About the report In an effort to continuously improve all aspects of FIDE’s operations, the present report was prepared to summarize activities of the Commission for 2019. The report contains:

• Activities in which the Commission was engaged for 2019 including major achievements and references to the proposed KPIs shared earlier in the year. • Feedback on what worked well for the Commission for the year. • Feedback on what can be done differently to improve the effectiveness of the Commission in its service to FIDE.

Introduction 2019 was the first year operating with the new FIDE administration and commissions. We went through different phases like discovery of existing processes and working habits; strengthening foundations and elaborating plans to deliver improvements for FIDE in the arbiters’ sector. The plan we used for this document is copying the proposed structure for Powers and Responsibilities of the Commission. Below is a visual summary by area and over time of the commission’s activities in 2019.

Activity Report Each section below contains a brief summary of significant activities and achievements by domain. Related KPI’s and/or feedback are also listed when appropriate. Management and Regulations Powers and Responsibilities The very first activity requested to the new team was to describe the Powers and Responsibilities of the commission (See Appendix 1 for the draft sent to the FIDE Legal Advisor on January 25th 2019). In the existing FIDE Handbook paragraph A02 – 2.2 about the Arbiters Commission, the defined scope was limited to a few administrative and educational items. The new definition

3 intends to better reflect the actual role of the commission and help following its operations and activities in the future. KPI – Updated Curriculum: structuring the commission by domains will support strengthening the curriculum of arbiters in FIDE. Handover in Athens (14 & 15 January 2019) A handover session was organized in Athens in January to transition between chairmen. This was the opportunity to better understand the working and processes of the commission. Thanks to a good collaboration with the honorary chairman, Takis Nikolopoulos, a baseline could be drawn to identify working areas for the short term. Councilors Meeting The new FIDE Arbiters Commission held their first Councillors Meeting at the Belarus Hotel in Minsk, August 14th to 17th, during the World Cadet Rapid and Blitz Championship 2019. While several members of the commission were on duty at the championship, the meeting was structured to foster ideation phases with the whole team, alternating with structuring phases in a smaller group. The team started by reviewing the activities covered in the first 7 months of the year, foundational actions on the way to a next level of maturity: arbiters and seminars database, upcoming KPI's, licensing and title application processes, assessment of FIDE arbiter exams, update of the FIDE Arbiter Manual... They also discussed proposals and requests, with a key focus on the appointment of arbiters in FIDE events and arbiters’ curriculum and classification: updating the whole arbiters’ framework. To emphasise the synergy with other commissions and the FIDE management, which is a key factor of success, the 3rd day's session was dedicated to exchanges with other commissions, with special guests and open to visitors. As an introduction, the chairman summarised the previous 2 days and shared his view about future developments for the commission to the audience. We had the honour to welcome a few distinguished guests from other FIDE Commissions: Anastasia Sorokina (FIDE Vice President), Lukasz Turlej (FIDE Vice President), Ozgur Solakoglu (EVE Chairman), Geert Bailleul (ECU Arbiters Council Secretary), Marco Biagioli (FIDE GDPR), Maciej Cybulski (SPP Chairman) and Aleksandra Dimitrijevic (OLC Secretary). Other key commissions for ARB couldn't be represented this time, GSC, PDC, WOM, FPL and RC, however collaboration on a regular basis is effective with them. Priorities for the short term are: - Finalising the appointment and evaluation process for FIDE events - Reinforcing the training structure (including refreshment seminars) - Clarifying regulations - Connecting with federations and national arbiters’ councils

Appendix 2 contains the Minutes of ARB Councillor Meeting in Minsk.

Update Arbiters’ Framework

As one of the main focuses during our term is improving the quality and qualifications of chess arbiters, we made a plan to modernize the sector, by first building foundations enabling us to have a better understanding of our baseline. Using a data driven approach is key for us to propose changes that will include current assets while targeting long term global improvement. In between, we chose to have an opportunistic approach on development subjects when needs were raised by federations and commissions (see development paragraph). The actual deliverables related to the arbiters’ framework update are currently being built, so this paragraph is rather a current status on the progress and proposals to come. The central topic which will govern the update of the arbiters’ framework is the arbiters’ lifecycle. Below is a summary of proposed changes: - Integrating a training seminar at IA level: while there are currently no differences in expectations on theoretical knowledge between a FIDE Arbiter and an International Arbiter, it seems more appropriate to us to implement a “certification seminar” to check that the applicant is ready to be an IA. This means a seminar mixing theory (refreshing knowledge) and review of experience. - Developing refreshment seminars: include them as requirements to be considered as an active arbiter (frequency to be defined). The objective is to have them mainly online, to make it easier to attend. - Implementing an evaluation for arbiters and improving the classification process: changing category should not only consist in attendance to tournaments but also performance evaluation, all consolidated in a proper Arbiters HR system. Also, progressing between categories needs to go through levels one after the other (e.g. avoid jumping from D to A) however the 5 year of seniority should be split (1 year D, 2 years C, 2 years B), to make the progress smoother. - Including an assessment of the level of English of applicants: in order to set the future expectations, we are studying the possibility to assess the level of all arbiters currently classified A or B, to know the actual baseline.

