Power and Magic


Anatoly Yevgenyevich Karpov: “It looks like a power struggle of some kind, there is something not very clean behind this”. See http://tass.ru/sport/4131222.

“The opponents of FIDE President Kirsan Nikolayevich Ilyumzhinov are leading an unethical struggle for power inside the organization”, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma’s Committee on International Affairs and 12th World Chess Champion Anatoly Yevgenyevich Karpov told TASS on March 28, 2017. “It all started when Kirsan Nikolayevich was blacklisted by the U.S. Treasury; he temporarily suspended all operations and transactions, but since then the queue began to push. It looks like a power struggle of some kind, there is something not very clean behind this”.
