Unfortunately, I have to publicly clarify that I never said or implied to the NYT that the Women Chess Titles are of “second-class status”. It is very annoying that such a degrading comment has been added... Read more⬇️ facebook.com/karlovich.anas… #TheNewYorkTimes #chess

We spent countless hours working on finalizing Fischer Random rules. We discussed and tested each rule. The final product is what people are playing with today, including castling. I probably played more Fischer Random games against Bobby than anyone alive today. #FischerRandom

Went through Tigran Petrosian's games in question. Based on the moves, there is no any reason to suspect cheating. Tigran's moves were perfectly human. If Wesley loses 2 tempi 23...Qe7, 24...Qd8 or Fabiano plays 28.Rc1?, is not Tigran's fault. Tigran's moves are NOT the evidence

@PHChess I'm 99% sure that he wasn't cheating in the semifinals (I've played so bad that 2100 guy would have beaten me), and also the quality of games in final matches wasn't high (by both Tigran and especially his opponents) that I really don't know what is suspicious, besides his eyes

Just to clarify: Danailov numerous times called for me to be sacked. That is the reference. I do not support Danailovs take on @EmilSutovsky @FIDE_chess problems are structural, not about individuals.

As Danailov calls for @EmilSutovsky to be sacked, I will just say welcome to the club! @FIDE_chess problem are long-lasting and structural. We need more transparency We need more elected people in the decision process. We need seperation between politics and electing officials.
