Tuesday December 4, 2018 I've Been Thinking: It's finally happening. The international Chess Federation (FIDE) put their foot down and punished Saudi Arabia for not issuing Israelis visas to compete in a world championship that they were hosting. The FIDE warned Saudi Arabia to permit Israelis and when the Saudis did not bow to the pressure, FIDE moved the championship to Russia. It would be wonderful if other international sports organizations followed this example and showed the leadership that FIDE has just shown. Read my latest book THUGS. It's easy. Just click.
