History of the Chess Department
In 1966, Grigory Abramovich Goldberg (ru) founded the Department of Chess at the State Center for Physical Culture and Sports. (the first grad school chess curriculim in higher education)

In 1966, the first chess specialization was was opened at the Russian State University of Physical Culture, Sports, Youth and Tourism (then GTSOLIFK) under the guidance of Honored Trainer of the USSR Grigory Abramovich Goldberg (ru) (Григорий Абрамович Гольдберг). For half a century, the Department of Theory and Methods of Chess has trained more than 600 trainers and professional chess players. More than 200 of them have become international grandmasters, national and international masters, FIDE masters.

We are talking about graduates, whom the language of chess has taken away from Russia, but for whom RGUFKSMiT-GTsOLIFK has always remained native.

I graduated from GTSOLIFK in 1970, and this was the first graduation –1966-1970. Fifteen chess amateurs entered, among them the most famous are:  Yuri Balashov  Mikhail Mukhin (ru)  Tatiana Lemachko


 * but only five people graduated from the institute.

At the first recruitment of chess players in infizcult, the system of training students of a new specialization was "worked out", we passed the standards for sports disciplines without any discounts. Our Papa Goldberg, as we called Grigory Abramovich Goldberg, the founder of the chess specialization, gave us all a path to life. Everything rested on him.

In particular, he gave me advice to go after graduation from GTSOLIFK not on a sports path, but to choose an organizational and methodological direction.

My life has been connected with chess for 46 years. Two sports schools, a chess department at the RSSU, the largest festival in Russia Moscow Open, the International School Chess Union have been created, world championships for schoolchildren have been introduced into the FIDE calendar, programs have been written for the Houses of Pioneers and sports schools, teaching aids translated into four European languages ​​are protected dissertation on chess.

All this became possible thanks to chess lessons, which developed in me the ability to find non-standard approaches to solving emerging life problems.

Today, chess players do not have national differences in their understanding of chess, computer technologies have made the process of learning chess available anywhere in the world, it is only a matter of the talent of individual individuals and the system of organizing competitions.

Now I am concentrating on the problems of general chess education, both through the RCF and through FIDE and the European Chess Union. I am interested in the experiment on universal education in Ingushetia, the creation of online chess teaching systems in schools and the preparation of teachers for this.

Interview 2
I am always proud to say: I am a graduate of GTsOLIFK. In '88 in October for admission, I first came to Moscow from Tajikistan. I entered the State Center for Physical Culture and Sports, because in the entire USSR there was the only higher school of chess coaches.

Each applicant had his own personal direction, but at the last moment another young man got my quota. I did not despair and went to the Moscow Sports Committee. The ideological department of the Central Committee of the CPSU promised that it would oversee my admission question. But I decided to go further and entered the reception room of Marat Vladimirovich Gramov, then he was the chairman of the committee on physical culture and sports under the Council of Ministers of the USSR. The secretary of Marat Vladimirovich did not let me into his office, but allowed me to call and report on the purpose of my visit. I introduced myself and said that I had flown in from Tajikistan to enter GTSOLIFK, but my quota was taken away from me. Five minutes later, all disheveled, he flew into the waiting room and happily shook my hand. Arranged a creepy debriefing. As a result, the USSR Sports Committee paid 10,000 rubles for me so that I could still study at the High School of Theater.

It was in those years that I left the USSR for the first time. For a couple of years, we flew twice to Poland and Hungary and once to Yugoslavia.

Later, already at home, I was the captain of the Olympic national chess team for a long time, I worked for the Chess Federation of Tajikistan for 20 years. He worked until he lost his sight.

For a long time he was a specialist in women's chess. It's more difficult to work with girls: they cry if they lose, they take everything too close to their hearts, they have to calm down. The young man can be pinned to the wall, I did that, I myself am a big guy.

Many years later, I can say that studying at the High School of Theater really helped me become a professional chess player.

Interview 3
First there was a collective farm where our magnificent group got to know each other better. Boris Zlotnik, the head of the department, organized a “blind” tournament: students in pairs, between the beds, picking potatoes, played among themselves by drawing a board and arranging the moves in their minds. The most important thing is that in the evening there was always an analysis and analysis of the game!

Our teachers: Zigurds Lanka, Mikhail Kislov and many others gave us a start in life. When they took advanced training courses, they lived in a hostel, where they shared with us invaluable chess knowledge.

Evgeny Linovitsky left a very deep imprint: at the department he organized the first international tournaments, I also thank him for the sincere evenings at the department, where we talked heart to heart for a long time.

I entered the institute because I really wanted to study at a sports university, my relatives lived in Moscow, I wanted to be closer to my brother, from whom I also learned a lot.

In Estonia, I was the third in the youth championship, I really wanted to become a coach and devote my life to this particular path.

Students of our department from friendly Yugoslavia became my first foreign friends. We taught them all the "basics" of student life. As a result of our "professional training" one of them got married by the second year!

Interview 4
I entered in 1989. The choice was between MGIMO, specializing in international journalism, and GTSOLIFK, a professional chess career. As a result, I settled on chess, which I do not regret at all.