The Arbiters’ Lifecycle summarized above (draft version – work still in progress) also raises questions which will lead to proposed amendments in regulations, about: - Requirements to be an FA or IA - Programs of Seminars - Selection and Training of lecturers - Requirements to be nominated in World events o Implies, re-definition of categories KPI – Updated Curriculum: updating the requirements for arbiters will be key to reinforce qualifications of the arbiters’ population. Operations and Administration Due to the wide population of arbiters in chess, the ARB commission manages several operational domains on a day-to-day basis. This activity is handled in collaboration with the FIDE Office, FIDE Title and FIDE Accounting departments, in link to the FIDE Treasurer. From January to November 2019, the commission had to handle:

• thousands of license requests (1961) • hundreds of title applications (372) • dozens of training seminars (61)

Licensing The licensing process consists in declaring National Arbiters, FIDE Arbiters and International Arbiters to FIDE, so that they can work in FIDE rated tournaments. Several levels of license exist depending on the arbiter title you hold. This process already existed somehow, but was not robust (lists not always containing the arbiter’s FIDE ID, wrong name spelling or erroneous federation), so the first activity consisted in formalizing the process: 1. Maintain the list of requests for inclusion into the Arbiter database 2. Acknowledge federations and request invoice to FIDE Accounting* 3. Publish the updated information weekly on standardized data * Acknowledging license upgrade when an arbiter is awarded a new title or upgrades his category was not done in the past. This is now included in the process following title confirmations by FIDE. The table below illustrates the volume of activity related to Arbiter’s licensing:

Month License requests License Fees 2019-01 49 1,140€ 2019-02 163 5,560€ 2019-03 308 10,920€ 2019-04 110 3,260€ 2019-05 122 3,240€ 2019-06 80 1,840€ 2019-07 423 15,100€ 2019-08 105 2,560€ 2019-09 303 10,860€ 2019-10 170 3,640€ 2019-11 128 3,320€ Grand Total 1961 61,440€ Among the 1961 requests received, 1261 (64%) were related to National Arbiters, which represents an extra workload to create new records in the Arbiter’s database. Once the process was in place and the single database active, data analysis showed discrepancies between titles and license. An estimated gap around 50k€ was reported to the FIDE Treasurer and it was decided to analyse payments received on the accounting side, before getting back to federations. As we are writing this report, the gap analysis was just finalized, and federations will be consulted to choose between filling in the gap and inactivating concerned arbiters. Collaboration with FIDE accounting team (Nikos Katis and Evangelia Perissiou) and FIDE Treasurer went very well whenever we had questions or concerns. Same with Danara Shovunova in charge of the financial gap analysis. Opportunities for improvement – automating the licensing process:

• There is a huge time saving potential both for federations, the ARB commission and the FIDE Office, due to duplicate work and non-standardized way of getting in touch with FIDE to request licenses. • By including data directly into the FIDE database, the quality of information available online would be increased too.

Opportunities for improvement – licensing and inactivation concept: As part of the global arbiter framework update, a reflexion on licensing lifecycle should be led, to enhance the maintainability of the whole process. Currently, it is quite effortless, as only few controls were historically made in the area but enforcing an exhaustive license check could bring operational issues with the current regulations. KPI – Licensed Arbiters List: Published weekly, acknowledgement every Monday. Titles In year 2019 Arbiters Commission received 372 Title Applications. Applications for next Congress are not included because the process is still ongoing. Complete statistics can be found in the table below.

The commission introduced a new support process to the federations, in the area of title applications. The benefit is to avoid having applications rejected in the recommendations sent to the PB, and Federations waste money. As soon as the deadline given to federations was met, the commission reviewed applications and shared feedback to those who needed to fix some elements in their applications. As a result, more than 20% of the applications could be changed from “rejected” or “conditional” to “approved”. In the future it is advisable that we provide a checklist with necessary documentation for applicants, to reduce even more the discrepancies and make it easier for federations.

Number of Number of Total Conditionally FIDE PB IA FA Approved Rejected Applications approved Applications Applications FIDE PB 1 45 86 131 100 15 16 FIDE PB 2 44 81 125 108 11 6 FIDE PB 3 39 77 116 87 17 11 + 1 (on hold) In total 128 244 372 295 43 33+1

Note: ARB regulations specify a minimum number of norms to be achieved (3 for the FA title + 1 Seminar and 4 for the IA title). Although the minimum is enough to apply, many applications contain extra norms, often invalid, which generate some extra work at many levels (federations, FIDE employees, ARB). The commission will make proposals to reduce wasted time in that respect. As an illustration for this reporting period only, almost 120 extra norms were submitted, compared to the minimum required (+30%).

In charge for the commission: Nebojsa Baralic, Laurent Freyd, Takis Nikolopoulos, Irina Prokopova (PB 2).

In this process, we have good cooperation with Baira Marilova from FIDE Elista office, always supportive in case of questions and pro-active. Opportunities for improvement – checking tournaments So far, this area requests a lot of manual processing although we could already implement some automated checks (Google Sheets). Those checks could be integrated to the FIDE website section for title applications and hence avoid huge double entries on the commission side. Also, that would help to industrialize the production of KPIs.

KPI – Arbiters Title List: Titles updated after each PB/Congress as soon as Baira confirms awards to federations

Arbiters’ Classification For the 1st, 2nd and 3rd quarters FIDE PB 2019, the Arbiters` Commission received 47 applications for Arbiters` classification upgrades: - 7 category A - 24 category B - 16 category C 36 applications are approved, 1 rejected and 10 conditionally approved.

Applications Applications Applications Conditionally FIDE PB for Category for Category for Category In total Approved Rejected approved A B C FIDE PB 1 2 6 3 11 7 1 3 FIDE PB 2 3 11 11 25 19 0 6 FIDE PB 3 2 7 2 11 10 0 1 In total 7 24 16 47 36 1 10

Opportunities for improvement – Automated calculation Applying for an arbiter’s category is not of great added value. It would be more advisable that the categories are calculated (like a rating) and automatically updated. This is a topic in the update of our global framework.

Lecturers

During the year 2019, the Arbiters Commission received 4 applications for lecturers. 3 of them were approved and 1 conditionally approved.

According to the regulations for the training of the chess arbiters (art. 3.4), the FIDE Legal Advisor requested the commission in September 2019 that we review the population’s activity and a few arbiters (11) were removed from the list of active lecturers. For more than 4 years they had not been teaching in any seminar. All of them were informed.

