There's a lull in the coverage of the political situation or "experiment" in Terengganu.
Hence, decided to checkout FIDE's website to reconfirm AAG matters. Lo and behold, the Presidential nominations are published and as expected its the Incumbent against Kasparov i.e. Russian v. Russian.
The strange thing for me is that Malaysia had NOT nominated anybody. Refer FIDE INFO.
Perhaps the nomination papers are MIA or the necessary officials have not signed the papers or simply that we've taken a neutral stand so as not to antagonise anybody.
Whatever the reasons, as for now "NOTA" or "None Of The Above" is Malaysia's nomination for the post of FIDE President. Interesting times in Chess Politics. Perhaps, I need to write a newspaper column on this.
