The Ukrainian Olympic Committee decided to no longer receive money from the IOC after the Russians were admitted to the Olympic Games.
There, Polish grandmaster Jan-Krzysztof Duda refused to shake hands with Russian Denis Khismaullin. The Russian extended his hand to his opponent, but the latter declined the handshake with a gesture.
“Due to the increasing frequency of such cases, FIDE must introduce strict rules regarding pressure. If a person does not follow the rules laid down in competitions, then there is simply a fine. If you do not tighten pressure hand, you receive 10 thousand dollars. Then your brain will quickly come to its senses. This is the only correct way”, – RIA Novosti quotes Smagin.
