CFR Executive Director Alexander Tkachev:
– This year the Russian Team Championships have a solid sponsor – the FONBET company, which was founded 30 years ago by a well-known grandmaster and trainer and later a successful businessman Anatoly Machulsky (unfortunately he passed away a few years ago). For the first time, we managed to organise a video broadcast with commentary by chess experts thanks to FONBET. We hope that the fruitful cooperation with FONBET will continue. We're looking forward to expanding our audience.
