100% this^ A fantastic chess player but a poor imitation of a human being.
For what it's worth I thought CS voted the right way. AD is backed by the Russian state as was Kirsan. I wonder what Gary Kasparov thinks? I'd be amazed if he would have backed AD.
The only thing that FIDE has done that has benefited me as a chess player in 20 years is the offer of DGT clocks this season. However, I think its DGT we need to thank rather than FIDE.
