Another federation has joined our growing coalition for change. I am proud to announce the official endorsement of the Montenegro Chess Federation for my candidacy for FIDE President. Thank you for your trust. Our vision is about bringing federations together, strengthening chess worldwide, and delivering real results. Together, we will build the future of chess. 🇲🇪

♟I am happy to support Martha Fierro who is heading the wining team for the Confederation of Chess for the Americas (CCA). We have been together over the past weeks and understand the challenges the CCA federations are facing. More importantly, we have proven to them what we can do when we unite our efforts. Let’s continue to develop chess and bring in more people from all ages with different abilities and amplify the power of the federations through common efforts to improve and grow our favorite sport and hobby. The Winning Team for the Americas is: 🇪🇨Martha Fierro (President, Ecuador) 🇨🇼Paulus Berkenveld (Deputy President, Curaçao) 🇵🇾Andres Riquelme (General Secretary, Paraguay) 🇧🇴Osvaldo Zambrana (Treasurer, Bolivia) 🇬🇹Josue Centes (Member, Guatemala) 🇸🇷Rosangela Dos Ramos (Member, Suriname) 🇻🇨Israel Bruce (Member, St. Vincent and Nevis) I know these people well, and I believe they genuinely want to serve the federations and bring positive change to chess in their continent. I am also grateful for their support of my candidacy for FIDE President. Gordon and I will support their efforts in the Americas and give them all of our knowledge and resources to be able to empower all 42 federations there. Together, we share a common vision: to finally empower all federations of the Americas in the way they deserve - by listening to them, supporting them, and creating real opportunities for growth. Strong federations create a strong continent. And strong continents make FIDE stronger. I look forward to working together for a new era of cooperation, transparency, and development for chess across the Americas. 🌎🤝
