Zangalis added that nobody could have imagined such success in 2011 when he first talked with Karjakin about the “project Universe”.

Recently, Karjakin also became the face of the largest Russian private bank “Otkritie”. Karjakin joked on twitter – “They said it will be fun. And then they sent 700kg of chess sets for autographs!”
