Who is he? -the president of the world chess federation since 1995.
He believes the planet will be destroyed by aliens if people do not play enough chess!!!
What chance is there of promoting the game with someone like that in charge?
Apparently his presidency is being contested by none other than Gary Kasparov.

If that exemplified their best thinking, they never would have made it to our planet. 😞

You can recognize the aliens by their bald head and big black almond shaped eyes and greyish skin. They sometimes wear sombreros and disguise themselves like Mexicans.
