FIDE Congress 2008
During the recent FIDE Congress in Dresden several important topics have been discussed and several important decisions have been taken. As I had the opportunity to participate in meetings of some committees and commissions, the Executive Board, and the General Assembly, I have decided to prepare this small report with a few comments.
Registration of FIDE
FIDE Deputy Chairman Georgios Makropoulos officially informed that FIDE had never been registered and promised to "improve" the current situation. Obviously, it was a shocking news.
New "Elite Grandmaster" title
Several officials proposed to introduce a new title "Elite Grandmaster" (higher that "Grandmaster"), due to the enormous growth of the total number of Grandmasters.

Is Talent Really That Important?
By Laura Vanderkam

Geoff Colvin argues that 'deliberate practice,' not innate ability, is the true key to world-class performance.
...It is a provocative thesis, which Colvin first put forth in a 2006 Fortune article that ignited a furious debate in the blogosphere. Like Malcolm Gladwell, who has also written a new book on top talent (Outliers), Colvin is deft at finding studies and anecdotes to back up his assertions. For example, he highlights one study which found that top violinists put in more than twice as many hours of solo practice as their lesser peers. And he describes how comedian Chris Rock hones his act at small clubs, so that by the time he plays larger venues he knows exactly how the audience will react to each joke.
