Eager to learn

Young Tykhon joins endgame expert Karsten Müller to analyse a few instructive positions from the 2018 Blitz and Rapid U10 World Championship. The Ukrainian is fully engaged and visibly happy to learn from the experienced trainer.

Tykhon, who is already a member of the Hamburg Sports Club, is in discussion with the German Chess Federation regarding a sponsorship program. Dorian Rogozenco, who is now training the 12-year-old, told Björn Jensen in a recent interview: “He is very motivated, and almost does too much”.

Karsten's Fritztrainer DVDs on the endgame are bestsellers. The mathematician with a PhD lives in Hamburg, and for more than 25 years he has been scoring points for the Hamburger Schachklub (HSK) in the Bundesliga.