Seminars and Workshops As we handed over operations from the previous administration, FIDE Arbiter Seminars were exclusively recorded on the Arbiters website, as independent news. Neither database nor structured data pre-existed which could enable the commission to manage the sector (seminars, lecturers’ activity and participants) in a data-driven way. The commission first collected available data on the website and stored them in a structured way. This now helps in the following processes:

• Seminar Management (Language, success rate indicators, statistics on specific population participation etc.) • FIDE Arbiter title application • Lecturer activity follow up

The graph below shows seminars by language over time in the last 5 years:

2019 was globally stable in number (61 seminars registered in 2019 vs 62 in 2018, while there are still 6 weeks to go) and in the split of languages. Considering the trend and the fact that most seminars funded by FIDE would be taken on PDC budget, the commission didn’t organize specific additional seminars this year. 7 Federations hosted a FIDE Arbiter seminar for the first time this year: Afghanistan, Bahamas, Lesotho, Saint Lucia, Sierra Leone, Switzerland and Turkmenistan. The table below shows the split by type of seminar and language (last 2 years):

Seminars 2018 2018 Total 2019 2019 Total Language Internet Standard Internet Mixed Standard

Arabic 2 6 8 2 3 5 English 2 34 36 2 1 31 34

In 2019, we introduced the concept of “mixed seminars” (partly online, partly in person) through 2 pilots in France and Serbia, which allow to increase the number of hours taught, while keeping the cost for the participants reasonable. There was a positive feedback on the new formula by the participants and the commission will encourage a wider use of such practices, while we update the arbiters’ curriculum. Globally this sector is running smoothly through local demand. Opportunities for improvement might include a centrally managed portfolio of seminars, but the investment required might be

10 questionable vs local initiatives which provide good results. Filling in potential gaps might be the best choice as it is the current posture. KPI – Arbiters Seminar: available in every language and spread over the globe. Arbiters Better understanding the population of chess arbiters is a must to propose the best plans for future actions in favour of development. Our first action in that respect was to put in place a standardized database, interfaced with the FIDE profiles on the rating server. The 7 distinct lists which existed (categories A, B, C, D; National Arbiters, Inactive Arbiters, Lecturers) were merged into one file; duplicates were removed names aligned to the FIDE database and FIDE Identification Numbers completed for all. 13000 names were checked individually, as well as titles and licenses. As a result, gaps between the title/category and the level of license were observed on several hundreds of entries and a check was just completed with the support of the FIDE treasurer and accounting team.

Below is a breakdown of the arbiters (13966 entries, not showing 1034 inactive, deceased etc), by Continent, Sex (M/F), Title (International Arbiter/FIDE Arbiter/National Arbiter) and Category (A/B/C/D).

Number of arbiters (excluding inactive, deceased …) by continent, sex, title, category (21/11/2019)

While the administrative data is now under control, a significant element is still missing: having an easy access to a summary of the actual activity and level of tournaments led by the different arbiters. Indeed, profiling arbiters not only on title and category will be key, when seeking candidates to be proposed to officiate in FIDE events. Contact was established with the FIDE IT admin, to share needs in that respect and have the Information System evolve in the future. This will be a foundational step towards introducing a structured HR Management system for arbiters, combining quantitative data from tournament attendance as well as the evaluation of the profiles and relevant elements from their personal resume.

The process of profiling activities of arbiters in A and B categories has been completed in FIDE World Events. 230 arbiters were reviewed and their activities during the period from January 2017 to June 2019, to understand the different kinds of profiles and attendance. Proficiency is another important element to include when profiling arbiters. However, with our current tools and data, we weren't able to check some necessary skills like their level of English. This will be a topic included in the Arbiters’ HR management system to be implemented. The work was completed in collaboration with Shohreh Bayat, councilor of Arbiters` Commission.

In charge for the commission: Nebojsa Baralic, Laurent Freyd

KPI – Arbiters Title List: Updated weekly every Monday. Development Replacing Direct Titles by Actual Experience – Pilot in Saint Lucia Current regulations article 3.10 states that “applicants from federations which are unable to organize any tournaments valid for titles or rating, may be awarded the title on passing an examination set by the Arbiters’ Commission”. While it is important to enable federations to have skilled arbiters; we consider it key to support them getting practical experience rather than giving the title simply through a theoretical examination. As a new federation intending to train their arbiters, Saint Lucia contacted the commission and we offered an alternative to direct title, which they accepted as a development plan. We organized a FIDE Arbiter Seminar in Saint Lucia, where candidates succeeding in the theoretical exam could be immediately nominated as deputy arbiter in the tournament organized in the following days. This means 2 norms (out of 4) could be achieved by at least 1 participant. Then, in collaboration with FIDE PDC and the Chess Confederation for Americas (CCA) the objective is to support placement and coaching of the candidate to obtain the missing 2 norms to become an FA. This pilot project is intended to become the norm in the future, in order to ensure that FIDE Arbiters are all equally prepared to officiate independently. On the other hand, the commission may help federations in need, to work on their national cursus. Collaboration with PDC Secretary, Sonja Johnson, FIDE Lecturer Aris Marghetis and the Saint Lucia federation was very successful in this pilot initiative. KPI – Updated Curriculum: Standardize cursus worldwide to ensure homogeneity for FIDE Arbiter title. Supporting Women Arbiter development through Seminars Following the invitation by the FIDE Women commission’s (WOM) Chairman, Eva Repkova, to take part in their meeting in Bratislava, the ARB Chairman, Laurent Freyd, attended the session dedicated to arbiters on August 5th 2019 in Bratislava. The ECU Arbiters Council (AC) was represented as well by their Chairman, Tomasz Delega. Discussions mainly covered the positioning of Women Arbiters and the support that both commissions can jointly bring to help developing the sector. A first action was launched to support women attending FIDE Arbiter Seminars around the world, under the leadership of the WOM.

On August 6th, one of the few FIDE Arbiter Seminars animated by 2 women, lecturer Jirina Prokopova, and assistant lecturer Ilaha Kadimova, was launched in presence of our chairman.

Regular Skype meetings were held between ARB Commission and WOM Commission to discuss the issues of cooperation, challenges female arbiters are facing, 'holes' based on database insight.

WOM and ARB have cooperation in the frame of Gender Equility Project funded by IOC. Until now 72 female participants’ fees have been covered from 21 different federations (table below) in 2019. Another 50 women are expected to attend the remaining seminars.

