Chess had never received this much importance.

It makes me very proud seeing a family like this. This gentleman didn't wait for the government to offer his children something better; instead, he took the reins himself.

These are the children who are at greatest risk. Until now, they hadn't been taken into account because they lived so far from the city center. Those children never come (to the department), because they don't even have bus fare.

We're surprised. The stereotype is that only people from wealthier backgrounds play this sport. Here we're proving this isn't so.

I feel that my chess strengths are still here, ... I believe I can still improve.

In chess, as a purely intellectual game, where randomness is excluded, - for someone to play against himself is absurd ...
It is as paradoxical, as attempting to jump over his own shadow.
