My congratulations to the new World Chess Champion!!!
Now I feel like a foreteller.
10 years ago in the so-called Alekhine Memorial in Makeevka in the Donetsk Region Championship I've told 9-year boy Ruslan that he will go very far in chess, because I was amazed by his game after he won a game against me being 3 years younger. To say the truth, I couldn't imagine at that moment how far he will go! Several years later I went to Israel, and from here year after year I'm watching how my predictions come true.
Well done, Ruslan!
There are a lot of your fans here in Israel, and all of us wish you good luck in your future games!
Yours sincerely,
Leonid Bolshinsky
