Re: FIDE internal fighting
"The minutes seem to imply some connection between Kirsan and Agon, being that Kirsan financed Agon in some manner and would now like to own it in lieu of debt repayment, or was he owning or financing it all along, despite the denials of the late Andrew Paulson?"
I have to report I today received an email from Andrew Paulson, saying,
"Hello Kevin,
Are you free at the moment? I need your help with something.
Best Regards,
Andrew Paulson"
I thought this a bit fishy, then the forum reminded me why it seemed fishy!

"Andrew is no longer with us."
I know - the bit I quoted describes him as "late". He and I may have exchanged emails at one stage.

Where did that quote come from?

Re: FIDE internal fighting
This is a relatively common piece of attempted fraud. The SCCU committee have been receiving similar emails supposedly from its President for the past three or four years. If you reply you’ll be asked to purchase something on the President’s behalf - music vouchers for instance - and to forward them on with payment coming when they next see you. Of course, you realise it’s a fraud straight away and after the first attempt you might think they’d know better, but they keep trying!

Yes, I've received [and I know I'm not alone in this] several similar emails purporting to come from Julian Clissold.David Gilbert wrote: ↑Tue Apr 20, 2021 5:30 pmThis is a relatively common piece of attempted fraud.

I have just learned that the ECF President is in urgent need of £2,350. Crowdfunding, anyone?

The former has been annexed allegedly for junior purposes. He could try running or walking round his garden and seek sponsorship?

I note that Azmai has been re-elected (unopposed) as ECU President and that the ECF's Malcolm Pein is on his team, so you may have been optimistic about this.Roger de Coverly wrote: ↑Mon Apr 09, 2018 11:07 amI doubt the allegations of rating fraud, taking moves back and head butting will be entirely forgotten.NickFaulks wrote: ↑Mon Apr 09, 2018 10:41 amWhen Andrew Paulson wanted to join Azmai's ticket he ran into an absolute firestorm - that was when Danailov was the ECF favourite and Azmai the devil incarnate. How things change.

When I commented on similar posts made by Justin on Twitter, he accused me twice of giving a "very David Sedgwick answer".JustinHorton wrote: ↑Sat Jul 23, 2022 2:09 pmI note that Azmai has been re-elected (unopposed) as ECU President and that the ECF's Malcolm Pein is on his team, so you may have been optimistic about this.
I don't know what a "very David Sedgwick answer" is and I have no great wish to know.
Accordingly I shall refrain from responding to Justin on here.