In charge for the commission: Laurent Freyd and Nebojsa Baralic. A good cooperation with WOM chairperson Eva Repkova and Secretary Ilaha Kadimova was key to implement this initiative.

KPI – Arbiters Seminar: Coverage of specific population (Women) Olympiad 2020 preparation In a view to improve qualification of arbiters officiating at the Olympiad and reduce the general negative comments which are expressed about the level of arbiters’ competency at the Olympiad, the Commission proposed to anticipate their selection and team building. The plan is to have a view as early as possible on the structure of the team and try to build pairs between “senior” and “high potential junior” arbiters. KPI – Updated Curriculum: implementing high scale development plan in Olympiad will be a lever to increase global qualifications of arbiters.

Education Exam Assessment This project is a first action in the arbiter’s training sector. In April, we asked all lecturers to provide their latest 3 exams, so that the commission can understand the current baseline. As a result, we collected 70 exams in all 7 languages used in seminars and processed them to define existing patterns. We assessed the structure of the exams in number of questions and number of points per topic vs the topics listed in the FIDE Handbook for FIDE Arbiter Seminars. Our regulations aren’t specific about the content and format of exams. Below is a summary of points distributed by topic:

Assessment of FA exam tests Topic Handbook Ref Min Max Average FA Reference Laws of chess 4.1a E01 9.76% 100% 57.04% 55% Tournament 4.1b C05 Trn 0% 20.38% 5.95% 6% Tournament Tie Break 4.1c C05 TB 0% 23.58% 5.31% 6% Swiss 4.1d C04 0% 28% 8.72% 10% Titles & Ratings 4.1e B01+B02 0% 37.80% 14.52% 15% Arbiters 4.1f B06 0% 13.86% 5.14% 3% Clocks 4.1g Clocks 0% 5% 0.55% 0.00% Anticheating 4.1h A10 0% 10% 2.77% 5%

The results of the assessment were shared in November to the population of lecturers, with a request to adapt the structure of their exams to the green percentages on the right. Emphasizing the importance of teaching anti-cheating to arbiters (increase from 2.77% average to 5%) vs administrative topics on arbiters. While we are planning the future changes like more detailed programs and topics related to behavior rather than pure technique, we want to adapt the content of teaching and exams, to tend to the "green split", so that participants all over the world could face similar kind of challenge when taking part in an FA seminar. We also adapted the seminar template which lecturers fill in their reports (duration, language, type etc) to help follow up..

In charge for the commission: Omar Salama (Arabic), Laurent Freyd (French & German), Irina Gevorgyan (Russian), Alex McFarlane (English) and Leandro Plotinsky (Spanish & Portuguese). Good collaboration by the FIDE lecturers and the team involve in the project was a key success factor and the commission is grateful to them. KPI – Updated Curriculum: Harmonization of seminars and exams through guidelines from the Commission will help standardizing the value of the title “FIDE Arbiter”. Arbiters Workshops (Refreshment Seminars) Refreshment seminars are an important lever to ensure that arbiters keep their knowledge up- to-date. A few initiatives were led in 2019 to introduce this concept. As part of the update of the arbiters’ framework, refreshment will be officially included in the Arbiter’s lifecycle in 2020, with common guidelines for arbiters and lecturers.

Five (5) “Arbiter Workshops” were hosted in Russia (Moscow and Sochi), Uzbekistan (Tashkent), Azerbaijan (Baku) and Italy (Trieste) from a local initiative with the communication support of the Arbiters` Commission.

Refreshment seminars will have to be formalized. The process now requires to be standardized under the leadership of the commission, as concluded during the Councillors meeting in Minsk. More details to follow in the meeting minutes (Appendix 2). Thanks to the organizers of the 5 seminars who provided practical experience to build the future standards. KPI – Updated Curriculum: including theoretical refreshment courses will support continuous improvement of arbiters’ skills. Lecturer certification – Pilot As Solomon Islands wished to organize their second FA Seminar, they were struggling to find an available lecturer able to teach at the dates of the seminar, at a reasonable travel cost. A solution was found by giving an exceptional authorization to teach to IA Shaun Press, already holding 2 assistant lecturer experiences and being many years Secretary and Councilor in several FIDE commissions. As a counterpart, the lecturer was closely supervised by the commission about the content of his lectures. The topic was discussed in the Councilor’s meeting in Minsk, where the conclusion was that in general, the lecturers’ lifecycle should be reinforced, including assessment of teaching skills. Note: a complaint was later sent to FIDE about that particular case, without knowing details about the appointing and supervision process, which is a lesson for us to better advertise our innovative initiatives in the future. KPI – Updated Curriculum: Requesting actual demonstration of skills, in complement to assistant lecturer experiences, is important to ensure quality of teaching. Official FIDE Events Arbiters Profiling – IMSA and Q4 Tournaments Selection of arbiters in world events is a key topic raised by the FIDE Presidential board. The commission started designing a full system and formalized an overall process in the Councillor’s meeting in Minsk, nevertheless a few critical elements need to be put under control before designing detailed rules and publishing regulations. That’s why it was agreed with the FIDE President to first work on a pragmatic basis by profiling arbiters and providing a list of potential candidates for the 4th semester 2019 events, by the 1st of October 2019. This followed a successful collaboration with FIDE International Director in order to select arbiters for IMSA Games 2019 earlier in the year.

In a second step, new regulations will be written as part of the upgrade of the arbiters’ global framework. Elements to consider from actual tournaments: - Historical positioning of organizers in selecting arbiters, where budget has priority vs qualifications. - Lack of enforcement of published arbiters’ regulations on category of arbiters allowed in world events. The table below is an analysis of assignments for 2019 – scope is World Events:

*Events counted as Major World: Women’s Candidate, World Cup, Grand Prix, Women Grand Prix, Grand Swiss, World Team, (World Rapid and Blitz – not yet reported), World Junior, World Youth, World Cadet, World Youth Rapid & Blitz, World Cadet Rapid and Blitz.

