Kirsan Will Run Again For FIDE Presidency and Offers To Take A Polygraph Exam

As reported in Tass. And he'll seek to have chess in the Winter Olympics.

This is truly amusing. After having blustered that he was a) going to Washington, D.C. to clear this up with the US DoT; b)was going to sue the US government for defamation; c) would go to NYC regardless of being sanctioned......he now offers to take a polygraph test to "prove" he isn't involved in sanctionable practices in Syria. Too bad the high powered lawyers he was going to hire in the US haven't advised him that polygraph tests are generally meaningless and not admissible in court. If he talks to his ex-KGB buddy Vlad Putin, he will likely be able to get some tips for passing polygraphs as spies are trained to do.
