Latest FIDE announcement

[George Murphy]

I see that FIDE have deferred the effective date for the new Regulations for Registration and Licensing of Players from 1 April 2015 to 1 July 2015. It would seem the new procedures have perturbed quite a number of Federations - as Andy (H) pointed out.

I suggest it’s these FIDE “stats” and their implications, we should be focussing on rather than overblown figures of speech.
