Batumi (Georgia) Olympiad

Anyway, FIDE aren't stupid, they don't want to lose all those affiliation fees.

Short doesn't accept England as being the valid rep from these islands either. He was merely pointing out the anomaly that Britain has multiple country reps rather than one country to represent the UK. He joked in his initial comments on the issue that he wanted to enter a West Hampstead Olympiad team with his then near-neighbour Jon Speelman.

As to affiliation fees that's the one aspect of the new pres programme which may be of immediate benefit to CS. "We will cut immediately, or waive, fees paid to FIDE… FIDE should help federations, not the other way around."
