Naturally, a 'must write' for FIDE, but watch out the difference between last year and now:

2017, no signature at all

  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!

Feb-15-18  morfishine: How can this guy be the head of FIDE? He only has 1 game in the database and he lost it! lol

Even NN has done better than that!

  Stonehenge: <who claims he was abducted by aliens>

What a shame they returned him to planet Earth.

Mar-28-18  diagonal: Let's see what Kirsan is up to today! :))

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?

  Check It Out: Quote of the Day:

<I was taken from my apartment in Moscow to this spaceship. We went to some star. After that I said "Please bring me back" because the next day I had to go to Kalmykia and then to Ukraine, and they said "No problem, Kirsan, you have time.">

Never Forget.
