Viswanathan Anand Re-elected FIDE Deputy President as Timur Turlov Wins Presidency
Viswanathan Anand was re-elected as the deputy president of the International Chess Federation (FIDE) alongside newly elected president Timur Turlov at the FIDE general assembly in Samarkand. Turlov, a 38-year-old Kazakhstan-based billionaire, won after two voting rounds against Wadim Rosenstein and Jan Buettner. Anand, who had served as interim president following Arkady Dvorkovich's EU sanctions-related departure, joined Turlov's ticket after initially not contesting the presidency. Delegates from 196 national federations participated in the election.
