In all my interactions with Victor, he has demonstrated the highest levels of sportsmanship and integrity. In my opinion, he is ideally qualified for the FIDE rep position, offering a strong combination of leadership skills, business acumen, and a deep knowledge of Canadian and world chess. His wide experience encompasses the roles of national team captain, chess parent, and IM-strength player, which makes him well attuned to the perspectives of key stakeholders. I warmly recommend Victor for this important role.
