FIDE hopes that the players will be safe? How comforting!
Thats not what the text says.

I’m a subscriber of FIDE and that’s exactly what it says.
Kirsan should put on a skirt and play in the KO without his body guards and private jet at the ready to whisk him away from danger. Then we’d see just what kind of guts he has – and what kind of man he is. Question: Did he have to bribe the locals to provide “security” for the female chessplayers?
