38-year-old Kazakh businessman Timur Turlov, a native of Moscow, was elected president of the International Chess Federation (FIDE) at the General Assembly in Samarkand, receiving 110 votes in the second round. He became the first non-Russian citizen to hold this post since 1995. Turlov renounced Russian citizenship after the start of the war in Ukraine, but is under sanctions from Kyiv. His election raised concerns about a potential conflict of interest, as his company Freedom Holding Corp was a long-term partner of FIDE. Turlov offered the post of vice-president to the adviser to the President of Ukraine Mikhail Podolyak, who accepted the offer, although the Ukrainian Chess Federation did not authorize him to represent the organization.
