I guess it is a good sign for chess; many people are very serious about stopping the rot and making a BIG change. You have my warmest best wishes, and that also applies to you Susan (Your battles with the USCF).
King.
FIDE is wrong. Even Topalov does not support it anymore. Bulgarian Chess blasted at them today.

Hello,
I am wondering if…
Chess BV is only the response for Grand Slam, if there were not have been GS Chess BV would not be formed. ?
The war has started candidates matches were moved to earlier date to complicate GS situation. It is obvious.
