Ukrainian children learn chess in bomb shelters. They train without electricity while missiles target their cities. 21 Ukrainian chess players have been killed defending their country.
Russia's reward for this? FIDE just voted to welcome Russian teams back.
The vote was held in secret—"so federations who voted for it would not be called out," says Ukrainian player Angelika Valkova.
FIDE's motto is "Gens una sumus"—"We are one family." Valkova's response: "If we have in the family a member who is killing another—how can we be one family? He should be isolated. He should be punished."
Five federations have filed an appeal. The fight continues.
