FIDE Fair Play Seminar in San José, Costa Rica
From 4 to 7 November, the Fair Play Commission is organising a Fair Play Seminar in
cooperation with the FCA Costa Rica. GM Aleksandar Colovic will deliver the on-site lectures,
with contributions from Andy Howie and Vincent Geeraets via video link. A number of
important fair play-related topics will be discussed, including anti-cheating regulations, the
detection of cheating, and how to respond to clear suspicions of cheating. Participants will
also receive training in basic statistics and how to handle fair play equipment.
The seminar will take place at the Gimnasio Nacional de Costa Rica. The sessions will be held
at the start of the evening to accommodate the Central American and Caribbean Youth
