Andrey Filatov Congratulates Andrey Guryev on His Birthday

And thanks him for supporting chess.

 
Dear Mr. Guryev,
 
On behalf of the Chess Federation of Russia and on my own behalf, I congratulate you on your birthday! 
 
Friends and colleagues know you as a great athlete and fan of many sports - from rhythmic gymnastics to judo. But I would like to thank you for the PhosAgro company's longstanding strategic support of chess. Thanks to your active work as FIDE Vice-President, we have managed to complete many important ambitious tasks.  
 
For more than 10 years, PhosAgro has been our general partner and made a huge contribution into development of chess on all levels - from amateur to professional. Interactive chess classes in affiliated schools and kindergartens are being opened in the company's presence regions. PhosAgro supports the biggest international chess events and has recently signed sponsorship contracts with the Russian players Alexander Grischuk and Ian Nepomniachtchi, participants of the FIDE Candidates Tournament. 
 
Dear Andrey, I wish you robust health, unflagging energy and success in all endevours!  
 
Andrey Filatov,
President of Chess Federation of Russia
