The winner is the fourth youngest player to win this title in Ukraine. He is currently the youngest grandmaster in the world.
Rubryka previously spoke to Valeria Yezhova, who came up with a solution to help Ukrainian forces.
The girl offers everyone on the street to play with her for a charitable contribution, which she then sends to the military. We also decided to join in, play checkers, and discuss the solution.
