Greetings to Yan Nepomnyashchy, World Champion in Blitz

January 1, 2025

Vladimir Putin congratulated Yan Nepomnyashchy on winning the 2024 World Blitz Chess Championship in New York (United States).

The message reads, in part:

“You produced a brilliant performance throughout the whole competition course, demonstrating outstanding tenacity and strong determination to win in the final. You fully deserve the title of the world champion, which you share with highly experienced Magnus Carlsen.”
