After the announcement of my candidacy for the presidency of the French Chess Federation on my site Chess and Strategy, I come back to you as agreed to make a first point of stage.
As you know doubtless, on March 26th of this year, Mr Diego Salazar has been revoked after three years at the head of the French Chess Federation. Whom we are for or against, this decision, taken by the very great majority of French chess clubs, is before any an opportunity to give a new impulse for Chess in France.

Context
The general assembly of March 26th did not approve the financial statement 2015 of M. Diego Salazar. It is necessary to say that the FFE presents a loss-making income statement 2015 about 170.000 Euros.
April the 23rd, executive committee proceeded to the appointment of a new Office to assure the temporary work until the next elections. This temporary office is established of members stemming from the former Executive committee. At the end of this period of temporary work, new leaders of the French Chess Federation will be elected for a duration of 4 years.
I am candidate at the election which will take place on December 10th, 2016.
I wish to renew the team of the French Federation, to raise the disastrous balance of assessment, to bring a new dynamics and especially, to develop chess.
