Oh my... we have had a major change in the game! As of right now, Makropoulos' support is at 49% - meaning that if Short manages to snag up the 9% undecided vote, he just might be able to beat Makropoulos by the slimmest of margins! Of course, one should not take for granted that he will be able to pull off such a feat, but it is safe to say that the race is getting more and more interesting!
Who do you support in the FIDE presidential election (updated poll)?
It seems that we've just seen another Makropoulos surge. About 28 votes were suddenly cast in a span of minutes, and judging from the change in levels of support (which went from 48% to 54% for one particular candidate), virtually all of them seem to have been for Makro.
Nigel Short because I only know him.
