The ACP has always cared about fair play and it was after ACP's insistence that the Anti-Cheating Commission was formed in FIDE. ACP believes that the players should know what their rights are and by publishing the following FIDE documents we want to educate the players of the current state of the Anti-Cheating regulations and the corresponding Preventive Measures.

Dear Members,
In the past days we received 3 complaints about the validity of votes that had been cast, mainly revolving around the eligibility to vote of the complainant.
While the complaints are not anonymous, ACP feels it is most proper not to disclose the name of the complainants so as to protect inasmuch as possible the privacy of their votes.
After carefully checking the facts, we accepted 1 and rejected 2 complaints.
Dear Members,