**Events counted as Other World: (World Senior – not yet reported), World Senior Team, World U16 Olympiad, World School, World Junior with Disabilities, World Amateur In 2019, most of the assignments were made the “traditional” way, mainly leaving it to the organizer to choose the arbiters. As a result, we can observe: - 163 of 251 assignments not compliant with the regulations of the classification of arbiters article 5.2 (64,9%), that includes 4 Chief Arbiters and 23 Deputy Chief Arbiters. - 37 arbiters were appointed in a world event, while their FIDE profile displays less than 3 events ever (20 of them appear for the first time in a world event), that includes 2 Deputy Chief Arbiters. That raises a serious question on the credibility of the whole system of classification: either the regulation is not applicable, or the level of supervision and enforcement is too low. In any case, the commission would benefit of being more involved in arbiters’ assignments, as far as the idea is to have a better management of arbiters’ HR globally and support a supervised development of the sector in FIDE. Collaboration with Event Commission’s chairman Ozgur Solakoglu, FIDE International Director Mohd Al-Mudahka and GSC Chairman Emil Sutovsky helped better understanding the challenges we will have to face when writing the regulations for the nominations of arbiters.

Opportunities for improvement – nomination of arbiters Anticipating nominations or call for interest would help in better profiling candidates for the top level events. KPI – Updated Curriculum: leadership from the commission in understanding the population and assigning qualified arbiters (incl. supporting career development). Communication and Recognition Website On the Arbiters` Commission website (http://www.arbiters.fide.com) all arbiters can find all necessary information about FIDE arbiters system, seminar announcements and reports, regulations for arbiters, guidelines, new arbiters database, Arbiters` Manual 2019, etc. In the period from 1st January to 21st November 2019, we published 124 news. An updated list of arbiters we publish every Monday. A project in cooperation with the FIDE office in Elista has been started to build a new website for the ARB Commission.

The Website Administrator is Nebojsa Baralic. Facebook The FIDE Arbiters’ Commission Facebook page was inactive since 2017. The commission got the administration credentials and started animating the page again in September 2019.

Manual The Arbiters Manual 2019 Preparation Team formed by Arbiters` Commission (May 2019) has completed a new digital edition and it has been posted on website arbiter.fide.com. The new version uses texts that came into force on July 1, 2019. Collaboration with other commissions and FIDE office has been helpful in advancing this task. Thanks to them! In the next period, a printed edition should also be done. It was decided to contact the FIDE Office for a printing procedure. This project is led by Shohreh Bayat, with collaboration of several commission members.

Disciplinary After approval by the FIDE Management, new Arbiters' Commission Disciplinary Sub- committee was formed on September 16th, 2019. A few days after that, the Subcommittee started operating. The members are: Chairman: Ivan Syrovy (SVK) Members: Jaroslav Benak (CZE) and Pablyto Ribeiro (BRA) Substitutes: Klaus Deventer (GER) and Haroon or Rashid (BAN) Until now we have received 10 complaints and 2 of them escalated to Disciplinary Sub- Committee. We expect to have written decisions soon. About other complaints, some are rejected, some are waiting for more information, or they are not in jurisdiction of Disciplinary Subcommittee. A meeting is expected to improve the assignment and filtering process in collaboration with the FIDE Office.

Conclusion 2019 was a foundational year, where some activities were structured in order to make the future easier to build. It means that the focus on reinforcing operational processes was higher than what will be expected in the future, especially if we can benefit from some automations needed. The next steps will require more focus on updating the regulations and implementing a proper arbiters HR management system, so that we can better support the improvement in qualifications for our population of arbiters. Budgeting for 2019 was done during the early stage of “discovery”, mainly including topics related to ongoing activities. This means that we didn’t include big building steps, but we will need some investments aligned with strategic plans in the coming years. Globally, 2019 was a positive year for the commission, with a good commitment from people involved in projects and day-to-day activities; also a clearer view on the needs for evolutions in the coming years and setting up collaborative relationships with other commissions and chess bodies.

General information about the meeting The meeting of the Arbiters Commission was held at the Hotel Belarus in Minsk from 14-17th August 2019 during World Youth Rapid and Blitz Championship 2019.

Because several members of the Commission were working as arbiters, some sessions of the meeting were held with different number of participants.

On the third day of meeting (16th August 2019 from 18:00 till 21:00) we organized open session and the guests (mentioned above) joined the Commission.

DAY 1 - Wednesday, 14th August 2019, (17:00 – 21:00) 1. Welcome and introductory word by Chairman The Chairman of Arbiters` Commission Laurent Freyd welcomed the participants of the 1st FIDE Arbiters` Commission Councilors` Meeting and thanked all the Commission members for their work. Below is his introductory speech shared with the commission:

“Welcome in Minsk, where we will spend the next 4 days together for the 2019 FIDE Arbiters commission councilors meeting. We regret the absence of 2 Councilors, Mohamed El Husseiny and Leandro Plotinsky, who couldn’t join us for personal reasons and I would like to thank you, Takis Nikolopoulos, Honorary Chairman, Nebojsa Baralic, Secretary, Shohreh Bayat and Irina Gevorgyan, Councilors, for being here to take part in the important work in front of us, to continue to reinforce and develop the arbiter sector in FIDE.

We are in charge of a key sector, representing, as we speak, around 13.000 people over the world. This figure is in constant growth, with dozens of new National Arbiters declared every week by chess federations.

Obviously, we are not starting from scratch, as our predecessors initiated the implementation of key concepts for the quality of chess arbitration in the world, such as FIDE arbiter seminars and lecturers, classification of arbiters and licensing.

Some of those areas are creating appetite to ambitious arbiters, which is also needed for our global development, provided our referential of evaluation is meaningful and our practices fair.

About fairness, I believe that this is in the DNA of arbiters by definition - don’t we speak about « absolute objectivity » on many occasions ? - and we asked Takis to be a key player in the title, lecturer and classification applications, to ensure a consistent interpretation of the regulations vs the past.

