 | | tpstar: <Most powerful man in chess accused of ‘secretly funding ISIS’> https://nypost.com/2018/02/14/most-... <Ilyumzhinov, an eccentric former politician who claims he was abducted by aliens twice, has reigned as the king of chess for 23 years. But after the US Department of Justice’s decision to investigate him, rumors of back-stabbing and in-fighting began to swirl around Fide. The embattled head was unable to attend the 2016 world chess championship held in New York for fear of arrest and became increasingly sidelined. Last year, Fide officially announced Ilyumzhinov had stepped down but then backtracked when the former head of the Russian semi-autonomous republic of Kalmykia insisted it was “fake news.”> Russian collusion! |

This month (March 2018), Kirsan I. met with friends and colleagues in an informal atmosphere. He had a <warm talk> (much nicer than a <cold war>) with the 12th World Chess Champion Karpov at a birthday party of an old friend: <Various issues of common interest, including those not related to chess life, were discussed and the interlocutors agreed to meet more often.> (quote) What a conclusion of a meeting:
.. agreed to meet more often ..
Well, then everything will be fine for FIDE, n'est-ce pas? For some pics of this warm talk, click:
