M.BOYARD: What about the Zero tolerance rule, the problem which arouse among many players, many seemed not to be happy with it since they say they’re not staying in the main hotels, where the tournaments may be taking place. Any changes to this idea?
S.DANAILOV: First of all, people are confusing it, because this is a FIDE decision and we are just obliged to adopt it because… especially, this tournament which is the part of the championship cycle. I can tell you that, although I may criticize a lot of FIDE decisions, I like this one. That’s because you know, it’s your profession, I mean when you are working in some office, you have to be there on time. You can’t be late, because otherwise, you will be fired. You have to respect the organizers, you have to respect the player, the media. For instance, the media is covering the European championship, so they want to see what’s going on, to film the beginning of the round and let’s say no one is there. I think that’s not serious. The players have to understand that this is a serious job, a serious profession and that’s absolutely normal. Whatever sport, let’s say football: did you see anyone complaining? That’s incredible, unbelievable. Did you see that in basketball, volleyball whatever sport? People are there one and a half hour in advance! Usually everybody, so come on, I mean this discussion should be closed. It’s not a big problem if you live in an other hotel. Legnica is a small city, so it’s not a problem to come five minutes before the round… So, let’s stop this and the players have to understand, they should have a conscious that this is a necessary measure, this makes chess a serious sport.
