Sounds like a power move by the FIDE to project dominance over its members and a way to control its public perception

Well, they had to straight back down to keep Magnus, so it makes sense that they're trying to project a little control.

Yes, indeed. And all because the most important thing they are really protecting is that they are needed at all, when the reality is that they should be unceremoniously ejected from all such endeavors, once and for all.

True democracy should be present in all organizations, guided by compassion for all its members and the communities they affect.

It's time to retire the 'old guard'.
