Welcome to @FIDE_chess, the show where the ratings don't matter and everything is made up. Questions for FIDE:

1. How does this grow the game?
2. What about it is responsible?

This literally says, "earn [] over-the-board rating [] online".

Enormously grateful to @ICJ_Africa for the opportunity to speak in #Eswatini this weekend and to exchange with impressive lawyers working to uphold the rule of law. Lawyers continue their work in the face of fear, especially after the killing of Thulani Maseko in 2023. I share their concerns about the independence of judges and lawyers in the country and will be carefully monitoring the situation.

Lawyers must be free to work without intimidation, threats, or attacks.
