• Pairings against (Belo)russian players

    From Robert Jasiek@21:1/5 to All on Fri Mar 4 12:59:14 2022
    The EGF meeting has decided that (Belo)russian players may participate
    in European tournaments under neutral flag.

    This gives rise to follow-up questions:

    1) In tournaments without flags, does "neutral flag" mean "neutral
    country in pairing programs, pairings and results?

    2) Is it correct that (Belo)russian players, if asked, need to prove
    the less important non-doping but never need to prove / declare the
    more important non-participation in / non-proliferation of offensive
    war?

    3) What about opponents of (Belo)russian players? May an opponent
    refuse to play due to his conscience? Before the start of a game, may
    an opponent demand a declaration of a (Belo)russian player about non-participation in / non-proliferation of offensive war? Would such
    an opponent receive a penalty for either action and what penalty?

    4) Should players who do not want to play against any or some
    particular (Belo)russian players (such as those not declaring
    non-participation in / non-proliferation of offensive war) not attend tournaments at all?
