So Garry, you are running for FIDE president. How is the campaign going? Look, it’s very challenging because I literally live in a plane. I have to say that when we started, I didn’t think it would be so demanding, but then I just recognized that there are no substitutes for personal visits. And it’s not just to, you know, show up in Uganda, in Gabon, and El Salvador to shake hands. It’s about learning, because if I want to not only win the election but be a good president of FIDE and to offer my plans, how to reform the organization, how to make improvements, I need the information first hand. It’s not like reading books of what is happening here and there. All these travels help me establish a better vision of what needs to be done in the world of chess.
