the general assembly was abandoned halfway through the day (he left before that), i am not sure how else i am supposed to describe his first day on the job
new day? new half-day, at most
A new day for FIDE.
The election is behind us. Now our focus is on what lies ahead - working together, delivering on our commitments, and building an even stronger future for chess, for Member Federations, for the players and the fans.
Today is the final round of the Olympiad and the second day of the FIDE Congress. I wish all the players, delegates, officials and everyone involved a wonderful day.
The work begins.
Gens una sumus.

only 96 delegates have bothered to show up to the general assembly today, less than the required 50% for a quorum. turlov got bored and wandered off 2 hours ago, he is nowhere to be seen
just a complete shambles
the general assembly has fewer than 50 people voting today 🤦♂️
maybe attendance should be mandatory??
#chess It is NOT a good start for the new FIDE administration to ignore and bypass the Ukrainian Chess Federation @UAchessfed in appointing a Ukrainian vice-president without their official approval. In addition to the fact that Mr Podolyak has absolutely no relation to chess, exactly as Mr Kolobkov (RUS) doesn't. At this point, both choices seem to serve only non-chess interests and constitute a co-ordinated attack on the Ukrainian Chess Federation.
he is actually reading chatgpt during the general assembly, incredible
the first LLM to run an international sports federation
teaching the russians a real lesson by voting them back into power 🙄
Russians in the hall trying to secure support from delegates to readmit the Russian Chess Federation to FIDE. This is entirely contrary to a very clear ruling by CAS. The request comes from Nicaragua, Belarus, Cuba and Armenia (The usual suspects). Let's see if the organisation has a death wish and wants to lose its status with the IOC by ignoring the ruling.

Congrats to Arkady Dvorkovich on becoming the new FIDE President! 🥳
several (whiny) old men were quite upset with this picture - i posted it because malcolm told me his top priority was to stop wadim, and he preferred dvorko to stay in power. he was never running to win
since then, he has thrown his support behind the dvorko regime 🙄 supporter of ukraine my ass
wow this is a huge shock and not what they were doing all along. embarrassing
Buettner & Pein endorses to Timur Turlov for 2nd round
#chess #FIDECongress
2nd round of voting, time to see if @TelegraphChess and @JanHBuettner will instruct their supporters to vote for change or for the current regime 🙃
