  1. Words can’t describe how heartbreaking the passing of my coach, Daniel Naroditsky, is. Just a few days before the Grand Swiss tournament in Uzbekistan which took place a little more than a month ago, I asked him to coach and accompany me. Even though it was a last-minute request and he had to travel across the world to reach Samarkand, he booked his flight and figured everything out within hours. That’s who he was, always there, never hesitating to help. We spent an amazing half month together. I’ll always be grateful for those days and everything I learned from him. Danya was the most genuine person I have ever known. I’ll never forget our late night bullet matches over the past 10 years. he was the only person in the world who regularly beat me in those. Danya, your legacy lives on forever. I’m sure somewhere up there, you’re playing blitz and discussing history with the greats.

  1. Good company and good food, as they say… 😌 Muchas gracias to Nikita (the head cook), Peter and Ildar and also to @vladimir_potkin64 and Evgeny Tomashevsky for all the help!

  2. Дорогие друзья! Хочу от всей души поблагодарить всех, кто болел и переживал за меня. Мне безмерно важны и приятны ваши слова поддержи! Увы, порою не все идёт гладко, а воплотить задуманное в жизнь оказывается труднее, чем казалось. Огромное спасибо моей замечательной команде, партнерам и всем тем людям, вместе с которыми мы проделали огромный путь. Ещё раз поздравляю @magnus_carlsen - он очень сильно играл, мастерски поддерживал напряжение, почти не ошибался и в итоге заслуженно победил. Непростые уроки будут выучены, а горький опыт пойдёт на пользу. Скоро всех нас ждут новые турниры, и добиваться побед мы сможем только вместе. Спасибо! Dear friends! I want to sincerely thank everyone who was rooting for me. Your words of support are immensely important and pleasant! Alas, sometimes not everything goes smoothly, and it turns out to be more difficult than it seemed to realize what was planned. Many thanks to my wonderful team, partners and all those people with whom we have come a long way. Congratulations once again to @magnus_carlsen - he played very well, masterfully maintained tension, made very few mistakes and deservedly won the match. Difficult lessons will be learned, and bitter experience will benefit. New tournaments are waiting for all of us soon, and we can only achieve victories together. Thanks! #fideworldchampionship #expo2020 📸@kublashvilieteri
