American GM“The unfortunate state of American Chess…
I’ve never had a consistent sponsor and I personally finance my coaching, training, etc. It’s hard to compete with the Indian and Uzbek players who have unlimited resources in comparison.
Regardless, everyone is equal on the chess board but the importance of financial support is undeniable.”
