Response to reaction

[Algimantas]

In Dutch magazine DE PROBLEMIST (DP, editor-in-chief Mr.dr. A.van der Stoep), N1, my clause “ CPI et FMJD ” (in French) (February, 2007th) has been published. In DP, N2, (April, 2007th) was answer Mr. P.Hildering “ Een reactie ” (in the Dutch language) is published.
dr. A.van der Stoep has informed, that I too have the right to the answer. dr. A.van der Stoep all over again has accepted for the publication my clause – the answer “ Response to reaction ” (in English), but after a while has informed, that clause will not publish.
I do not have claim to dr. A.van der Stoep and to legendary magazine DE PROBLEMIST because I understand (I publish SASKIU KALEIDOSKOPAS), that the editor-in-chief at any moment has the right to stop any discussion. But I think, that I have the right – to give this not published article the answer in other news media. It also I do – I give article “ Response to reaction ” on web – site FMJD and on web – site Mr. A.Kandaurov, probably, I shall publish and on what "paper" edition.

Response to reaction
Algimantas Kaciuska

I read through carefully and with interest the article of FMJD first vice-president Pieter Hildering "Een reactie" – DP, N2, 2007 February.
Positive is that one of FMJD heads states that this organization does not object for new international organizations of problemists – draughts composition organizations were established (I suggested this in my article DP, N1, 2007 January).
However I have to state that my and Mr P.Hildering‘s opinions differ in many aspects, so it is not worth to argue. But I should nevertheless show some inadequacies and mistakes found in P.Hildering‘s article (to base my statements upon I will use official letters of J.Bus to members of CPI, Commission du Problemisme. DP editors were submitted these letters):
1. J.Bus during the conference in Warsaw in response to my question confirmed that Kring Voor Damproblematiek (KvD) is not member of Koninklijke Nedarlandse Dambon (KNDB), which has already been stated earlier. I based upon this information. Later J.Bus started saying that he had not confirmed this. No minutes were drawn during the Warsaw conference (J.Bus created the minutes later, in many places inserting his own opinion as the opinion of all participants), therefore, I have got no evidences of his response to my question. But I recite J.Bus‘ letter to S.Yushkevitch (copy – A.Kaciuska), 10 – 04 – 2005:
„I agree that the FMJD and the KvD are very different organizations and that the KvD is not a part of the KNDB. As a matter of fact the KvD today has a number of members outside Holland.”
2. One of the main reasons of my conflict with P.Hildering and J.Bus was that J.Bus urged to obey his decisions, or otherwise he was saying he would apply to EB/CD FMJD (which members are P.Hildering, J.Bus, etc.), other CPI member - V.Matus – also protested against this. P.Hildering in his article says that he intended to apply to EB/CD FMJD only in the case the voting of CPI members ends in a tie. This is not true. I recite J.Bus’ letter to V.Matus (copy – A.Kaciuska), 26 – 04 – 2006:
Dear Vladimir,
„ Your remark that minority has to submit to majority is wrong. You forget what Mr. Hildring told us in Warsaw. I quote:
- Trying to reach consensus and no voting regarding important matters”
3. Standpoint of FMJD heads towards CPI, and valid international rules (RI/RIE) is shown by e.g. J.Bus’ official notification about CD FMJD (CD sitting, Sanct Petersburg, April 2006). I recite J.Bus’ notification to V.Matus, A.Kaciuska, 26 – 04 – 2006:
„Also the members of the CPI have to follow the instructions by the FMJD management. These instructions prevail over the CPI instructions (RI /RIE), but the RI /RIE have to be followed by the CPI members as well.”
4. From P.Hildering’s article (as well as from his and J.Bus’ actions) one can think that A.Kaciuska was the only person who obstructed successful activities of CPI. J.Bus wrote this in his letter to CPI members and to a couple of tens of other problemists (07 – 07 – 2006)
„I discussed a number of aspects of the organization of the second World Championship for problems (PWCP II) with Mr. Matus and we reached agreement on such aspects. However, I am obviously hindered by Mr. Kaciuska and the PWCE difficulties to give it full attention.”
Due to publicly known reasons, which are out of my control, it’s already a year I am no longer obstructing J.Bus and P.Hildering. My question: where is PWCP II, where are the promised necessary amendments in RI/RIE, where is the promised instruction for juges, where is the international problemists symposium’2007 (all this and much more was declared by J.Bus, P.Hildering during the Warsaw conference … some 18 months ago)?

Answer Mr.P.Hildering:

Dear Algimantas,
Many thanks for your response. I will not go into detail on your remarks as I consider the topic closed and not relevant for the future but there is one thing I wish to say.

The minutes made in Warsaw have been made by ME and handed over to Mr. Bus for distribution. We agreed on the fact in Warsaw that the KVD would come with an
advice for titles. This is happened and you did not agree with this decision afterwards.
Sincerely,
Pieter Hildering

Answer Mr.J.Bus:

Dear readers,

The FMJD and the CPI do not react anymore on accusations, articles, etc. of Mr. Kaciuska. We explained our position over and over to everybody interested and most of all to Mr. Kaciuska. Unfortunately also people not interested in these discussions were bothered as well.

When Mr. Kaciuska apologizes for the way he speaks in public about the Board of the FMJD and for the fact that he did not sufficiently cooperate to realize what we discussed with him in Warsaw, the FMJD /CPI will have no hard feelings and a normal relation might be reached again.

The CPI remains interested in all suggestions to improve the organization of draughts composition contests in the interest of the participants, including clarifications / extensions of the RI /RIE. There is no doubt that the FMJD respects the RI /RIE, but there can also be no doubt that the FMJD has the final responsibility for World Championships and for the way FMJD titles are granted.

Kind regards,

Jaap Bus

In my text the main thing was a question:
“ Where is PWCP II, where are the promised necessary amendments in RI/RIE, where is the promised instruction for juges, where is the international problemists symposium ’ 2007 (all this and much more was declared by J.Bus, P.Hildering during the Warsaw conference … some 18 months ago)? ”
Answer Mr. J.Bus - no comments …
