Anand To Step Aside As FIDE Deputy President; Prez Dvorkovich Seeks Third Term
Kazakhstan Chess Federation President Timur: Five-time World Champion Vishwanathan Anand will no longer serve as the Deputy President of the International Chess Federation (FIDE) if incumbent chief Arkady Dvorkovich secures a third term in office, with Kazakhstan Chess Federation President Timur Turlov named as the candidate for the deputy's role.
However, Anand will continue to play a key role in Dvorkovich's team and support the campaign ahead of the presidential elections later this year.
Dvorkovich, who has headed FIDE since 2018, announced on Monday that he will seek a third successive term as President at the federation's General Assembly during the 46th Chess Olympiad in Uzbekistan in September. The incumbent becomes the third candidate to enter the race after Wadim Rosenstein and Jan Buettner had already announced their bids for the presidency.
