FIDE has strengthened “anti-cheating control” at offline chess tournaments – Kommersant
[ad_1]
President of the International Chess Federation (FIDE) Arkady Dvorkovich told Kommersant that the organization has sharply strengthened anti-cheating control at offline tournaments to identify grandmasters who use dishonest methods of play. Now, according to Arkady Dvorkovich, the possibility of using fraudulent methods at major tournaments under the auspices of FIDE is practically excluded.
“We use broadcast delays, more advanced scanners than before, and carefully monitor the behavior of players. I can’t completely rule out anything, but I think the chances that fraud will take place over the board at our largest tournaments are negligible,” said Mr. Dvorkovich.
According to him, at the moment the FIDE leadership does not understand whether it is necessary to disqualify grandmasters caught cheating during online tournaments. “The really difficult question is whether to disqualify players who have been reasonably suspected in online tournaments. I can’t yet formulate the optimal solution. In any case, in each specific situation, a claim must be filed with the FIDE Ethics Commission,” the federation president emphasized.