About meaningfulness, this is where our challenge is, now that we are starting a new phase of maturation of existing processes. As a matter of fact, existing regulations are sometimes very clear, sometimes vague. If I wanted to be a bit provocative, I may ask whether we even define what a chess arbiter is! Regulations are our interface to the chess world. Hence we need FIDE regulations to help us ensuring:

- A common understanding of practices related to arbiters, with a maximum of clarity and transparency - A consistent level of expectations with our objectives of quality and our vision - A synergy between commissions, where related or identical concepts are used in various texts

We obviously have plenty of subjects to cover during those few days together, as you could read from Nebojsa’s email. It is quite challenging! Whatever we are capable to achieve here in Minsk, I expect that we have as the main focus to keep what is good and introduce improvements where they will help FIDE to grow. Also, it is critical for me that we think on a short-medium-long term approach, to allow us being ambitious while realistic in our steps forward. Basically, we may have hundreds of ideas or potential projects and prioritizing them into an overall plan will be needed.

Before actually launching our activities, I would like to put the accent on 2 topics which were raised by the PB since our nomination and will require our actions:

a. Scope and responsibilities of the ARB b. Appointments in FIDE events a. in a way, the regulatory counterpart to our vision. Having a vision to share is very important for us, to speak to other chess bodies and the chess community in general. b. is a new role that is expected from the commission, compared to the past. Regulating and being actively involved in the selection of arbiters for official events. While this is extremely challenging, knowing the processes and tools we currently have, I believe we have a strategic move to play, in the direction of arbiters « human resource management ». 4

About our organization here, the agenda is fixed only for today, as we will review availabilities and priorities before setting up the coming days. So, today we will have a look at our positioning and achievements so far; then have an « open session » to warm up on the subjects in scope of the ARB.

I wish us exciting days in Minsk for the success of our future works and now, let’s go around of the table, to introduce ourselves briefly and share first reactions about this short introduction.”

Following the introductory speech, the Chairman spoke about what was done in the last 7 months… (Arbiters` Database, Exam revision used in Seminars, Arbiters Manual 2019, statistics, procedures for applications…).

Particularly, he spoke about the handover meeting with previous Chairman Panagiotis Nikolopoulos, held in Athens in January 2019, and about the cooperation with other FIDE Commissions and Management.

He also spoke about overall plans for the next period.

2. Validation of meeting schedule The Secretary Nebojsa Baralic presented the schedule of meetings and with minor adjustments was adopted.

3. Discussion about work in the past and plans for the future All the participants discussed about this subject. There were constructive proposals in the field of professional development of arbiters (seminars, workshops…) and evaluation of arbiters. On the subject of evaluation, some guidelines should be formalized to the attention of Chief Arbiters, in order to actually put in place the IT4 form for evaluation initiated by the previous team. This should be in any case part of the update of the global arbiters’ framework needed.

DAY 2 - Thursday, 15th August 2019, (09:00 – 17:00)

1. Statistics in period January – July 2019

Chairman Laurent Freyd presented statistics regarding the number of arbiters by Titles and Categories, active/inactive arbiters, number of Title Applications, approved Applications, Seminars

All data are presented in detail in the 1st Quarter PB 2019 and 2nd Quarter PB 2019 Reports.

2. Publication

The Arbiters Manual 2019 Preparation Team formed by Arbiters` Commission has completed a new digital edition and it has been posted on website arbiter.fide.com.

In that edition is missing introductory messages from FIDE President Arkady Dvorkovich and Chairman of Arbiters` Commission Lauren Freyd.

In the next period, a printed edition should also be done. It was decided to contact the FIDE Office for a printing procedure.

3. Appointment of arbiters for major events After a brief introductory speech about the selection of arbiters for major events, an ideation session was organized with the team. All participants were given Post It Notes and 15-20 minutes to write down any idea on the topic, before a debriefing in common. That helped all ideas to be captured and explained to the rest of the team, before being grouped by common topic. The map below illustrates the structure which can be used by the commission when writing the future regulations on the nomination of arbiters in the FIDE World Level events:

Then, the commission summarized how the nomination process currently works (see figure below).

The final step on the topic of nomination was then to draw the future map, involving the different actors and emphasizing the need to include global plans for development for a fair and efficient system.

A central element of the system was identified as the “FIDE ARB HR Management” system, which would be the supporting element in order to understand:

- Who the arbiters are (identification, skills) - What they want (call of interest) - What their experience is (resume, FIDE arbiter profile)

4. FIDE Lecturers Participants were then introduced with statistics related to the lecturers, how many active and inactive, the number of organized seminars, the number of trainees, the success rate of participants in the lecturer’s exams.

After four years of inactivity, a Lecturer becomes inactive. It was decided to send an e-mail to the lecturers who are inactive and to inform them by the next Congress they will be deleted from the list of active Lecturers if they do not hold a seminar in the upcoming period.

5. Seminars / Workshops / Refreshment seminar The participants were introduced with statistics related to seminars, workshops in the period January - July 2019. The data about the number of seminars, the number of participants, the success rate of the exams, the statistics regarding the languages of the classes.

2 specific cases were discussed about seminars and lecturers, in a view to improve the overall quality in the future, with an opportunistic view to seek innovative ways of development:

- The Saint Lucia chess federation, a new federation, hosting a FIDE Arbiter Seminar. In an opportunistic view to improve homogeneity and qualifications of FIDE arbiters, it was offered to use this seminar as a pilot where FIDE (ARB + PDC) would support the

candidates to have a full standard cursus (1 norm from seminar + 3 norms from tournaments) instead of a direct title. Collaboration with Aris Marghetis, FIDE Lecturer, Sonja Johnson (PDC Secretary) and the Saint Lucia Federation leadership helped in agreeing on this view. - On request of the Solomon Islands federation, IA Shaun Press was exceptionally allowed to lead a FIDE Arbiter Seminar, although he is still in progress to be listed as a FIDE lecturer (2 experiences as an assistant lecturer, arbiter at international level for more than 10 years, secretary, councillor or member of various FIDE commissions in his career). The context was a lack of availability of FIDE Lecturer at the dates of the seminar and at a reasonable cost for a small federation. As a counterpart of this situation, the lecturer would be closely supervised (also providing his teaching notes etc) and the commission would use this experience as a pilot to design a certification of lecturers in the future, through actual pedagogical check in complement to being an assistant in seminars.

