The family Cherniaiev went through hell in their effort to escape the war zone of Kharkiv, which is currently being reduced to rubble by the Russians. The father, Sergey, had to stay behind. Mother Svetlana, grandmother Larissa, and sister Ustynya needed a full week to make it out of the country, but finally they all arrived in Hamburg.

They are now staying in the ChessBase company flat, are fully registered. We arranged for him to attend an Elite school for sports, one that will support Tykhon's chess training. We are also organizing full GM training for the boy. Read about his chess career here.

We are doing everything we can to make life normal and manageable for the family.
