00:00The rise of Kazakh chess is nothing short of remarkable.

00:18Popularity is soaring, results are multiplying, and the world is taking notice.

00:23Today, I'm attempting to uncover the secret behind this phenomenon.

00:27This is Modern Nomads.

00:30The Kazakhs are a growing popularity and authority in the international arena.

00:41We are not just a positive dynamic, but I would like the rocket.

00:46Every rocket needs fuel.

00:48Kazakh chess received an influx of fuel in 2023 when the Chess Federation got a new president

00:53and a new sponsor in one person.

00:56Olof is a local fintech entrepreneur and the second richest businessman in Kazakhstan.

01:01We have a very strong program, a federation-sponsored program, to support young talents, to provide

01:09equipment, software.

01:12We pay for their personal trainings and providing access to the best chess trainers.

01:20Participation in national and international championships also require a hefty sum.

01:25Funding turned out to be a vital element of the success of chess, but not the only one.

01:30Why the Soviet Union, even before the collapse, was absolutely ahead of everyone.

01:34Because there was an organization system.

01:36It's almost the same as it is now in Kazakhstan.

01:39The structure is completely different, but the system is still alive.

01:43The approach envelops introducing chess to schools and clubs, organizing amateur and professional tournaments,

01:50popularizing chess through media and expanding global presence.

01:54You travel a lot and see a lot of international tournaments.

01:59How do other countries perceive Kazakhstan and its chess federation?

02:04I think in our days everyone already respects Kazakh players in chess, especially the girls, because of our results.

02:15And I think it's really nice to hear all the good comments.

02:20Women's chess holds a special place in Kazakhstan.

02:23Five female chess players are in FIDE's top 100 women list.

02:28Our women chess players are always being good, and I think it's our tradition to inspire each other by our results.

02:36Ksenia is one of 16 women grandmasters in Kazakhstan's history.

02:40She's a world champion in blitz and rapid chess, and she was part of Kazakhstan's national team,

02:45which won historic silver in Budapest Olympiad.

02:48First of all, in women's chess, there's less competition.

02:52So, if women's chess players achieve certain achievements,

02:56then in the world it's already a pretty high level.

02:59Ksenia is only 19 and is already considered an old guard.

03:03Younger generation is quickly gaining up on her cohort.

03:06I think in our days, six years old, it's already kind of late,

03:10because, yes, I heard many stories like that kids start playing at three years, four years old.

03:16So, I mean, it's just easier to achieve something when you start playing younger.

03:21If you want to become the world's champion,

03:24so most probably you have to be a grandmaster.

03:27I don't know, 14, 16 years old, so quite young.

03:31You should be quite young to be competitive in this crazy world.

03:36Alimjan Jambai became a world champion at the age of 11 by winning gold at Fujaira Global Chess Championships this fall.

03:43He's a silver medalist from Abu Dhabi International Chess Festival and a two-time world champion in school chess.

03:49I learned to play during the pandemic.

03:52My father and brother were taught us.

03:55We played.

03:56I really liked it.

03:58Then we started to play professionally with our trainer.

04:02My main goal is to achieve a international master.

04:05His success reflects the philosophy Kaz Chess Federation is pursuing today, nurturing local talent to facilitate national growth.

04:14If we want to have strong and sustainable development in our country and for our business,

04:24it's very important to pay attention, especially for these intellectual games.

04:31Because the development of human capital is extremely important for the sustainable growth.

04:42Kazakh chess may just be at the beginning of its journey, but the achievements already speak for themselves.

04:52The future holds even greater triumphs.

04:54We will be watching closely.
