> serious organization such as FIDE
It's wort noting that up until recently, FIDE had a president who was full-on batshit crazy. He repeatedly claimed in public that he had been abducted by aliens. He (and by implication FIDE under his rule) was sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury for financial involvement in the war in Syria. Corruption was an open secret. It's a bit of a stretch to call FIDE under Ilyumzhinov a "serious organization".
- ycombinete 8y agoBefore such claims one/both of you would have to define what "serious organization" means when you use it, as it would appear that you might be equivocating relative to how he used the term.