Also, the topic “refreshment seminars” was covered. Workshops to prepare the arbiters for the upcoming Olympiad were organized by some federations: 3 workshops were held so far, in Moscow, Tashkent and Baku. In early September, ECU is organizing Workshop and Trieste. It was agreed that some focus should be given in the coming months to include refreshment seminars in the Arbiters’ lifecycle, based on the experience from these pilot initiatives.

Shohreh made two proposals, one related to seminars and the introduction of an obligatory seminar as the norm for IA. This seminar should be in English. The proposal was welcome by the team. Still, the actual content and skills to be tested need to be defined.

6. Title Application / Category / Licenses The participants were briefed on how “Title Application” works, with the central repository introduced earlier in the year to help evaluating applications and facilitate traceability in case or future requests. Also, the number of applications submitted in 2019, the number of applications approved and rejected were shared for information.

Following a doubt on the interpretation of the regulations by Jirina Prokopova, she proposed to add one more sentence in the text to facilitate the work of the National Federations. The proposal was accepted and will be submitted for approval by the Congress.

5.4 Applications must be submitted to the FIDE Secretariat by the federation of the applicant. The National federation is responsible for the fee. The applicant’s federation may refuse to send an application based on their own evaluation of the candidate. If the applicant’s federation refuses to apply, the applicant can bring his case to the Arbiters’ Commission, who will investigate it. If it is found that there is no sufficient reason for the refusal, the applicant can appeal to FIDE and apply (and pay) for the title himself.

Concerning the classification of arbiters, from various feedback in the chess community, the possibility to jump from a category to another, without following the sequence D → C → B → A, seems questionable. The participants in the meeting agree that it would be more appropriate to follow the sequence. Was then raised the question about the 5 years of seniority to reach upper categories. Nebojsa Baralic suggested a new dynamic for the upgrading of arbiters by category and title, as below:

IA B --> A (2 years) C --> B (2 years) D --> C (1 year) FA D --> C (1 year) 9

NA Minimal seniority* *it is recommended that the National Federations include some criteria of seniority for their arbiters before they move to the FA level.

It was concluded the Commission should prepare final text of amendments for the next Congress.

7. Exams In the past period, the Arbiters` Commission formed an Exams Review Team and Commission members were selected to cover each of the 7 languages used in seminars.

56 exams were already reviewed, and results of the assessment will be used to produce guidelines to FIDE Lecturers in order to harmonize expectations from exams over the world.

The commission also discussed about ways to improve the exam system. There’s a consensus that centrally managed exams could be a solution. Ways for implementation on a large scale should be studied.

8. Disciplinary Subcommittee

The Arbiters` Commission has received several complaints in the past few months. One related to a seminar held in Rhodes and the other about irregularities concerning arbiters in Sudan.

About Rhodes case, the Commission, in agreement with the FIDE management, collected statements from lecturers and assistants and decided to renew the work of the Disciplinary Subcommittee.

All the old members were contacted and four of five are accepted to continue their work. Only President Andrzej Filipowicz from Poland is unable to continue his work due to obligations. Consent was given by: IA Carol Jarecki (IVB), IA Ivan Syrovy (SVK), IA Klaus Deventer (GER) and IA Haroon or Rashid (BAN).

Jirina Prokopova proposed IA Jaroslav Benak (CZE), lawyer and a member of the CZE Federation Arbiters` Commission to be a new member of the Disciplinary Subcommittee.

It was decided to make a proposal for the FIDE Presidential Board about new members of Disciplinary Subcommittee. After they approve them, they can start to work.

DAY 3 - Friday, 16th August 2019, (09:00 – 13:00 and 18:00 – 21:00)

On the third day, some guests participated in the work of the Commission: FIDE Vice Presidents Anastasia Sorokina (BLR) and Lukasz Turlej (POL), FIDE Event Commission – Chairman Ozgur Solakoglu (TUR), FIDE System of Pairings and Programs Commission – Chairman Maciej Cybulski (POL), FIDE Online Commission – Secretary Aleksandra Dimitrijevic (SRB), FIDE GDPR Legal Advisor Marco Biagioli (ITA), ECU Arbiters` Commission – Secretary Geert Bailleul (BEL) and some others arbiters present in Minsk: Olexander Prohorov (UKR), Igor Vereshchagin (RUS), Artur Vashurin (RUS), Rafal Faron (POL)

1. Introducing the Open Session

The Chairman of Arbiters` Commission Laurent Freyd welcomed the new participants and briefly introduced those to the work of the Commission by then. He spoke with particular reference to the great importance of the mutual cooperation between the FIDE Commissions and Continental and National Arbiters Commissions.

After that, the Vice-Presidents Anastasia Sorokina and Lukasz Turlej also welcomed all participants. They expressed their satisfaction with their presence and wished successful work. Both Vice Presidents continued their active involvement in further work on the meeting.

2. Event Commission

The Chairman of the FIDE Event Commission Ozgur Solakoglu and Laurent Freyd spoke about the Arbiters and Event Commission interactions. They remarked on the successful cooperation of the two Commissions by now and spoke about further plans in the area of selecting arbiters for major events.

After the discussion with all participants, it was concluded that there should be close cooperation between the organizers, FIDE management, Arbiters and Event Commissions. It is very important for the selection of arbiters to choose arbiters speaking different languages, especially in big children's tournaments. Generally speaking, there’s a consensus that it is important to have foreign arbiters in tournaments – and Minsk 2019 was a benchmark in the domain with 47% of foreign arbiters on a population of 57 arbiters in the tournament – probably that 20% would be a reasonable minimum to target.

Commissions will continue to cooperate closely in the future.

