LEARNING RESULTS OF THE CHESS YEAR - IMPORTANT MILESTON IN THE HISTORY OF ANCIENT GAME
The results of the last chess year are impressive. The country hosted the Cup of Russia, the finals of the national championships among men and women, dozens of tournaments of schoolchildren were played. The men's national team of Russia is being updated. In the international arena the women's national team became the best in Europe and the world, and men brought silver from these tournaments. Three Russian grandmasters (out of eight) got into the tournament of applicants. Much attention is paid to the preparation for the 2018 Olympics, the upbringing and training of the younger generation: grandmaster centers, individual work with promising athletes, a chess department in the Sirius presidential center in Sochi, and the preparation of new children's coaches, and the introduction of chess lessons in schools and kindergartens are strange.
