The chess world has become like a reality television show since last month, with fide at war with magnus carlsen’s freestyle Grand Slam Tour. In December Last Year, The Fide and Freestyle Chess Players’ Club (FCPC) Reached An Agreement, where the International Body officially recognized the freestyle tour. But the bone of constitution lies in the FCPC co-founders magnus carlsen and jan henric butttner also want to start an official freestyle world championship, without interference from free.
In an interview with vg recently, fcpc co-owner buettner, who is a German Entrepreneur, Lashed Out at Fide and Alleged That The Body Was Asking For 500,000 Dollars for the Rights for the RightS to Use to Use to Use to Use to Use to Use to Use to Use to Use to Use to Use to Use to Use to Use to Use to Use to Use to Use to Use to Use to Use to Use to Use the Right Buettner also stated that he would take them to court.
The FCPC Consists of the World’s Top-26 Chess Stars LIKE CARLSEN, D Gukesh, Viswanathan Anand and R Pragnanandhaa. Buettner also made a bombshell revival, indicating that fide was blackmailing players too.
He stated that fide’s contrast has a deadline of February 3, and incluse a clause YCLE for the Next Four Years. He also went on to predict
Buettner said, “I don’t think any players will sign this ridiculous contrast.”
“That’s the reason, it’s so ridiculous in so many ways. The players are uniting and trying to find someone can agre on. I can’t believe how ridiculous these people are, ”he added.
There has been no official confirmation from the likes of gukesh, anand and pragganandhaa on if they have agreed to fide’s demands, or if they are aligning with carlsen’s focPC. What makes it more confusing is that anand also serves as fide deputy president, and recently Not performing his role properly.
Meanwhile, Fide Ceo Emil Sutovsky has also responded to the accusations on x, where he has stated that the fide just just wants formal reconstruction as the governing body.
