Ethics Commission
Annex N. 65 80th FIDE CONGRESS 2009. Kallithea/Halkidiki, Greece Ethics Commission 15 October 2009 The Ethics Commission, acting in accord with its internal “Procedural Rules” and with the “Guidelines to the Interpretation of FIDE Code of Ethics”, approved by the Presidential Board and the Executive Board on 2007, discussed during the meeting ten cases, defining four of them and considering the other six as receivable, starting the consequent procedural steps as necessary to guarantee the respect of the defensive rights of the parties, in particular asking the FIDE Secretariat to inform them in writing and giving a term to present memorials and documents. It was discussed when in general it is possible to make public the names of the parties involved in a case, establishing that it is possible after the decision regarding the receivability of the case (and of course after the final decision if it is taken in the same moment of the decision on the receivability) and that this is not just possible, but even advisable, bearing in mind that the other FIDE organs or some other parties may have a relevant interest to submit a request of intervention in the proceeding. There could be exceptions related to particularly sensible subject matters. The following cases were decided: Case n. 2/08: “Georgian Chessplayers against Georgian Federation (ELIA CUP, GM George Kacheishvili and other points)” The communications submitted by Mikheil Mchedlishvili GM, Rachik Karkashashvili IA, Varlam Vepkhvishvili IA and Murad Izoria, even as “vice president of South Ossetian (Georgia) Chess Federation”, are qualifiable as “complaints” of private persons and not as a “report” by a Federation (the difference between complaint and report regarding the EC competence and its limits is explained in the “Guidelines to the Interpretation of FIDE Code of Ethics”), given that the “South Ossetian Ches Federation” is not an acknowledged member of the FIDE. -

After all twelve games of the regular part of the Championship ended in a draw, Carlsen and Caruana proceeded to a 4 rapid-games tiebreak match. Magnus Carlsen had the white pieces in the first game of the tiebreaks and picked to play the English opening. Carlsen gained the small advantage already in the opening, but after the middlegame, Caruana equalized the position and the players entered the rooks endgame with Carlsen having the pawn up. Although the position was drawish, Caruana missed right moves order for draw, and Carlsen used that opportunity to get the lead already in the first round. Caruana started sharply in the game two, and the players repeated the Sveshnikov varation, when Carlsen surprised his opponent in the opening, and took advantage very shortly after. Fabiano tried to keep the position sharp, but eventually blundered in the move 26th, and already two moves after, resigned. Magnus Carlsen needed a draw in the last game to remain the World Chess Champion position. -

The newly combined entity, now named the United States of America Chess Federation (and currently known as US Chess), primarily promoted tournament play throughout the country. More importantly, the U.S. Chess Championship, the U.S. Open, and the U.S. Olympiad team now fell under a single organizational roof and served about 1,000 members. There have been many important milestones since 1939 as US Chess grew and evolved. Bobby Fischer’s quest for the World Championship in the 1960s and 1970s, the growth of scholastic chess, the broadening of the US Chess mission beyond the organization’s singular focus of rated play, and most recently, Fabiano Caruana’s challenge to Magnus Carlsen for the World Championship. Along the way, US Chess has learned much about itself and what a powerful tool chess is. As we Second, we accept chess as a tool for the social and now look towards the century mark and approach emotional development of young people. Chess is 100,000 members, we embrace our heritage while a game where sportsmanship is core to the game’s looking for new ways to excel. As a 501(c)(3) culture. -
