Alors qu'une polémique est en cours sur l'organisation du match
entre la fédération norvégienne et la FIDE, on apprend que Paris se porte candidat pour l'organisation du match, voici le communiqué officiel accompagnée d'une lettre de Bertrand Delanoë:
Paris – 3rd of May 2013. The city of Paris, France, is ready to host the World Chess Championship Match between GM Viswanathan Anand, from India, and GM Magnus Carlsen, from Norway.
In a letter to FIDE, the Mayor of Paris Mr. Bertrand Delanoë, expresses full support to the French Chess Federation in its aim to organize the final match to take place in November 2013.
The Paris Mayor states in his letter to FIDE that “the city of Paris welcomes the French Chess Federation initiative” to organize the Anand-Carlsen Chess World Championship, and “is happy to give its whole hearted support to the French Chess Federation to successfully carry out this project.”
The offer sent to FIDE includes a €2.65 million prize fund and a €800,000 contribution to FIDE in accordance to FIDE regulations. It also offers a specific budget allocated for media coverage.
“Paris is the city where FIDE was born and ever since, chess has been part of our cultural heritage. Our Capital is looking forward to organize and welcome in the best possible conditions this Championship” concludes Mayor Delanoë’s letter to FIDE President Kirsan Ilymzhinov.
FIDE, the World Chess Federation, was founded in Paris in 1924. A world Chess Championship in Paris would be a prelude to FIDE’s 90th anniversary.
