About me:

I have written extensively on boxing and interviewed many hall of fame boxers and trainers on my old YouTube channel and for

Various websites and newspapers. (https://m.youtube.com/user/novirasputin2/videos ) These include Angelo Dundee, Oscar De La Hoya, Gennadiy Golovkin, Emanuel Steward, Wladimir Klitschko as well as many others.

As regards chess I have translated books by GM Evgeny Bareev (“Say No To Chess Principles”), and GM Vladimir Tukmakov (“Modern Chess Formula-The Powerful Impact Of Engines” and the forthcoming “A Feast of Chess In Time Of Plague” about the 2020 Candidates Tournament). I’m also working on translating a few books by GM Genna Sosonko, as well as co-authoring my first book based on my coaching experiences with Bulgarian GM Alexander Delchev.

I’m also an avid journey runner and have run straight across seven countries (USA, UK, France, Cuba!, Ireland, Switzerland, and my native Moldova).
