Some of the most important lessons in my life didn’t come from business meetings or boardrooms. They came from sport. My father introduced me to boxing at a young age - not just how to throw a punch, but how to control myself. Discipline. Respect. Self-control. Focus under pressure. Later, I trained in karate, and over time developed a real passion for MMA. What always struck me was this: the best fighters are usually the calmest people in the room. They understand control, responsibility, and limits. Combat sports teach something many people forget: strength is not aggression. Real strength is discipline. You learn to stay composed when emotions rise. You learn to respect your opponent. And you learn that success comes from consistency - not excuses. It took me time to realise that the same principles apply far beyond combat sports. In chess, like in fighting, the biggest mistakes happen in moments of lost control. One second of impatience. One emotional decision. And the position changes completely. Different arena - same discipline. These lessons have stayed with me in business, leadership, and everyday life. Sport builds character. Combat sports reveal it. Chess tests it.

Dear Chess Friends, It gives me great pleasure to introduce the new WR Chess team for the 2026 World Rapid & Blitz Team Championship in Hong Kong. Since the founding of WR Chess, our vision has always been to bring together not only the strongest chess players in the world, but also outstanding personalities who truly believe in the educational, cultural, and unifying power of chess. This year, our team is led by World No.1 Magnus Carlsen and includes some of the greatest names in modern chess: Fabiano Caruana, Wesley So, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, Jan-Krzysztof Duda, Hou Yifan, and Alexandra Kosteniuk. I am especially pleased to welcome the newest member of WR Chess - the 7th Speaker and 34th Prime Minister of Mongolia, Arena International Master H.E. Zandanshatar Gombojav. His long-standing support for chess development and intellectual education in Mongolia reflects values that we deeply respect at WR Chess. I am confident that his presence will bring additional inspiration and international attention to our team and to the global chess community. With this exceptional lineup, WR Chess enters the 2026 World Rapid & Blitz Team Championship in Hong Kong this June as the No.1 ranked team in the competition. Please join me in warmly welcoming H.E. Mr. Zandanshatar Gombojav to the WR Chess family.
