Re: A sad situation
No, I think it indicates that Vlad started a war and won the initial battle for the minds of the executive, which were weak against Vlad's Dale Carnegie techniques and the capital gained by doing the NFP stuff.
But Sasha knows the war is far from over, and I would bet even the FIDE election is not going to end it. Sasha warned several weeks ago that he is not going anywhere. This is just part of what he meant.
The CFC will be bloodied and bruised from all this, and an international laughing stock. I've already seen MANY condescending comments on other chess forums. It is all on the hands of the voting members for blindly following Vlad over the cliff (herd instinct).
Bindi, you are an adult now, you have plateaued and aren't going anywhere in chess, and now all the focus is on the Juniors because the CFC is transforming into a children's and Juniors chess federation. So for you, there is nothing left in the CFC except to work with children and Juniors.
But eventually, you'll have another federation to join that cares about the adults and offers them a different kind of chess where money is not scarce and you can make a decent living if you choose, and not by teaching children (although that is always possible too).
