Sergey Karjakin: "Why would not Ilyumzhinov hold another tournament in Baku?"

- The head of FIDE Kirsan Ilyumzhinov does not exclude that one more world-class tournament - Children's Chess Olympiad could be held in the near future in Baku. What is the probability of that in your opinion?

-It's hard to tell for me, because I participate in adult competitions. But, in any case, I can say that Baku has great chess traditions. It hosts many tournaments including the annual Vugar Gashimov Memorials, which I will visit.

Why not to hold even one more tournament here? It's a great city, one of the capitals of the chess world.
