— Sergey, how did you save up for your first computer?
— I saved a little bit at a time in a piggy bank, — Sergey Karyakin admits. — For example, I was given money for ice cream, and I saved some of it instead of spending it. This was when I was 10 years old. But when I was 12, I went to a tournament abroad, performed well, and was able to buy a computer with the prize money. It wasn't the most powerful, but I was happy with it at the time.
— Did you use that computer only for chess practice?
— Primarily, yes, for that. But at that age, you want to play computer games. I really loved playing "Heroes of Might and Magic III". There were different difficulty levels, such as pawn, knight, rook, and queen. It was all combined — games and chess. But then I got older and started focusing only on chess.
