“Regime Change,” Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan’s vivid, rigorous, and unavoidably depressing chronicle of the first year of Trump’s second term in the White House, is “exceptional,” David Remnick writes. https://t.co/aKfX1dVyei
The verdict: Guilty on 8 of 11 charges—unanimously on cyberbullying (6.5a) and role model failure (6.24), and by majority on dignity violations, psychological abuse, unjustified accusations, reckless cheating accusations, and failure to cooperate. Not guilty on harming FIDE’s own reputation. Notably, the panel found the FPL’s expert review didn’t definitively disprove Kramnik’s statistical system—but ruled that publicly naming players based on an unvalidated methodology, instead of using FIDE’s confidential channels, was reckless regardless. https://t.co/CUK8JoIfr9
♟ FIDE Ethics & Disciplinary Commission issues a decision in the case involving GM Vladimir Kramnik
The EDC found Kramnik responsible for multiple violations of the FIDE Ethics Code and Disciplinary Code. The Chamber found that his conduct breached provisions relating to the right to dignity and respectful treatment, safeguarding the dignity of individuals, bullying and cyberbullying, psychological abuse, responsibility as a role model, failure to cooperate with the Fair Play Commission’s investigation, and false or unjustified public accusations.
The EDC imposed a two-year worldwide ban on Kramnik from participating in FIDE chess competitions or acting in official chess functions. The final 12 months of the ban have been suspended for a probationary period of three years, meaning the active suspension is one year provided no further breaches occur during probation. In addition, the Chamber imposed 12 months of unpaid service for the benefit of the chess community as a supplementary sanction.

It's never too late to do the right thing.
I thank @IsraeliPM Netanyahu for his support, and the government ministers for their unanimous approval of the resolution I initiated for Israel's recognition of the Armenian Genocide.
Thus, Israel joins 32 countries that have fulfilled a moral duty by recognizing the historical truth, and rejecting attempts to deny it.

In my latest op-ed, I argue that today’s parade should be viewed primarily through a pre-election lens, raising concerns about the use of the armed forces in domestic political messaging and administrative resource abuse ahead of the elections.
