Re: FIDE Regain Control of World Championship Match and Candidates Tournament
Have FIDE yet published the revised contract with Agon which was agreed at some point prior to last year's election and which Nigel Short complained, during the election compaign, of not having had sight of? Malcolm emailed it to chess24, chess.com & chessbase on the same day. I think we were the o...

Re: ECF loses case
I wouldn't say it was a win for Kirsan, given CAS's comment about FIDE's " awkward disregard for constitutional formalities " and the fact that only a fraction of FIDE's costs were awarded. Agreed. It can be painted as a won court case, but it was won on technicalities (they appealed the wrong thin...

Re: ECF loses case
In the event that the appeals were upheld, the ECF and the GCF were asking for a contribution to their costs amounting to at least $195,244.09 but also suggested that a higher amount would be warranted if their total costs exceeded $1 million (section 106, p21)... so the ECF's and the GCF's combine...

Re: ECF loses case
Just had a read through it all. The verdicts (one appeal dismissed, one inadmissible) were based on disputed technicalities - who had appointed/approved the VPs and when, and whether that made appeals possible or correct. The only real clue to the "merits" of the case is when compensation is discuss...

Re: Jovanka H. in the Daily Mail
Dylan Loeb McClain's been writing a chess blog or column for the New York Times for years, so his piece doesn't really fit into the "ChessBase story picked up by the general media" rubric at all.

Re: Jovanka H. in the Daily Mail
I guess this had all the elements of a perfect "ChessBase story" on women's chess, though if they hadn't helpfully translated "décolletés" as the tabloid-friendly "cleavage" I doubt the Daily Mail would have picked up on it. CB also failed, as usual, to point out that they'd simply taken the inter...

Re: FIDE Law Suit
However, I remain puzzled that the issue could have been the talk of the chess world for so many months except, it seems, in England. Can you point to any public forums, websites or blogs where this information may have been disclosed? I don't think it's been on chessbase, chessvibes, chessninja, c...
