Norway has announced its desire to sue after the FIDE decision on Russia

The Norwegian Chess Federation plans to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) after the decision of the International Chess Federation (FIDE) to lift sanctions against Russian athletes. This was announced on December 17 by the head of the organization, Lasse Estebe Levic.

"We have decided to set up a working group to explore the possibility of filing a complaint with the CAS. Many agree that this needs to be done, but there is a concern that the costs may be too high," the NRK radio company quoted Levik as saying.

The head of the Norwegian Chess Federation noted that he certainly wants this case to be considered in court. In addition, the organization is considering filing a complaint with the FIDE Ethics department.

Only China was able to compete with the wards of Sergei Rublevsky.

Earlier, on December 14, FIDE allowed Russian players to participate in competitions with national symbols. 61 out of 112 delegates (54.46%) voted for the adoption, 51 (45.54%) voted against it. Another 14 countries abstained, and 15 did not participate in the vote or their votes were declared invalid.

Later that day, the president of the Russian Chess Federation, Andrey Filatov, said that FIDE's decision to contact the International Olympic Committee for consultations on lifting sanctions against Russian national teams was regrettable. It was noted that FIDE President Arkady Dvorkovich stated that both results were valid and the organization would consult with the IOC.