The best years of my life are associated with the department. Almost all of my friends are from there. There I met my future mentors: Mikhail Kislov, Zigurds Lanka, the head of the department Evgeny Pavlovich Linovitsky played a special role in my biography.

There were also funny moments. Once our group - only 15 chess players, including eight girls and seven boys - was waiting for their teacher-curator of the group at a lecture. We wait 10 minutes, wait 20. The curator is not there. We used the rule: if there is no teacher for 15 minutes, you can leave. Which we happily did. Literally five minutes later, our nice curator "draws" and in anger drags us all to the dean's office, right to the dean Petrov. He, of course, starts reading morality to us with pleasure, to which I reasonably try to argue that we, they say, did everything according to the rules. Petrov simply asked me:

- What is the last name?

I answered him, not without pride:

- Bologan!

- Bologan ?! Withdraw from scholarship! - and circles my last name.

In fact, he deprived him of 60 rubles (increased, normal was 40).

Of course, for a chess player (Viorel was born in Moldova - author) to move to Moscow - the Mecca of chess - is the best option for further improvement. Moreover, there were no grandmasters in Moldova at that time. There was everything in Moscow: tournaments, coaches, sparring partners, and opportunities to travel abroad.

In general, moving is very typical for chess players. They often change federations, looking for where it is better. In my case, there were two cardinal moves, and both were related to chess. For the first time in 17 years, when I entered the department of chess at the State Center for Physical Education and Science. And the second time when I was invited to work in Qatar as a head coach in 2007.

The chess players have the following motto: “We are all one family”. Therefore, in general, the chess world is very friendly.

Interview 5
I entered the then Moscow Institute of Physical Culture and Sports, like many others, because I wanted to play chess.

In other universities, alas, the departure of athletes to competitions is negative. “Here I can combine study and play,” I thought, and went from Kazakhstan to conquer Moscow.

Our group was friendly and unusual: as many as seven girls studied, which was a rarity - there were always more boys-chess players. The group was very international: guys from all over the former Soviet Union gathered.

I remember that many of us had a hard time passing subjects in other sports. We trained the muscles of the head mainly, but we did not make any discounts, and some had to suffer for a long time before conquering the next standings in artistic gymnastics or swimming.

I remember how once the girls passed the baton in athletics. The strongest fell into the same bunch with the most unprepared girl. As a result, they had to distribute her running time among themselves and set fantastic records.

And when it came to speed skating, at the department we were solemnly handed skates and ordered to go out on the ice. The entire department gathered for this spectacle - after all, many students saw the ice for the first time, especially those who came from the southern republics.

After graduation, I returned home and worked as a coach. Once, during a trip abroad, I was invited to work in Singapore at a local chess school by one of the famous chess figures and organizers.

“Why not,” I thought, and got ready to go again. Chess, of course, helped, because I went to work as a coach.

There are many funny stories in Singapore that often involve language. I remember when, in a lesson at school, I asked the students to choose a partner to play games. In my English, it sounded like finding yourself a mate, that is, getting married. The children had fun for a long time. And when the roll call was necessary, the Chinese names had to be pronounced. Singapore has a predominantly Chinese population. The fun knew no bounds. In the end, I found a way out: I took a student, and he read all the names from the magazine, and I ticked the boxes.

Now I have returned home again, my baby is growing. But I think: what if I want to pack my suitcases again?

Interview 6
I studied at the Olympic Reserve School No. 1 in Moscow, and many of our classes have already taken place in the building of the Russian State University of Physical Culture and Sports. Then I began to think about further work and was glad to receive a coaching education at the department, behind which the best specialists are trained. The grandmasters-graduates of the department studied with us at the school.

The change of my place of residence is directly related to my work as a chess coach in France.

The chess world is one big international family. As a student, I managed to visit different countries at competitions, get acquainted with many chess players, organizers and judges. Such contacts are always useful, especially when you are settling into a new place.

Chess-speaking friends make up the bulk of my social circle in France. These are my fellow trainers, professional chess players, as well as just amateurs, the parents of my students.

The French have great respect for the Russian chess school. Of course it's nice

МАСТЕР СПОРТА СССР по шахматам, спорту звание; учреждено Высшим советом физической культуры (ВСФК) при ЦИК СССР (1935).

Прис ваивается пожизненно шахматистам и шахматисткам, выполнившим на Официальный сор- ниях нормы Единой Всесоюзного спорт, классификации.

До Великой Октябрьская Социалистических революции русским шахматистам, добившим ся международного признания, присваива лось, как и шахматистам др. стран, звание маэстро. После революции число шахматистов-маэстро в России (их стали также называть мастерами) равнялось 11. В 1918—24 мастерами стали ещё 7 шахматистов.

В 1925 В СФК учредил звание мастер СССР; оно присваивалось шахматистам, набравшим 50% очков в чемп-тах СССР или выигравшим матч у мастера (или сыгравшим вничью 2 матча с мастерами).

Мастерами становились также шахматисты—победители губернских чемп-тов при участии в них не менее 3 мастеров. В 1925—34 норму мастера СССР выполнили 27 шахматистов.

В 1934 исполнительный бюро шахматам секции ВСФК решило провести Квалификация проверку мастеров в возрасте до 50 лет.
