Владимир ФЕДОСЕЕВ: лишение звания, шахматы и Россия | ПОДКАСТ

Today, my guest is Vladimir Fedoseyev, a super grandmaster and two-time World Rapid Championship runner-up. Last year was difficult for Vladimir: he lost his rating, was stripped of his Russian grandmaster title, and failed to qualify for the Candidates Tournament. We discussed the reasons behind this and how he dealt with it. We also touched on the 2026 Olympiad, the possible participation of Russian athletes, and the life of a chess player after 30. Vladimir reflected on competing with the younger generation and shared important chess insights. As is tradition, we ended with a blitz game—don't miss it!

The "Chess with Mastrider" channel features podcasts with the world's best chess players, videos about chess news, interesting games, and my chess journey. I joined a chess club at age 9, became a Candidate Master of Sports at 13, and won the Kaliningrad Region Championship twice in my age group. I quit chess at 14. But recently I fell in love with the game again. At 29, I returned to chess and started participating in tournaments again. I also started creating chess content for my blogs. I'm now 32. I live in Almaty, Kazakhstan, with my girlfriend, three dogs, and five cats. #chess #vladimirfedoseyev #russia #podcast #interview
