Robert Huntington Story

GM Alex Baburin, founder and owner of "Chess Today" wrote an editorial text on Forthcoming FIDE Elections (CT 1913). GM Yasser Seirawan reacted to send his views on the matter for the next ezine issue (CT 1914).

And now Robert Huntington, former Associated Press chess reporter, explains how chess lost media coverage.

Nor is it only AP that has abandoned chess. A google search of Corus coverage shows the Indian press covered it extensively (thanks to Anand) but the rest of the world ignored it. While removing Ilyumzhinov from the head of FIDE is a necessary first step, it will take years of effort (and good fortune) to undo the damage he and his cronies have inflicted.
