“On December 23, 2020, the Russian State Duma adopted a law prohibiting the use of publicly available personal data without the consent of the owner, as well as granting him the right to require the operator to delete them”
Free-human-rights-world, what about doing the same?

I believe it must become a legal and moral (if you wish) standard all over the world. Without “ifs” and “buts”.
Glad that Russia is making a very clear and “radical” new law on this important matter. Hope will be followed by USA and many others

FIDE's strategy is to reduce all kinds of fees as much as possible. Following this approach, FIDE Council has decided to waive rating fees for over-the-board Rapid and Blitz tournaments held in 2021 and 2022. More events, fewer fees! https://t.co/T9RLREZqiI#FIDE #rapidblitz pic.twitter.com/rm58YpfSMD

Harmon Number. The minimum number of squares it takes on a chessboard to equal or exceed your wealth when you place a dollar on each square and double it for the next square, so $1 on A1, $2 on B1, and so on.
