People who have set themselves the goal and achieve it, can not command respect. A striking example of perseverance - Alexander Nikitin. At one time he considered himself insulted by Karpov and agreed to whatever was to find and train those who will overthrow the strongest chess player at the time the world from the throne. This guy found in Baku. Whole soul invested Nikitin in his new student, who later from a modest student Garik Weinstein in Baku became Kimovich Garry Kasparov. November 9, 1985 big goal was reached. Nikitin rejoiced no less pupil.

Then there was a rematch, the dramatic denouement of the Seville match, and each time Nikitin was near. Perhaps, but my mother, for Kasparov in those years there was no more a loved one.
Ways Kasparov and Nikitin's long gone. The name, which earned Nikitin, working with Harry, now works for him. Now his client - Etienne Bacrot, recently celebrated adulthood and shared first place in the Open in Linares. Of course, this is not Kasparov, but working with Nikitin, a French grandmaster will surely become stronger.
Good luck and health, Aleksandr Sergeyevich
