1) Introduction

My thanks to Roland Wimmer, Olexandr Prohorov, Luiz Roberto Da Costa Jr, Istvan Brindza, Michael Atkins and everyone else who helped with this issue.

The FIDE Olympiad has just two rounds to go. China and France are the leader of the Open event and Russia seem near certain to win the women's. This of course has been a wonderful festival of chess. I've been covering the event mostly via twitter.

The news of the day was the reelection of Kirsan Ilyumzhinov for another four years which will take his tenure to 23 years. Ilyumzhinov said that he wanted to continue for the rest of his life in the excitement of winning. Ilyumzhinov won 110 to 61 against Kasparov a crushing margin of victory. For those who oppose the current leadership a switch of tactics is clearly needed because coming in from the outside every four years and saying everyone is corrupt has had a pretty full test and been found not to work.

Kasparov, if he runs again, will probably have to do so in eight years and in the mean time address all of the criticisms of him. Kasparov made some quite impressive public appearances but he really needs to get a lot better at politics.

Kasparov's major plus points are his huge passion for the game, wish to see it succeed and name recognition throughout the world. He is certainly not a worse speaker than Ilyumzhinov/ The single thing I would have done, if I'd had any influence at all, would have been to remove his direct access to his own twitter account.

Ilyumzhinov offered at least one Vice Presidency to Kasparov and his losing team (it may have been as many as five), Kasparov should accept in my view. Not least to represent the 61 voters he did get. He can be a positive force in FIDE even if he never runs again.

In Europe Zurab Azmaiparashvili also scored a large victory, against sitting president Silvio Danailov.

I personally doubt there will be a challenge to Ilyumzhinov in four years. Except if the Russian Federation decide they would rather take the leadership themselves. I just don't see anyone capable of getting any significant support for such a challenge.

Many thanks to those who have donated so far to TWIC following my appeal after my 1000th issue. I will write to those who have contributed recently. I'm very grateful and it has made a big difference to me. If you also wish to donate to help me keep TWIC going and move it forward then you can do so via PayPal at:

Hope you enjoy this issue.
