Press-release WCC Match 2006 |
Elista, 1 October 2006
On 29-30 September 2006, in City Chess the FIDE President has held several
rounds of negotiations with the representatives of the World Chess
Championship match participants. Despite existing deep contradictions in the
approaches for the settlement of the conflict situation, the parties have
succeeded in reaching considerable progress.
Firstly, the issue of the bathrooms for the players has been solved. The team
of V. Topalov has agreed for opening the bathrooms in the restrooms of the
players. Also, an agreement has been reached that the players will be using
the restrooms permanently assigned to each of them during the whole duration
of the match. The both teams will be provided with a possibility of thorough
inspection of the respective opponent’s bathroom.
Secondly, the members of the Match Appeals Committee with the aim of
assisting to the FIDE President in finding a solution in this conflict
situation and fully realizing the necessity to continue the match, have
submitted a letter with their voluntary resignation to the FIDE President.
The petition has been satisfied. Until the appointment of the new members and
their arrival in Elista, the functions of the Appeals Committee will be
performed by the FIDE President.
At the same time there is a continuation of the negotiations in respect of
the issues, which have remained unsettled.
The FIDE President once again addresses both parties with an appeal to meet
each other halfway in order to continue the match for the sake of the
millions of chess fans who are impatiently waiting for the peaceful outcome
of the conflict.
