Athletistic / Chess. The Russian Chess Federation (RCF) will transition to the Asian Chess Federation. It is reported by Kommersant.

The organization’s executive director, Alexander Tkachev, concluded that the transition would take place in late February or early March.

The FSR will be the first Russian sports organization to move to Asia, abandoning plans to return to European tournaments.

US administration called for admitting Russian athletes to neutral status

“The FSR is confident that Russian chess players will get more playing practice in the new region, and the level of competition in Asia is now even higher than in Europe,” the publication’s article said.
