]]> David Llada: FIDE is shamelessly using my photo of Ju Wenjun without permission https://www.chessdom.com/david-llada-fide-is-shamelessly-using-my-photo-of-ju-wenjun-without-permission/ Wed, 02 Apr 2025 11:40:56 +0000 https://www.chessdom.com/?p=97693 “The opening ceremony has come to a successful conclusion!” – a sentence that has risen some eyebrows, or as Tarjei Svensen puts it, “I wonder how an “unsuccessful conclusion” of the opening ceremony would be?” While you ponder on this sentence, you may want to check out the schedule and details of the Women World Championship, the live games, the drawing of colors… or the latest scandal that is gearing up!

David Llada is enraged, “FIDE, which didn’t approve my petition to take pictures at the last chess Olympiad, is shamelessly using my photo of Ju Wenjun (from the Baku Olympiad 2016) for the official billboard of the Women’s match” He adds, “Needless to say, they have no rights whatsoever over this picture, and I wasn’t paid for or consulted about it. Now I’ll send them an invoice, though.”

Update: FIDE rectifies, apologizes and pays David Llada
