Incredibly stormy meeting. Procedings held up after the Ivory Coast delegates was refused recognition to ask a question.

Garry promising to cut fees by 50% from tommorrow. No fees from 2016. Budget doubled from tomorrow
Kirsan trying to bribe in his speech
Re: FIDE AGM - Andy Howie - 11-08-2014
Kirsans speech was everything Garry does I'll double. Didn't pledge to cut fees or increase the FIDE budget.
One thing about Garrys ticket. He has someone from Africa on it. Really good to see
