GM Veselin Topalov’s manager, Silvio Danailov, said he would run for president of the European Chess Union (ECU), chessdom.bg informs. Reportedly, Danailov will present his campaigning platform in the Croatian city of Rijeka this weekend. If elected, Danailov pledges to raise interest in Europe’s big chess tournaments and draw more sponsors to the international chess movement. Bulgaria’s President Parvanov was the first to mention that a Bulgarian might run for President of the European chess union, following talks with FIDE boss Kirsan Ilyumzhinov last December.

Who’s the best candidate? Kutin, Ali Nihat or Danailov?
The very first legislative item I would like to see enacted is a rule that any mention of computer tests in a letter to the officials of a tournament, like this one, must be accompanied by a log of the test results and description of how they were done. Even putting aside the aspect of (unfounded) accusation, it is scientifically wrong to quote results of private experimentation without providing data.
I don’t think that imperative is a good match for this candidate.
