FIDE letter to Ilyumshinov from today...

This is old hat. Ilyum... has pulled such shenanigans many times over. Not defending him here. He's a crony in my book. But.... this is just a group within FIDE looking for a reason to oust him. The've been trying different tactics for years. The whole organization is a mess, not just it's President.
old hat? the letter is dated today...
