Совет АШП решительно осуждает и протестует против действий г-на Зураба Азмайпарашвили в качестве Организатора Кубка мира.
Запугивание и угрозы в адрес игрока, принимающего участие в Вашем мероприятии, неприемлемы. Еще в большей степени — если они сделаны прямо перед партией.

The ACP Board strongly condemns and protests the actions of Mr. Zurab Azmaiparashvili in his capacity as World Cup Organiser.
EL Consejo de la Asociación de Profesionales del Ajedrez (ACP) condena y protesta enérgicamente las acciones del Sr. Zurab Azmaiparashvili en su calidad de Organizador de la Copa Mundial.
Intimidar y amenazar a un jugador que participa en un evento es inaceptable, hacerlo justo antes de que la partida comience incluso es peor todavía.
Dear friends,
Here’s a review of our recent activities:
Cooperation with possibly the strongest open in Europe this summer, the Najdorf Memorial - ACP Open in Warsaw, that was won by our Premium Member Kacper Piorun. The tournament saw a big number of ACP Premiums who received excellent conditions and special prizes - donated by the ACP. We hope to be able to continue our cooperation with the organisers for the years to come.
We are happy to inform that based on the standings of the ACP Tour 2016, Vassily Ivanchuk received the wild card for the upcoming World Cup in Tbilisi. We wish him good luck!
The ACP Board
The ACP wishes to congratulate Premium Members Maxim Matlakov and Baadur Jobava on their excellent showing at the recently finished European Individual Chess Championship in Minsk, Belarus.
Both Grandmasters finished on 8.5/11 and shared first place, the title going to Maxim due to better tie break. Their way to the top was completely different – Maxim played a solid and controlled tournament from start to finish, while Baadur, perhaps more in line with his temperament, had a most exciting tournament: he started with 1/3 and then won an incredible 7 (!) games in a row!
Dear Members,
