Mario Kostov, Executive Director of Bustrad Life Insurance JSC

- Mr. Kostov, how did you decide to support the chess tournament M-Tel Masters?
- This is a serious event for Bulgarian sport and Bulgaria as a country, which proves that we have our place among the great sport countries. It is a pleasure for us to support every initiative of this kind. It is very good that this tournament is traditional and we are happy to be one of its sponsors.

- Have you ever had a case in Bulstrad Life when insurance was made for a chess player?
- As a matter of fact not to chess player, but we have made insurances for many of the best Bulgarian sportsmen and we have the experience and the coverage needed to provide them with enormous capacities. The only thing that we cannot insure the players in M-Tel Masters against is the loss of a game.

- In your opinion against what are “insured” those who play chess?
- Chess is a game that requires great concentration and I don’t think that when someone plays chess he can feel bored even for a second. So, chess is an insurance against boredom.
