English Chess Forum

So, the forum got the results in exact reverse order. Not sure what that says about us and what is says about FIDE.

White smoke! Does Makro still chair the rest of the Assembly and Dvorkovich takes over at a later date?

Aternatively, given that Nigel transferred his supporters to Dvorkovich, that makes 27/46 or 58.7% of our vote, Actual result was 103/181 or 57% so we were quite close, certainly closer than Malcolm and the ECF.

Good question. Makro has left the room, so he isn't Chairing. Not sure 4.3 is going to happen tonight.

I wonder whether Short or Makro or Malcolm will feature in the new administration?

Time to start a new thread?

Short WILL
Makro WON'T
Pein (could, maybe, after a wait to digest)

Maybe if the question had been "Who do we think will win?" people would have voted differently.

It's starting to make the mainstream news.

Ha, did Nigel of all people complain of a culture of bullying? Good Lord.

Is it known how many votes Short got?

0 - he withdrew his candidature after giving his election address.

Scotland was on the list of those nominating Makro.

But the ECF nominated Nigel, so it doesn't always indicate voting intent on election day.

Chess Scotland made their final decision about how to vote the day before the ECF did. Unlike the ECF, CS chose not to make the decision public.

The newly elected President takes over at the end of the Congress, so chairing the second and third days of the General Assembly is formally Makropoulos's responsibility.

Will he fulfil it? We shall find out in the morning.

There's a contested election for African continental president coming up, but is there anything else controversial? Perhaps Agon, but that's going to be on the new President's "to do" list anyway.
