Rússneski stórmeistarinn Sergey Karjakin var í dag dæmdur í sex mánaða keppnisbann af siðanefnd FIDE.
Karjakin er dæmur brotlegur við grein 2.2.10 í siðareglum FIDE. Í þeirri grein segir:
„(…) Disciplinary action in accordance with this Code of Ethics will be taken in cases of occurrences which cause the game of chess, FIDE or its federations to appear in an unjustifiable unfavorable light and in this way damage its reputation.“
Í niðurstöðu siðanefndar, hvers hinn virti sænski lögmaður og mótshaldari, Johan Sigeman, er formaður, kemur fram að hann sé dæmur í sex mánaða keppnisbann frá öllum FIDE-reiknuðum mótum.
Það þýðir að Sergey Karjakin missir af áskorendamótinu í sem fram fer í Madrid í maí-júní.
Karjakin svarar fullum hálsi á Telegram-samfélagsmiðlinum.

An expected, but no less shameful decision by FIDE. All selection criteria normally applied in sports have been trampled, the basic principle that sport is not mixed with politics has been trampled.
I went through the toughest selection through the World Cup to the Candidates Tournament. Winning it would take me to the world championship match. Alas, FIDE disgraced not me, but themselves. And now we can all be convinced that the international sports officials, who have been banning Russian Olympians in recent years with or without cause, have reached chess, which has always been far from this lawlessness.
And most importantly. First of all, I am a patriot of my country, and only secondly – an athlete. If my thoughts return to the situation when I supported the president of Russia, the people and the army, then I would have done exactly the same. I do not regret anything.
Thank you very much to my fans, from whom I receive support from all over the world! Life will surely put everything in its place.
Fyrstu fréttir hermdu að Karjakin ætlaði ekki að áfrýja niðurstöðunni en allra nýjustu fréttir herma rússneska skáksambandið ætli að freista þess að fá henni hnekkt.
Karjakin himself initially stated that he would not appeal his 6-month ban but now Andrey Filatov, the President of the Russian Chess Federation, has announced that an appeal will be made soon.https://t.co/rKcvMP7lpZ

Varmaður Karjakins í áskorendamótinu er Ding Liren. Hann vantar hins fjórar skákir til að uppfylla þátttökuskilyrðin um 30 skákir síðustu 24 mánuði. Ætti kannski að skreppa til Íslands og tefla á Kviku Reykjavíkurskákmótinu?
