REPORT OF THE ARBITERS’ COMMISSION (ARB) For the 3rd quarter FIDE PB 2019

(Budapest, HUNGARY, September 7-8, 2019)

The present report covers the commission’s activity in the period between June and August 2019. It was prepared in collaboration with Nebojsa Baralic, Secretary of the Commission.

The main focus during the summer period was on ensuring daily activities and preparation of the commission’s councilors meeting planned in August in Minsk.

1. MEETINGS AND REPRESENTATION

a) EUROPEAN YOUTH CHAMPIONSHIP IN BRATISLAVA

Following the invitation by the FIDE Women commission’s (WOM) Chairman, Eva Repkova, to attend 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. Followed an exchange of ideas with the ECU AC’s Chairman, which covered subjects such as the synergy between both commissions, especially in the area of arbiters evaluation and assignment in top level events. Another meeting was held with the Chairman of the FIDE Events Commission (EVE), Ozgur Solakoglu, with a main focus on appointment processes, quotas (25% women, local arbiters vs FIDE nominated arbiters, etc.) in a view of managed human resources for the overall arbiter sector. 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. This trip was also an opportunity to discuss with the arbiters of the championship, following the invitation by the Chief Arbiter Ivan Syrovy, and share warm encouragements to them for their assignment in the championship which grouped more than 1300 players.

b) ARBITERS COMMISSION MEETING IN MINSK

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. The ARB members present were Laurent Freyd (Chairman), Nebojsa Baralic (Secretary), Panagiotis Nikolopoulos (Honorary Chairman), Shohreh Bayat (Councillor), Irina Gevorgyan (Councillor), Jirina Prokopova (Member) and Natalija Popova (Member). 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.

1 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: Anastasia Sorokina (FIDE Vice President) expressed her satisfaction in front of the dynamic shared and to see her family of arbiters working in the beautiful Minsk. Lukasz Turlej (FIDE Vice President) showed interest in the quality of the topics covered and shared encouragements to provide some visibility to the Presidential Board about the commission's achievements. Ozgur Solakoglu (EVE Chairman) congratulated for the great collaboration so far between both commissions. Geert Bailleul (ECU Arbiters Council Secretary) shared about evaluation of arbiters to be implemented in Europe. Marco Biagioli (FIDE GDPR) was consulted about data protection matters. Maciej Cybulski (SPP Chairman) and Aleksandra Dimitrijevic (OLC Secretary) also took part in the discussions. 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 Also attended the open session : IA Olexandr Prohorov (SPP Councilor), IA Rafal Faron, IA Artur Vashurin, IA Igor Vereshchagin

The complete minutes of the meeting still need to be finalized as this report is being written. A presentation is planned during the PB in Budapest to cover key elements.

2. ADMINISTRATION

a) DATABASE REVIEW, LICENSING & SEMINARS PROCESS

Day-to-day activities like licensing of arbiters or seminar registration and reporting processes were covered and improved as needs for data were raised. The commission collaborated with the newly appointed GDPR team to identify needs and ensure that we are aligned with the law.

Licensing process is quite demanding, with more than 830 requests for new National Arbiters since the beginning of the year (see graph below),while upgrades related to backlog activity or PB title activity represented approximately 500 cases so far.

FIDE IT provided some statistics about tournaments and rated players, to help us better understand the context and start projects (our own, with PDC or WOM) knowing some key data. Below is an illustration, at the continental level to keep readability, of indicators which can be interesting to follow. So far, this requests a lot of manual processing, but as soon as we have better tool, we expect to industrialize the production of KPIs.

This project is led by Shohreh Bayat, with collaboration of several commission members.

b) REGULATIONS FOR ARBITERS

An initial work was started during the commission meeting in Minsk to list gaps, inconsistencies in the writing of our regulations, so that new proposals can be proposed to the FIDE Congress.

6. COMMUNICATION

a) WEBSITE

In the period from the June 5th till the August 22nd, 2019 we published 40 news on the Arbiters` Commission website http://www.arbiters.fide.com. 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.

b) QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Questions addressed to the commission (mainly about the Laws of Chess and their application) are pooled and handled by a sub-team from the commission. This project is led by KK Chan, with collaboration of several commission members.

7. COMPLAINTS AND DISCIPLINARY

a) DISCIPLINARY SUB-COMMITTEE

The ARB Disciplinary Sub-Committee is currently being renewed. It will operate again as soon as its composition is validated.

8. APPLICATIONS TO BE VALIDATED BY THE PB

a) RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IA AND FA TITLE APPLICATIONS

For the 3rd quarter FIDE PB 2019, the Arbiters` Commission received 116 applications for Arbiters Titles. 39 IA and 77 FA title applications were submitted for consideration by the Commission. 87 applications are approved, 17 rejected, 11 conditionally approved and 1 on hold.

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%).

Appendix B contains the recommendations of the Arbiters’ Commission for the IA and FA title applications that have been submitted for approval by the 3rd quarter FIDE PB 2019 in Budapest, Hungary.

7 b) RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ARBITERS’ CLASSIFICATION UPGRADES

For the 3rd quarter FIDE PB 2019, the Arbiters` Commission received 11 applications for Arbiters` classification upgrades: - 2 category A - 7 category B - 2 category C 10 applications are approved, 0 rejected and 1 conditionally approved.

Appendix C contains the recommendations of the Arbiters’ Commission for the upgrades of the Arbiters’ classification that have been submitted for approval by the 3rd quarter FIDE PB 2019 in Budapest, Hungary.

Note to the PB on Mr. Vadim Tsypin’s application to B-category upgrade – conditionally approved to 5 years of activity as a FIDE or International Arbiter. In complement to the standard official request for upgrade from the applicant’s federation’s delegate, FIDE received 2 recommendation letters requesting to disregard the fulfilment of 5 years of activity to obtain the B-Category for Mr. Tsypin. The commission acknowledged that the applicant took great energy in boosting his career as a chess arbiter in the recent past, as also described in the letters received; being appointed in several events. This level of motivation and dedication to our sport is much appreciated, and many young arbiters show the same appetite to progress in their career. Nonetheless, the FIDE Regulations for the classification of arbiters list a few written requirements (number of tournaments and years of service) to upgrade categories. On the particular subject of the number of years of service, previous similar cases of early applications occurred, and the commission consulted the FIDE Legal Advisor before June 2019 Presidential Board Meeting, to ensure protection of the integrity of FIDE processes. The commission was requested to be strictly consistent in the way to apply the time condition. Note: instead of rejecting applications posted too early in the applicant’s career, the commission agrees to give conditional approvals to reach the 5 years of activity as an FA or IA.

c) RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ADDITIONS TO THE FIDE LECTURERS LIST

For the 3rd quarter FIDE PB 2019, the Arbiters` Commission received one requests, and recommends the following for approval by the 3rd FIDE PB 2019 in Budapest: - IA ZARUBA PETER (CZE, 351725), immediate addition to the list, as they fulfill the requirements of the FIDE regulations for the training of the Chess Arbiters.

Appendix D contains the updated list of FIDE Lecturers for Arbiters submitted for approval by the 3rd quarter FIDE PB 2019 in Budapest, Hungary.
