Fascinating!!
I feel like a wee Westie with a ball of twine. Are some of these ‘excluded’ teams among those that are (a) experiencing visa problems; or/and (b) are supporters of the incumbent FIDE President Kirsan Ilyumzhinov?
Shock, horror … Maybe the Presidential election is really tight? How quickly can visas to Sochi be arranged?
