Just wondering whether in fact CS did vote for Makro as there doesn't seem to have been much if any of a public debate about this (it is possible I just missed it).
I would, however, certainly be interested to know: who CS voted for, why and, most importantly, whether CS considers the outcome to be sufficiently positive for chess to be upbeat about FIDE's future (especially if CS voted for one of the other two candidates).
The defeated Makropolous, with well over 30 years in the Deputy and latterly acting President's role, certainly had plenty of time to put a stamp on FIDE's purpose. It was at the very least arguably high time for a change … have we got a good one (I'm very cautiously optimistic)?
Any thoughts?
