#chess #FIDE The delegation of #Ukraine🇺🇦 officially appeals the ridiculous participation of a "FIDE" team in Linares, consisting solely of Russian passport holders. It violates all IOC guidelines and the decisions of the FIDE General Assembly and the FIDE Council.

The FIDE World Cup started with 206 players, but we're down to just 32 and 16 matches today!

♟ Mediterranean Stage Set for Chess History: The 2026 FIDE Candidates Come to 🇨🇾 Cyprus The most important tournament in the World Championship cycle will take place between March 28 and April 16, 2026 in Cyprus, bringing the event to a new host nation. Like in Toronto in 2024,

This is one of those curious cases where under US Chess rules the manner of handling it would be different. There the TD would act as a witness only and if the opponent claimed 'touch move' then it would be enforced, but the opponent also has the ability to not claim it.

There was a curious touch-move (?) incident in the Keymer-Pranesh draw yesterday! https://t.co/kAkGwo0VnW
