The World Chess Federation’s (FIDE’s) approval of a movement to scrap the presidential term limit in its annual common meeting lately has disappointed the Armenia-born chess nice, Grandmaster Levon Aronian.
Previously, the president needed to step down after two four-year phrases in energy.
Expressing his disapproval and disappointment at the choice, Aronian mentioned at the Chennai Grand Masters chess championship on Monday: “I think generally it doesn’t matter what kind of governance, serving more than two terms always leads to trouble.
“Leadership is something that is very infectious and it is something you want to do forever.
“No matter how good of a leader you are, you are going to eventually start developing those birth traits that belong to all the leaders that stay there for too long.
“So, it’s my personal opinion. I think when you make such decisions, a lot of the good things that you do get undone. Because now you you are perceived as an usurper of the position. I don’t like that decision. And I’m disappointed with FIDE.”
