The primary impression that most of the contemporary world has of FIDE is probably one of corruption and power games that are completely detached from the game of chess.

There are people who think that it can be reformed and there are people who don't think that FIDE can improve, but certainly no one argues that its past proves its commitment to professionalism.

I'd say you'd be hard-pressed to find a worse performing global sport federation.
