国际象棋联合会(FIDE)将于2026年9月26日在乌兹别克斯坦撒马尔罕举行大会，选举新任主席1。现任主席阿尔卡季·德沃尔科维奇因被列入欧盟制裁名单而不再参选1。
三名候选人正式进入竞争。哈萨克斯坦亿万富翁蒂穆尔·图尔洛夫被视为热门候选人1，其公司Freedom Holding Corp.多年来是该组织的主要赞助商1，但该公司已被乌克兰列入制裁名单1。德国投资者扬·亨里克·比特纳提出将FIDE收入的20%分配给全球国际象棋联合会的计划1。另一名德国企业家瓦迪姆·罗森施泰因自2022年以来组织大型国际象棋赛事1，不过其融资来源和俄罗斯商业联系引发外界质疑1。
这场选举具有历史意义。FIDE历史上将首次由非俄罗斯人担任主席1。
The International Chess Federation (FIDE) will hold elections for a new president on September 26, 2026, in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, marking a pivotal moment for the global chess governing body 1. The race will unfold without incumbent Arkady Dvorkovich, who has decided against seeking reelection after being placed on the European Union's sanctions list for his support of Russia's invasion of Ukraine 1.
Three candidates are competing for the position: Timur Turlov, a Kazakhstani billionaire widely regarded as the frontrunner; Jan Henrik Bitner, a German investor; and Vadim Rosenstein, a German entrepreneur 1. Turlov's candidacy has been backed by FIDE's establishment, and his company Freedom Holding Corp. has served as a major sponsor of the federation for several years, though the company itself has been placed on Ukraine's sanctions list 1. Bitner has proposed allocating 20 percent of FIDE's revenues to national chess federations worldwide 1, while Rosenstein, who began organizing large-scale chess tournaments in 2022, faces scrutiny over his financing sources and business connections to Russia 1.
The election represents a historic shift for the organization, as FIDE is set to have a non-Russian president for the first time in its history 1.
