Gotta Move On

12th World Chess Champion Anatoly Yevgenyevich Karpov welcomed the decision of incumbent FIDE President Arkady Vladimirovich Dvorkovich to run for reelection. “Arkady Vladimirovich Dvorkovich has already put forward his candidacy. He did the right thing”, Karpov said, as quoted by RBC. “I do not understand why he shouldn’t participate in the election. It is clear that European countries won’t back him, America won’t back him, but the International Chess Federation comprises 191 countries. In order to win one must get somewhere around 97 votes. It is not known who will be his opponent. But if we talk about the situation, then somehow we believe that Russia is isolated. I can’t agree with that. Ya gotta try”.
