Schacksnack

Den 29:e under Schack-OS vet vi vem som blir FIDE:s nästa ordförande Kirsan Ilyumzhinov eller Anatoly Karpov. Det skrivs mycket om detta i media runt om i världen. I Globe Boston har Alex Beam tittat närmare på hur det kommer att gå. "Yes, there are more important elections to write about. But none quite as interesting. Ilyumzhinov v. Karpov is like Bush v. Gore, with guns..." "FIDE’s top American official is vice president William Kelleher, a chess master who lives in Watertown..." "Who’s going to win? “Almost certainly Ilyumzhinov,’’ says Kelleher, sighing resignedly."
