Let me introduce myself.I am Denis Grigoriev.I am a student of the 7th cadet class.

Our school is the best school in Velsky district. As for me,I have got a lot of opportunities to study well and to take part in different school and after-school activities. I`m very proud and happy because I won such School Awards as The Student of the Year and The Sportsman of the Year. There aremany diplomas and medals in my portfolio. For example, I am interested in judo and have good results in it. But my hobby and sport number one is CHESS.

Chess is an ancient intellectual game with a long history.

It was invented in India in the 5-6th centuries.

Nowadays it is one of the most popular board games. It teaches to think,develops attention and diligence. In different countries this game has its

name:in England – “chess”, in Spain – “el axedres”, in Germany – “schach”, in France – “echecs”.

There is a chess club “Debut” in our settlement. It was opened on the 6th of April, 1986. The first sports competitions took place in 1989. People of different ages get together, play chess, compete and have a good time. The students of my school were the winners and the prize-winners not onlyin Kuloy, but also in our district and region. Every year we win the chess championship “White Rook” in our district centre Velsk.

Several times a week I go to the chess club to play myfavourite sports game. Of course, I try to practise hardand train properly to do my best, because I am a leadingfigure in our school and settlement team. I `ve achieved much, but my ambition is to win more medals, cups, prizes and awards and to become a grandmaster in the future. The students of my school are proud of me andcall me “our champion”. It`s really nice and touching!

I am really lucky because I had a great chance to take part in All-Russia chess competitions in different cities of our country. In 2012 I went to Yaroslavl where I got a silver medal in the Northern Railway championship. I wasgiven a diploma, a lot of presents andsouvenirs.

Later I participated in the competitions of the Russian Federation among the children of workers of a railway transportation. Our team of the NorthernRailway took the third place among theseventeen railways of Russia. It was a great success and we were happy andimpressed. That`s unforgettable!

SOCHI - 2013

I became the captain of the Northern Railwayteam. In October, 2013 I was invited to Sochito take part in the chess championship of theRussian Federation among children. I madenew friends, went sightseeing, played sports.My dream became true! I visited the “capital”of the Winter Olympic Games. I was one of the best chess players. Next year I am going toEkaterinburg!!!

Nikolai Mikhailovich Rogozin is my chess trainer. This man is a real professional and a great master because he has a lot of achievements and he is awell-known person in Kuloy, in Velsky district and in the Arkhangelsk Region. He always does his work seriously and carefully. Thanks to him, people of all ages play chess in our settlement. Nikolai Mikhailovich can get on well with children and adults. He is tolerant and careful, demanding and strict.

It`s my life! Chess forever!
