Has Scotland's FIDE rep been informed of what happened at this event?
Just read a brief report http://www.englishchess.org.uk/images/s on the ECF site.
When was the decision taken to move the FIDE offices to Moscow? The proposed additional penalties for late arrival at the board are, to say the least, eye watering. |

The excerpt:
| Quote: | | A proposal by the Presidential Board that players who fail to appear at the start of a game, not only lose the game by default, but also give them a penalty of € 500 (a second time € 1.000 and a third time € 2.000) met a lot of opposition and was taken back. Possibly it will return next year in the General Assembly. |
made me wonder what the penalty will be for players not sat at the board for SNCL on Sunday. I cannot recall this event ever starting on time but it is FIDE so I assume we are all defaulted and pay EUR 500 to Glynis?  |

What a complete joke FIDE have become recently with these new regulations.
I can say if such a rule was brought in I would not participate at such an event. |

| I am aware of it. This was an Exec board meeting not a full GA. We will make sure we have representation at the Olympiad next year in all the relevant commissions to try and stop this madness |

500 Euro George?are you claiming it would be a first offence for all of us.
For some bizarre reason FIDE has got into a habit of creating rules that we can't follow to the letter.
The mobile phone rule requires only the phone to being the playing area rather than switched on or making a noise.
If FIDE take this to the exreme we'll end up with two versionsof chess the fide rules and the local rules. Lets go further and redesign all our pieces - from other threads it sounds like this process started in Edinburgh in 1835.  |

Perhaps they are going to introduce pressure pads on seats which will operate when your bahooki is in place. Now all that will be required is for a controller sitting there akin to Blofeld in the bond films stroking his white cat and monitoring hind ends. The culprit is known to us, I am taking the appropriate action....the implications remain frightening.
