It's all smooth sailing once that money rolls in!<br /><br />What does this mean in the Verification report: <i>Examples of defaulting organisations in our year of account include the Women's World Championship which took place in Ukraine and the forthcoming Olympiad in Baku.</i><br /><br />I know what happened with Lviv, that they suspended the Ukrainians until they payed up, but what's up with Baku? Are they screwing FIDE over too? Is it all really going to happen?<br /><br />Also interesting that FIDE didn't get the 80000 euros from the Berlin Blitz/Rapid (2015) that Agon ran.
