====IOC recognition====
In 1999, FIDE was recognised by the [[International Olympic Committee]] (IOC). Two years later, it introduced the IOC's anti-drugs rules to chess, as part of its campaign for chess to become part of the [[Olympic Games]].<ref name="Hindu2001IOCMedicalCode">{{cite web

<!-- The greatest controversy came in 1993, when reigning champion Kasparov and challenger [[Nigel Short]] (who had qualified through the FIDE system) broke away from FIDE to play their 1993 match under the auspices of the newly formed [[Professional Chess Association]] (PCA). This caused a 13-year split in the world title. During the split, FIDE for a time (1998–2004) ran its championships as a single knock-out tournament with games under quicker time controls, a change which proved controversial. Another controversy was holding the [[FIDE World Chess Championship 2004|2004 Tournament]] in Libya. From 2002 to 2005 FIDE failed to organize matches for the 2002 "Prague Agreement" to re-unite the world title, until the world title was finally re-unified by the [[FIDE World Chess Championship 2006|2006 Kramnik–Topalov match]].

As of 2007, the format of the World Championship looks set to change again, and has again been the subject of criticism from the [[Association of Chess Professionals]] (ACP) as well as individual players.

In 1999, FIDE was recognised by the [[International Olympic Committee]] (IOC). Two years later, it introduced the IOC's anti-drugs rules to chess. FIDE has stated that it would like chess to become part of the [[Olympic Games]].  Cognitive enhancement is now a real concern in chess competitions.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Hamblin|first1=James|title=On Cognitive Doping in Chess (and Life)|url=https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2017/03/cognitive-enhancement-paradox/519948/|access-date=21 March 2017|work=[[The Atlantic]]|date=21 March 2017}}</ref>

On June 2, 2006 [[delegate]]s from more than 150 national chess federations cast their ballots in [[Turin]], Italy, to elect the president of FIDE. The result was a clear victory for the incumbent president Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, who collected 96 votes, compared to 54 for his challenger [[Bessel Kok]].
