I today send the following documentation to the @FIDE_chess Council, asking them to stop @SergeyKaryakin propaganda tournament in Moscow🇷🇺 Karjakin 🇷🇺 is the worst war propagandist in sports ever. @advorkovich @vishy64theking @EmilSutovsky @DanaReiznieceOz @iocmedia 🧵1/7

"This is the expected reactions of our enemies" The Chess Federation of Russia 🇷🇺 has responded to the European Chess Federation @ECUonline tass.ru/sport/24585015

Karjakin just posted pictures celebrating International Chess Day together with Gunina in Moscow 🇷🇺 How can @FIDE_chess seriously argue that Gunina is a "neutral" athlethe?

The European Chess Union @ECUonline with a statement regarding the FIDE Council decisions chessdom.com/ecu-statement-…

To my Latvian colleagues, it is truly regrettable, that Russian nationals and officials are welcome to compete in #chess tournaments in #Latvia. It coincides with the decision of #FIDE under president @advorkovich, which has just allowed the 🇷🇺 female national team to compete in…

Strong statement by the European Chess Union. But what is needed is action, not words.

The Chess Federation of Russia 🇷🇺 and the Russian Military Historical Society, continue to organize chess events aimed at kids, in illegally occupied Ukrainian 🇺🇦territories. @FIDE_chess keeps turning the blind eye. ruchess.ru/news/all/v_sev…

Dear @edgarsrinkevics Has Latvia 🇱🇻 cancelled its ban on Russian 🇷🇺 athletes? This picture is from a chess tournament in Jurmala 2 days ago. @advorkovich @DanaReiznieceOz

Dear @FIDE_chess Will you allow Valentina Gunina 🇷🇺 to participate as a neutral athlete, on the Russian🇷🇺 team in the upcoming women's world team championship hosted in Spain 🇪🇸? @advorkovich @vishy64theking @DanaReiznieceOz @lukaszturlej @EmilSutovsky

Dear @AjedrezEspanola Will you allow an Russian 🇷🇺 team at the upcoming Womens World Team Championship in Spain? 🇪🇸 Several of their players have received orders from the Kremlin, played Karjakins propaganda tournaments, and given pro war interviews.

The FIDE General Assembly voted for the below: Allowing the Russian 🇷🇺 female team back in official championships seems a direct breach of a General Assemble decision. Unless FIDE argues that women is a vulnerable group 😐 fide.com/key-decisions-…

FIDE President @advorkovich said he is proud to be a Russian 🇷🇺 citizen. A reasonable question would be if he is proud of Russia's behaviour, sending missiles into densively populated Ukrainian 🇺🇦 cities killing civilians. Its shameful. tass.ru/sport/14093437

A sad and very shameful day for chess. As rumoured, the FIDE Council has indeed allowed the Russian 🇷🇺 women's team back at the upcoming World Team Championship. Against the decision of the FIDE General Assembly.

26 years since I played the World chess championship at Ceasars Palace in Las Vegas! Happy chess day!

Dear @FIDE_chess, Just a factual question: Did the FIDE Council yesterday vote in favour of letting the Russian 🇷🇺 womens team back in competitions? Council decisions has the force of law, and should be public.

An Ukrainian 🇺🇦 court has in absentia sentenced Sergei Karjakin 🇷🇺 to 9 years imprisonment. Karjakin "celebrates" it by sharing a photo where he plays chess with Russian soldiers on Ukrainian territory. @FIDE_chess as usual does nothing. Happy chess day!

According to Russian 🇷🇺 state media, FIDE is about to make a decision allowing Russian teams back. m.sport-express.ru/chess/reviews/…
