It is fair to have a debate if @FIDE_chess should follow IOC recommendations, but to claim that we are following them is simply disinformation:

О выступлениях шахматистов путинского фашистского государства под государственным или другим связанным с режимом флагом не может быть и речи. Кто не в состоянии отречься от режима даже символически – пускай организуют свою федерацию с Беларусью и Сев. Кореей и играют между собой.

We can confirm that the 44th Olympiad will be held in Chennai, India.
The FIDE Council meeting is still ongoing, and the exact dates are being discussed, but the event will take place at the end of July-beginning of August. Not very far off from the dates originally planned. https://t.co/UcNgb18ykB

One of the #Russian bloggers cries that in two days her Instagram will stop working
She does not care at all about the thousands of dead people, including her compatriots. Obviously, her biggest worry right now is that she won’t be able to post pictures of food from restaurants. pic.twitter.com/LSdBiSlwHr

Media: @Kasparov63 to @AC360: „There’s no way to avoid this confrontation. It’s not *if* @NATO confronts #Putin in the skies over #Ukraine or nearby or on the ground. It’s when. Better to start now and do it on our terms. There will be no way out if he attacks #NATO countries.” pic.twitter.com/3XeRGl3DMl

Richard Rapport: "I really hope that chess will keep growing in Serbia, as I know for a fact the culture is craving for it! So let's hope that there will be many more tournaments of such magnitude to come in the future, and let's hope that I will qualify to the #FIDECandidates!" pic.twitter.com/6rxMKy6mEs

About 300 meters from my house "something" came to visit. In my apartment, the windows miraculously remained intact – I looked at all this and again went to bed. "A hard day is coming" – I thought to myself – so a few hours of sleep will not be superfluous. pic.twitter.com/8LmPyDyKt2

The International Gymnastics Federation has condemned Russian gymnast Ivan Kuliak for wearing a „Z” on his chest in support of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

After two #FIDEGrandPrix tournaments, Richard Rapport is the clear leader of the Series and extremely close to #FIDECandidates qualification. A group of players still has a shot in Berlin, starting March 21.

@GMHikaru and @LevAronian played the final of the first Grand Prix, but now there is no chance that both qualifies for the Candidates.
Why? Because they are paired in the same preliminary group.@FIDE_chess has to stop its experiments without thinking through the consequences.— Peter Heine Nielsen (@PHChess) March 13, 2022
