Athletes who actively support the war will not be eligible to be entered or to compete. This is written in the IOC decision.Khismatullin is an active supporter of the war and playing in World Rapid 2023! FIDE is breaking Olympic laws olympics.com/ioc/news/stric… #Chess #FIDE

Today, Russian terrorists shelled the building where Lviv Chess Academy classes were held. Before the war, Lviv was home to 20 GMs! Is politics out of sports again? #Chess #sports #Lviv

3 Ukrainian🇺🇦 Chess Clubs was bombed by Russia🇷🇺 in 2023. Kramatorsk, Kherson, Lviv. If wishes of health have any sincerity, the @fide_chess President should stop celebrating with Kremlin politicians and supporters in Moscow🇷🇺, but visit and support the victims instead🇺🇦

Adam Mokrysz ,CEO of the MOKATE Group, a big fan of chess. Mokate produces one of the best coffees in the world. And chess teaches you the right way to think in business and in life! #Chess #Bissness #Ustron #Mokate

We live in a time increasingly resembling the second half of the 1930s. I couldn't live with myself with the knowledge I didn't do more to stop another Hitler. In light of the Republican wavering and in memory of Navalny I will give $100 towards FPV drones for Ukr for every RT.

Silver medals in the Icelandic club championship with the Reykjavik chess club! #Chess #Iceland

Grand chess returns to Polanica Zdroj! The super tournament will feature top Polish players Duda, Wojtaszek, Bartel, Volokitin from Ukraine and many other top players. In the strongest tournament in 1998, I was already here together with Vasyl Ivanchuk.

FIDE's transition from the stage of pretending that nothing is happening to trying to patch up the holes in a sinking ship is a great success of the Nielsen-Baryshpolets initiative with the support of UCF.I am sure that we are not far from changing the Russian leadership in FIDE.

The European University Games 2024 are currently taking place in Hungary. Full support for Ukraine, ribbons, banners and posters in yellow and blue colours. And no athletes from the countries of terrorists and occupiers. This is how sports competitions should be held! #Chess

I'm very happy for our compatriots,the Ukrainian national esports team, and congratulate them on reaching the World Championship! Ukraine wins IESF World Esports Championship 2024 Women - Europe Group! It was a pleasure to help a little.

All the Best!!

Another terrible russian attack on Lviv. At least 4 dead, 35 wounded, this building in the photo is only 300 meters from Ivanchuk's house and 600 meters from Romanishin. It's time to protect Ukrainian civilians more than russian airfields.

Andrea Bocelli is my favorite and is recognised as the most successful classical artist of all time! Thanks to the organisers for the photos of this wonderful tournament! Chess is an art ! #Chess

Instead of banning and expelling the invading chess federations that hold tournaments in the occupied territories, FIDE expels Magnus Carlsen for wearing jeans. Full support for Magnus Carlsen ! #Chess #ChessChampionship

Chess school in Kyiv 🇺🇦 hit by Russian drones this night. The Chess Federation of Russia´s 🇷🇺 leadership is directly connected to the top Kremlin leadership. Dmitry Peskov, Sergei Shoigu and Arkady Dvorkovich sits in their board of Trustees. International Chess Federation should react.

Full support to GM David Navara. It is not surprising that the pro-russian FIDE covers Kramnik, who of course has no position on the war in Ukraine. For FIDE, the main issue is to get the invading country back into sports tournaments. chess.com/blog/FormerPro…
