Trump and Caruana
June 17, 2018
An email from world chess today:
US President Will Meet the Challenger to the World Championship Title (If You Want Him To!)
Dear Friends,
Chess fans from the US contacted us with an idea: to petition Donald Trump to invite Fabiano Caruana, the challenger to the Title, to the White House before the World Chess Championship Match that takes place in London in November.
They published a petition today in support of this proposal at the White House’ petitions page. According to the rules, if the petition is signed by over 100,000 in 30 days, the Administration will review and possibly grant it.
We are totally supporting the idea, not only because it would be a really strong sign of support for the sport and because it would create additional attention to the Match which is already creating headlines, but also because we feel that we actually can make it happen!
If we take all of the chess community combined, it surely will be more than a 100,000 members -- it’s millions!
If you would like to see Fabiano Caruana at the White House before the Championship Match in November, please support and sign the petition.
Please share it on Social Media: #CaruanaInTheWhiteHouse
Many thanks and hope to see you all in London in November!
