As reported in Buzzfeed and The Washington Post, it appears that Trump's man Gates met twice with Arkady Dvorkovich, the recently elected President of FIDE; once in Moscow in early 2016 where he gave a speech and then again during the transition in December 2016. Ivanka Trump earlier had Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen contact former Russian Olympian Dmitry Klokov about a Trump-Putin meeting. Klokov and Dvorkovich apparently are aware of each other through the Russian oil and gas company Rosneft and Dvorkovich’s role with Russian oil and gas regulators while Putin's Deputy Prime MInister. When the caca hits the Mueller indictment fan, FIDE may once again be sullied.
What should be done about FIDE? Replace it with a new, transparent organization.
