FIDE PRESIDENT'S WELCOME
Dear Friends,
Let me congratulate you on the publication of the Arbiters' Manual.
I am aware of the huge amount of work put into the preparation of this important document, which includes all the necessary documents for the Arbiters to be guided by, by a team of excellent and most experienced experts in this field, led by the Arbiters' Commission's dynamic and efficient Chairman T. Nikolopoulos, and comprising such renowned personalities as G. Gijssen, F. Dapiran, W. Stubenvoll, D. De Ridder, A. Vardapetyan inter alia.
I am confident that this Manual will be instrumental in each Arbiter's work and will facilitate and enrich his/her skills in order to exercise arbiter's duties in the best way.
Commissions' daily work and brilliant organization of seminars, webinars and workshops has substantially increased the number and quality of chess arbiters throughout the world, including new Federations.
I support and welcome the work and future plans of the Arbiters'
Commission and wish all of its members and all the arbiters in the world success and good guidance to players in the tournaments of FIDE in all our 181-member Federations!
Gens Una Sumus
Kirsan Ilyumzhinov
President
