Re: FIDE Executive Board
Having established that Nigel Freeman reads the Forum, he may read this and decide to fix the proofreading error in the report from Day 6 of the Congress: http://www.fide.com/component/content/a ... day-6.html
The report helpfully explains: "FIDE Treasurer Professor Siegel proposed the following motion: “quote motion”. The members voted 37-20 in favour of the motion with 2 abstentions."

Has that really happened?Richard Bates wrote:Just as the London League has invested in a number of shiny new analogue clocks to accommodate the needs of their new venue as well...
It would still make some kind of sense. The killer argument against digital clocks is that they will be stolen. This patently is not a danger with analogue clocks, which nobody wants.

That is a blunder. However, the motion is shown correctly in the pdf which follows it.Alex Holowczak wrote:The report helpfully explains: "FIDE Treasurer Professor Siegel proposed the following motion: “quote motion”. The members voted 37-20 in favour of the motion with 2 abstentions."

But what are the changes?
The main one is that, from 1 January 2018, illegal moves will lose after TWO moves in rapidplay and blitz. Until then, it remains at ONE move.

It says they will be posted on the website soon.Roger de Coverly wrote:But what are the changes?
This is an unfortunate result of the generally good idea of abandoning the mountains of paper given to people as they walk into the meeting, sending everything by email in advance instead. Federations who sent delegates who did not happen to be EB members didn't get the email, so still don't know what was going on.

Annex 19, containing all the changes, has been approved and is not a secret. However, I don't think it's my place to post it here. Could you do that?
