Don't insult chess
Don't insult chess
From Media Indonesia
In a demo staged by the Women's Alliance for Electricity
Concern (APPEL) on Aug. 22, its members distributed leaflets with
the words: Eddie Widiono, chairman of Percasi (Association of
Corruption Brokers).
The All-Indonesia Chess Association (Percasi) lodges a strong
protest against the demonstrators using the name of this
organization. To our knowledge, Percasi is the only association
of the kind with this acronym.
As an official organization under the National Sports
Committee (KONI), we have 33 regional branches all over the
country with millions of members. We demand that APPEL announce a
correction of the use of our name.
All Percasi members and Indonesian chess players with decades
of activities in this game feel that we have been defamed by the
action. Weren't there other words for the demo's slogan?
