On 30 March, a series of “Spring at Home” quarantine broadcasts began on the Chess-news YouTube channel. A live interview was given by the first President of Kalmykia, sixth FIDE President Kirsan Ilyumzhinov to the owner of the Chess-news channel Evgeny Surov.

Kirsan Nikolaevich answered the questions: “How and why has the world changed? What to do in isolation? Does chess help? What can you tell about Teymur Rajabov? ” Evgeny Surov said: "Anyone who is willing to communicate without a mask is welcome."
