Dear chess friends,

Today, I am announcing my candidacy for the presidency of FIDE.

I love chess. It has shaped my life, my way of thinking, and even the way I built my businesses. Chess deserves an organization that matches its greatness.

Today, FIDE has many dedicated people working hard for our sport. But dedication alone is not enough. We need stronger leadership, professional governance, faster decision-making, and a clear vision for the future. Our national federations deserve a governing body that listens, supports, innovates, and delivers.

That is why I have decided to run for President of FIDE.

I am proud to do so together with my running mate, Gordon Tang.

Together, we have built international companies, managed large organizations, attracted investment, and led teams across the world. We understand how successful organizations grow, how they create opportunities, and how they deliver results. It is time to bring this experience to FIDE.

Chess has enormous untapped potential. We must strengthen communication, modernize our digital infrastructure, attract new sponsors, improve marketing, invest in education, support our federations more effectively, and build a truly global chess ecosystem.

My vision is clear: FIDE should become one of the world’s most respected institutions in international sport.

And my goal is non-negotiable: FIDE needs to empower every one of its member federations.

In the coming weeks, we will present a comprehensive programme with concrete proposals and measurable objectives. We will also introduce a diverse international team of experienced professionals, grandmasters, business leaders, investors, and respected public figures who believe that chess deserves more.

We will work to strengthen every federation, create new opportunities for players of every level, develop exciting new competition formats, increase investment in chess worldwide, and continue pursuing our long-term goal of bringing chess into the Olympic Games.

This election is not about personalities.

It is about the future of chess.

The time has come to think bigger. The time has come to lead better. The time has come for change.

I invite every federation, every player, every organizer, and every chess supporter to join us.

Together, we will build the future of chess.

I had a great time hanging out with new and old friends here in Botswana. Blitz Championship tomorrow, then back home for a couple of weeks before the next one!

My fridge is in a different floor in the house than my living room, so I for one love the hydration breaks. Ronaldinho would have loved them too.

I have been avoiding Schiphol altogether for four years now. It made me miss 4-5 connections in a row. Plus, the staff was super rude (I understand they are under pressure, but that didn’t help…)

[Chris Park @CParkus]

Hey @Schiphol, what's happening? We're looking at +1hour queues and you only have 3 counters open. Surely you know which flights are scheduled to land and can plan ahead? Also, would it kill you to have AC in an airport?

Printers never work because they are an affront to God. Man was not meant to pull objects from the digital realm into the real world. Icarus is flying too close to the sun.

All the dating advice I read here seems so strange to me. Why not develop yourself as a person, learn to be kind, and find hobbies and interests you're passionate about, and then find someone who is compatible with you and your lifestyle? Why fake being a different person?

Our house rule is you don't have to go to sleep if you're reading. So my 8 year old is now reading 6th grade reading level because he likes thinking that he's getting away with staying up after bedtime. Win/win.

Mercad0na se cree que puede bajar de un 85% a un 65% la cantidad de Jamón del jamón cocido de un día para otro con el mismo envase sin que nos demos cuenta, pero nos damos. Esto es surrealista.

Trabajo hace más de 30 en el mismo lugar. Nunca ascendí de puesto, no tengo ningún cargo ni me interesa. Lo que me interesa es que vivo a 15 cuadras, que gano lo suficiente para vivir bien y que salgo a las 2 de la tarde. Duermo la siesta y veo películas TODOS LOS DÍAS. Éxito.
