Medet Dzhaparov has been passionate about chess since childhood and now teaches the sport at the youth sports school in Karakol. This was his third time competing at the FIDE World Amateur Championships.
I’ve taken every possible place at this championship: a few years ago I finished third, last year — second, and now I’ve become the champion. I’ve completed the full set.
