Volodar Murzin and his coach in conflict with the Chess Federation of Russia

Volodar Murzin is currently one of the greatest Russian talents, and showed his skills by winning the World Rapid Chess Championship in New York in December. However, a conflict subsequently developed between him and his coach Mikhail Kobalia on one side and the Russian Federation on the other. Awful experiences with his violent father have also massively hindered his development as a player. | Photos: Sport.ru