3. ECU The Secretary of ECU Arbiters` Commission Geert Bailleul spoke about the cooperation between continental and FIDE organizations.

The discussion was about relations between national ARB Commissions and establishing the best possible cooperation between them. Also, when a list of arbiters is done for international events, then objections to the selection of arbiters should be possible by national commissions. 11

4. GDPR

A very interesting and very important topic was data protection. Marco Biagioli, FIDE GDPR Legal Advisor briefed everyone present with the new FIDE Commission focusing on relations with the ARB Commission.

The list of Arbiters published every Monday on website arbiters.fide.com is completely secure and clean from a data protection point of view. The problems are Title Applications, which are published on the FIDE website, and contain a lot of private information. Several interesting solutions have been proposed to bring everything into safe positions.

Prior to the meeting, the commission had provided the GDPR commission with our needs in terms of data and it was concluded that good cooperation has been established and that both parties were working towards finding the best solution for personal data protection.

5. Proposal by Casto Abundo

IA Casto Abundo sent us a few proposals about implementing VAR technology in chess tournaments, to create a new title FIDE Senior Lecturer, etc. All proposals you can find below.

Proposal 1:

“Please see how VAR was used for the first time in chess in an Asian championship, see http://asianchess.com/news/uzbekistan-wins-overall-asian-schools-chess-championship/

Please discuss the following proposal at your Arbiters Commission meeting in Minsk:

1. Video Assisted Referee (VAR) is recommended for use in Rapid and Blitz chess tournaments. Players do not record moves and many tournament do not have electronic boards. It is inexpensive to video a game with a mobile phone nowadays. It is proposed to amend regulations to allow for VAR to be used when available.

Such an amendment to regulations will show FIDE and the Arbiters Commission up to date with technology.”

Proposal 2:

“Please consider my proposals for your commission meeting in Minsk: 1. To require that FIDE Arbiters have to pass an exam at an International Arbiters Workshop to apply for the International Arbiter title. 2. To create a new title of FIDE Senior Lecturer (similar to the FIDE Senior Trainer) licensed to conduct International Arbiter Workshops. FIDE Senior Lecturers have to be Class A International Arbiters and have lectured at least ten FIDE Arbiter Seminars. 3. To require passing an International Arbiter Workshop in order to upgrade one's classification. FIDE Arbiters can be either Class D or C. Only International Arbiters can be classified as B or A. 4. To require passing an IA Workshop every four years to renew IA license. 5. To require that Olympiad Match Arbiters be at least Class C Arbiters. (Now there is no minimum level).”

Commission discussed about all proposals from Mr. Casto and we decided that VAR technology already exists on the big chess events and for small tournaments that should be too much expensive at this moment.

Proposal 2.1 was similar to Shohreh Bayat’s proposal on seminars and accepted.

Proposal 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5 to be included in reflections when updating the Global Arbiters’ framework.

6. Proposal by Fair Play Commission

A few days before meeting in Minsk we sent email to all FIDE Commissions, to inform them about schedule and ask for their suggestion about topics for discussion.

We received two emails from Chairman and Secretary of Fair Play Commission.

Salomeja Zaksaite, Chairperson of FPL Commission:

“We propose a topic regarding one amendment in AC regulations - after Bologna meeting in the end of June the new rule (initially suggested by GM Konstantin Landa) was incorporated into the Regulations. The rule states that failure to cooperate with the Arbiter while carrying out anti- cheating procedures is considered as anti-cheating violation.

The rationale behind this rule was to facilitate the proving process: earlier if the person was not found with the phone, (s)he could be (most likely) disqualified from the ongoing tournament, but this was not enough for FIDE Code of Ethics Art 2.2.5 to prove/incriminate. Now, the situation turns to be simpler since one can be punished for cheating even without explicit physical evidence.

I think it would be useful to discuss within the meeting in Minsk (Belarus) what kind of non- cooperative behaviour leads/might lead to anti-cheating violation. It is important not to interpret this rule too widely, and it is also crucial to understand that Arbiter's discretion and qualification while implementing this rule plays a huge role.”

Yuri Garrett, Secretary of FPL Commission:

“I would like to add a few comments to what Salomeja wrote. In our Bologna meeting, a few topics were discussed which may impact ARB. These are: 1. The need for creating specially trained Anti-cheating arbiters (STACA). 2. The need for creating a list of Fide Anti-Cheating lecturers (something similar to ARB lecturers) so as to instruct STACAs and arbiters alike. In our vision, anti-cheating matters should only be addressed by AC specialists, as the amtter is very complex. 3. The need for providing (and implementing) some sort of disciplinary sanction for arbiters who do not check whether the organizer has materially complied with Anti-Cheating Protection Measures. This is fundamental if we want the whole AC system to work.

All these matters have a very direct impact on ARB. Also, FPC would like to introduce two specific rules.

4. «Notwithstanding similar provisions elsewhere, such as 11.3.3 of the LoC, if a player refuses to cooperate in front of a reasonable cheating-related request from an arbiter (such as, e.g., running away, refusing to allow an inspection, refusing to switch on an electronic device, refusing to be scanned) this will be considered as an outright cheating incident and prosecuted as such.» This is the provision Salomeja mentioned in her email.

5. «The organizer of a round robin or a Scheveningen tournament shall store the original scoresheets for a period of 36 months. In case a norm is achieved during a tournament, the organizer shall submit the scanned soresheets of all games played by the norm-achiever.» This is an important addition to the current requisite of filing the pgn in case of norm achievement. The provision is aimed at preventing match-fixing.

We think all these matters could be of interest to ARB.

Lastly, I wish to apologize for the very late reaction, but please consider it is August – ie a time for vacations in Italy – and that we only received the request a few days before the actual ARB meeting.”

After sharing opinions on the proposals, the commission couldn’t come to a global consensus about them. So, further discussions and/or explanations by FPC would be welcome in a view to collaborate in implementing the most appropriate solution for FIDE.

7. Proposal by Leandro Plotinsky

It was concluded that the work of social networks should be restored and that it would be a great place for Questions & Answers.
