FIDE has declared Magnus Carlsen and Hungarian Judit Polgar the greatest chess players of all time. After receiving the award, Carlsen said he did not want the Russian and Belarusian federations to return.
The question of the return of Russian and Belarusian athletes to the official status of national participants will be on the agenda during the general assembly of the federation, which will take place this weekend. Since February 2022, representatives of the Union State can only participate in international competitions on a neutral basis.
