Message from GM Sébastien Feller
Je conteste totalement les accusations de tricherie de la Fédération Française d' Echecs. Cette procédure disciplinaire est en réalité liée au fait que j'ai soutenu lors des Olympiades, l'actuel président de la FIDE en opposition avec l 'actuelle direction de la Fédération Française des Echecs. Le président de la FIDE est d' ailleurs diffamé sur le blog de Jean-Claude Moingt, lequel prétend qu 'il a bénéficié de procurations fictives.
De plus, j' ai fait état lors de conversations privées, lesquelles ont été répétées, d'irrégularités comptables de la Fédération Française (des précisions seront données ultérieurement), lesquelles ont déclenché la colère du président.
J'ai demandé à mon avocat, Me Charles Morel, d' engager une action en justice en dommages et intérêts contre la Fédération Française pour avoir de façon injustifiée cité mon nom dans un communiqué, repris sur tous les sites français et étrangers, ainsi que dans la presse internationale.
Cordialement,
Sébastien Feller

I fully deny the cheating accusations by the French Chess Federation. This disciplinary procedure has to do with my support of the current FIDE President (Kirsan Ilyumzhinov) during the Chess Olympiad (in Khanty-Mansiysk) instead of the current administration of the French Chess Federation. In addition, the FIDE President was defamed in the blog of Jean-Claude Moingt (President of the French Chess Federation) who claimed that he benefited from fake proxies.
On top of that, I mentioned in various private conversations, which were later repeated, of the irregularities in financial accounting by the French Federation (some of the specifics will be provided at a later date) which further angered the French Federation President.
I have requested for my lawyer, Mr. Charles Morel, to begin legal action for damages against the French Federation for having without reason cited my name in a statement, and it was republished by all the French and foreign sites, as well as the international media.
Cordially,
Sébastien Feller
