 Re: World Chess Championship

According to the agreement with you, you had to make live annotations during the championship, and analyse games for the daily bulletin, a task, which was altered to annotation and interview in the press-room and the bulletin.

In the official bulletin from December 7th, you were using the interview with women World Champion GM Xie Jun to make some political statement, a fact that the Organizing Committee cannot accept.

We wish to bring to your attention, that any further statement made by you in the official bulletin, will be looked by FIDE and the Organizing Committee as a breaking of the agreement and enforce us to act accordingly.
