Sepp Blatter watched the game of Levon Aronian
Sepp Blatter, still legal chairman of FIFA, who has recently been disqualified for 8 years, visited International Chess Tournament in Zurich. As Swiss media outlets note, he was present only at one round of blitz tournament and soon left the session hall of “Savoy” hotel. Sepp Blatter thanked Russian businessman Oleg Skvortsov, who has financed Zurich Chess Tournament since 2010. “I am happy that such an event is held in Zurich. Today I personally got acquainted with Viswanathan Anand and Vladimir Kramnik, about whom I have read much in newspapers and books. I watched the game of chess masters with pleasure. I can say for sure that the atmosphere during this tournament was like that of FIFA world cup,” said Sepp Blatter. To remind, Office of the Prosecutor General of Switzerland has instituted two criminal cases against Sepp Blatter. To remind, Armenian chess player Levon Aronian also took part in the Zurich Chess Tournament.
