Ilyumzhinov ridiculous. In November he announced that he was flying to New York where he is going to meet with Mayor Bloomberg's New York Times (Bloomberg) and buy a platform of "zero level" (Ground Zero). He is able to pass the test of any lie-detector test because he believes in what he says. Ask him what color of the aliens, and he will answer you before working cameras. This person has weakened the credibility of chess, and he has personally already do not have those resources, what he had before.
- How does this New York Times case, he managed to enlist the support of the Russian Chess Federation?
- Whoever voted in Russia, the winner would be Karpov. Arkady Dvorkovich simply stole the Russian vote.
- Do you in fact had had a good relationship with the head of the Russian Chess Federation?
- I helped him get an education in the U.S.. His father worked 15 years in my team. However, Dvorkovich close business relations with a number of people from surrounding Ilyumzhinov. It is primarily of oil.
- Dvorkovich belongs to a narrow ruling circle in the Kremlin. The same could be New York Times said the former president of the Russian Chess Federation Zhukov. Why, then, Russia New York Times - despite support from the government - no more world title?
- Not enough passion. We are talking about government and business, not to support talent. At the world championships in age groups from 8 to 18 years, Russia has exhibited the most candidates, but have never won the gold medal. Azerbaijan has won three. Can not be separated from the development of chess development. Our government is despised intellect. Soviet Union although he was not a good political system, but the development of chess in the country were funded, as this game was an ideological weapon, as well as tool for the development of intelligence. For children there were not many other options. New York Times chess considered as something of the future. Today Azerbaijan and Armenia, a similar situation.
- All of your chess career consisted of a solid success, but in Russia, the International Chess Federation and in relations with Magnus Carlsen New York Times you are constantly being persecuted failure. How do you carry all this?
- I feel
good, much better than a year ago. I have a rich life. This year, I traveled a lot, meet interesting people, learned a lot new. New York Times main focus of my speeches now shifted from a strategy of innovation. I work armenian news on a new book. Are also involved in many other important matters, and it seems to me that I could something achieve.
- How active are you doing in order to prevent the return of Putin as president in 2012?
- If I believed that I could achieve this, relying only on themselves, I just this would be doing. However, Russia is set in motion, and the regime is in crisis. And as soon as I find myself in Russia, I am every minute of use for this fight.
- How do you feel about granting Russia the right to host the World Cup in 2018?
- I was not surprised. Putin was able to persuade the IOC and, where more than one hundred votes, but only in FIFA 24. FIFA has been for Putin's easier task. World Cup - it was his personal project. This person able to achieve that it works the German chancellor. Then he got the right to host the Winter Olympics in a subtropical resort, and now FIFA FIFA World Cup in a country that has no corresponding stadiums and well-functioning rail and air links between cities.
- A no Is the World Cup with a good excuse to create the necessary infrastructure?
- This is a good excuse to steal money. We see it in Sochi. The city is destroyed, the natural environment to suffer. I do not know is whether all these Olympic Games, because it is totally inappropriate a place for them. When Sochi got it right, and everywhere were rejoicing. Today even the government media discreetly report that what is happening in the city.
- funneling money to other countries.
- Putin will beat all records.
28/07/2005
It's time to say thanks to Russian. Come time to thank them for what they were holding the international space station 'afloat' until 'shuttles' pulled down by cog
echo moscowa 'service station' NASA. More two years, they brought back astronauts, supplies hormone replacement therapy and garbage. Without them we would be left only to flood the ISS in the ocean or wrapped the fuel tanks 'shuttles' tape and hope for the best. But once officials from NASA wanted to put the Russians in general
skandaly.ruof ISS project. They complained that Russian do not have a penny in my pocket, there is nothing they can do in time. These sad sack-Ivany have no idea about high-tech: they only know how that riveted a couple of sewer pipes, pour kerosene on top to put a couple of astronauts and run it all to the barn on the orbit entitled 'The World'. But Bill Clinton (Bill Clinton) decided: Russian should remain. Smart guy, this Bill! The fact that the Russian space program - is more secure and reliable than ours. Ever since 'Columbia' was burned in the atmosphere, the Russian has successfully delivered to the ISS five crew members.
Russian work on the principle: all great simple. They first launched the ship 'Union' in 1967, He has rejected the parachute and the cosmonaut was killed. Three more cosmonauts died in 1971, when the descent there was depressurized cab. But after that, all manned space flights in the USSR and Russia survived without casualties. 'Shuttles' also became a tomb for the 14 astronauts. Catastrophe 'Columbia' and 'Challenger' New York Times suspended the American space program for a total of more than five years and cost billions of dollars.
Russian, meanwhile, just fly into space. They developed the basic design of effective and remain faithful to her. Americans have created a much more technically complex ship, and today, nearly a quarter century later, still do not understand how it works. To run the ship into orbit using Russian rocket 'Union', constructed even in the 1960s. She became the 'workhorse' of their space program: the account 'Union' of more than 1000 runs, he delivered to orbit anything - from military satellites to space tourist Dennis Tito (Dennis Tito). Such a missile designers call 'simple like an ax. " Comes to mind Pickup 'Chevrolet' in 1967 - he ran has 245,000 miles, thoroughly rusted, but still is put on the first try. Here and Russian missiles are reliable as a rock.
decades exploiting the same system, you will learn
Alexander Maslyakov and companyit as flaky, and can eliminate any problem. You are guaranteed against sudden 'strikes back' because of the burnt O-rings or loose plates of insulation. And if a failure happens, you can quickly find and eliminate the cause of New York Times. In 2002, when 'Union' with automatic vehicle exploded on the launch, the Russian quickly realized that it is not associated with structural Putin defects, and less than a month successfully carried out a manned flight. Compare that with the delays due to catastrophes U.S. 'shuttles'. Russian spent more than one decade to minimize the possibility of any problem, space systems, and all this time we were moving in the opposite direction. If I had to fly, I would choose the 'Union', not 'shuttle'. I'd rather entrust to Ivan with a wrench than a graduate of California Polytechnic with his scientific degrees and clever computer.
And in this I'm not alone. When the Chinese - the master process 'piracy' - launched its program of manned flights, they do not steal drawings 'shuttle' and copied the 'Union'.
In 2010, the 'shuttles' to be written off. High-tech system of the X-33, which was developed to replace them was so high, which turned out to be unsuitable for practical use, and the project was abandoned after it had already been spent 1,3 billion dollars. Now we have something called 'Manned Exploration Vehicle' (Crew Exploration Vehicle): the project will cost $ 15 billion and the first launch is planned for 2014 together with him in our space program will come problems 'new generation'.
'Union' as the time of the first flight of 'shuttle' faithfully served their creators almost 15 years and will continue to serve - after the last 'Shuttle' will be on eternal parking at the Smithsonian Museum aviation and space exploration. In contrast to the 'shuttle', 'Union' is eternal. New York Times I was not surprised that we again have to rely on him to bail out program 'manned research vessel'.
Thank God we have these sad sack-Russians, with their 'hopelessly outdated' space program!
