FIDE Vice President and chess Grandmaster Nigel David Short (left), who arrived in Seoul today on a diplomatic visit to the Korean Peninsula on behalf of 7th FIDE President Arkady Vladimirovich Dvorkovich, could barely hide his joy at meeting there someone he’d never have expected to meet (at least apparently): 6th FIDE President Kirsan Nikolayevich Ilyumzhinov (right front), who was seated at the driver’s seating position, next to Korean Chess Federation President Mrs. Hyun In Suk and Korean Chess Vice President O Hando. “Was delighted to be invited to Korea by the Chess Federation to discuss some fascinating projects. Was less happy not to be informed who else would attend”, Short eventually tweeted. Photo: Elista.org.
