Power corrupts.

Re: Kovaliov playng in the World's Cup in Giorgia

Makro's response does not even acknowledge the bad behaviour of Zarub. Totally bias in favour of Zarub and lays all the blame on Anton.
Totally unacceptable. More protesting required.

Let's ban Zarub, Kirsan, and Makro from all CFC events. Symbolic action of course, but WTF, let's do it anyway.

Re: Kovaliov playng in the World's Cup in Giorgia

Makro's response is disappointingly predictable. The key sentence is the one that claims Zarub has brought $14 million in fundraising to FIDE while later proclaiming that does not mean he is not accountable. And pigs can fly.

There is one Hal's letter and reply by Makro.

The usual bullshit from FIDE. At least it makes it clear that all they give a damn about is the money (as if any of us had any doubts).

Could we see a copy of the protest letter to FIDE? Thanks.

As I understand H.Bond wrote a protest almost the same day. Now they plan to make a proper protest/appeal on behalf for Anton (read other threads)

And ... Don Cherry could do the same thing as Zurab did, after losing his temper!??: cool:

Obviously, Don Cherry has never lost his temper, as we know.

If I had a pair of shorts like Anton was wearing, I would send them off to Don Cherry :D :D

What has our «national» federation done about it so far ? Has it taken some action/protest to defend his player ? Don't wait until its too late...

Zurab's "apology" is nothing of the kind.

Certainly, it is! Zurab has proved that so many times in the past. No doubts.
