On June 7, 2024, FIDE Ethics Commission released first instance decision with regard to the chess policies of Chess Federation of Russia (hereinafter CFR) in the new Russian territories, according to which “CFR is sanctioned by a temporary exclusion of membership in FIDE for two years from the date of this decision”, while FIDE President, Arkady Vladimirovich Dvorkovich, “is sanctioned to a reprimand”.
Both CFR and Dvorkovich will appeal the decision to the competent FIDE General Assembly scheduled for September in Budapest, Hungary, at the 45th Chess Olympiad.
CFR President Andrey Vasilievich Filatov, however, was deeply irritated by the “politically correct” attitude shown by his fellow Russian FIDE President commenting on the ruling, accusing him bluntly of fence-sitting. “I would describe the policy pursued by Dvorkovich within FIDE with a sentence, ‘I twist and twirl because I wanna cheat everyone’”, Filatov told TASS.
In Machiavelli’s terms, it might even be a compliment.
