Dear chess friends, I am pleased to share my program with you. You can read the full program and learn more about our vision at https://t.co/18VGX2yh1j This program represents the vision, principles, and roadmap that my team and I are committed to delivering for FIDE and for the global chess community. Our vision is simple: a stronger, more transparent, more democratic, and financially sustainable FIDE that works for every federation, every player, and every continent. Most importantly, we have assembled a highly professional international team with the experience, expertise, and determination to turn this vision into reality. In the coming days, I will introduce additional members of our international team. They represent different continents, generations, and areas of expertise, united by one common goal: to build one of the strongest FIDE leadership teams ever assembled. We will work in the interests of every federation. I will dedicate all my experience, knowledge, and energy to supporting chess across the world. Our goal is not simply to manage FIDE—we want to modernize FIDE, make it more efficient, attract new partners, and create opportunities for every member federation. We are not newcomers to chess. We have already invested heavily in its growth because we genuinely love our sport. We have organized world-class events, introduced new ideas, attracted sponsors, and demonstrated that professional management delivers real results. Now we are ready to bring that same approach to FIDE. Since the start of our campaign, we have received endorsements from every continent. Our movement continues to grow because people believe in a united global chess family. Together, we can unite all nations behind one common goal: bringing chess to the Olympic Games. Together, we will attract greater sponsorship, strengthen every federation, invest in young talent, support players, arbiters and organizers, and build a FIDE that is open, transparent, accountable, and focused on delivering results. Our promise is simple: less politics, more chess. Less bureaucracy, more opportunities. Less division, more unity. Join our team. Vote for progress. Vote for the future of chess. Yours, Wadim Rosenstein
