ANATOLY KARPOV FOR FIDE PRESIDENT
-
A new direction requires new leadership
International chess needs a new direction and this can only happen under new leadership. Mr Karpov wants to lead a program of unity and positive change. His great experience as a chess champion and UNICEF Ambassador make him the ideal leader to return the sport to prominence on the global stage. -
International support at every level
Mr Karpov’s status and dedication will allow him to be an agent for unity in the chess world. He has already attracted support worldwide as well as a leadership team and advisory panel of unmatched experience and international character.
Here is the full mission on ChessBase.
Does Karpov have a serious chance to win?
I think he would be good. He’s been around chess for so long I think he’d take FIDE forward in a very positive way. Maybe he’d change the every shorter time controls in FIDE touraments!
