(now Azerbaijan), the Russian invasion of Ukraine, being the world chess champion, and democracy. &nbsp;At the beginning of the event, Kasparov complimented Libby Chen’s correct pronunciation of his last name and commented that it showed that she is studying Russian language. <span>Libby Chen is thankful to her wonderful Russian professors, Elena Kostoglodova and Natalia Plagmann.</span> <div class="align-right image_style-medium_750px_50_display_size_"> <div class="imageMediaStyle medium_750px_50_display_size_"> <img loading="lazy" src="/gsll/sites/default/files/styles/medium_750px_50_display_size_/public/article-image/2024_oct_chen_plagmann_kasparov.jpg?itok=fYK9_xUf" width="750" height="500" alt="Libby Chen, Garry Kasparov and Natalia Plagmann"> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <h2> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--ucb-related-articles-block paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div>Off</div> </div> </h2> <div>Traditional</div> <div>0</div> <div>On</div> <div>White</div> Mon, 14 Oct 2024 21:32:23 +0000 Anonymous 1459 at /gsll
