The Fédération Internationale des Échecs or World Chess Federation〔''The Official Laws of Chess'', 1989, FIDE, ISBN 0-02-028540-X, p. 7〕 is an international organization that connects the various national chess federations around the world and acts as the governing body of international chess competition. It is usually referred to as FIDE (, ), its French acronym. FIDE was founded in Paris, France, on July 20, 1924.〔(World Chess Federation ). FIDE (April 8, 2009). Retrieved on 2013-07-28.〕 Its motto is ''Gens una sumus'', Latin for "We are one people". Its current president is Kirsan Ilyumzhinov. ==Role== FIDE's most visible activity is organizing the World Chess Championship (overall and for women and juniors), regional championships and the Chess Olympiad. It is recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as the supreme body responsible for the organization of chess and its championships at global and continental levels.〔 Since 1980 FIDE is a member of UNESCO〔(), Susan Polgar Global Chess Daily News and Information〕 FIDE oversees few other tournaments, although other top-level events, almost without exception, respect FIDE rules and regulations. It defines the rules of chess, both for playing individual games (i.e. the board and moves) and for the conduct of international competitions. The international competition rules are the basis for local competitions, although local bodies are allowed to modify these rules to a certain extent. FIDE awards a number of organisational titles, including International Arbiter, which signifies that the recipient is competent and trusted to oversee top-class competitions.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=FIDE Handbook ) (contents page)〕 FIDE calculates the Elo ratings of players and uses these as the basis on which it awards titles for achievement in competitive play: FIDE Master, International Master, International Grandmaster, and women's versions of those titles.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=FIDE Ratings ) (portal to other FIDE ratings-related pages)〕 It also awards Master and Grandmaster titles for achievement in problem and study composing and solving, and periodically publishes FIDE Albums of the best problems.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=FIDE Albums )〕 Correspondence chess (chess played by post or email) is regulated by the International Correspondence Chess Federation, an independent body that co-operates with FIDE where appropriate. The proposed FIDE budget for 2016 lists 2.73 million dollars in expected income, mostly for tournament registration, entry fees, and rights for the Olympiad and World Championship. In 2015, the latter two were replaced by the World Cup rights as a source of funds. For 2014, the largest expenditure is combined staff costs of the Athens, Elista, and Moscow offices, with the Development Commission close behind. Unexpectedly high legal costs were third on the list, just ahead of presidential travel.〔(Proposed FIDE Budget for 2016 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「FIDE」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
