Key FIDE Handbook updates for Arbiters

A new release of the FIDE Arbiters’ Manual will be published soon. In the meantime, you will find below a list of useful links and chapters from the FIDE Handbook that may help you fulfil your duties applying the latest standards. In other words, some regulations changed recently or are about to change and it is important that all Arbiters are aware of them.
