It is unclear [to me] what Feller's current status is with the French chess federation (due to legal battles).Nigel Freeman wrote:Dear Mr. Feller
We refer to the decision made that you should hand back the prize money and the medal you received from the 2010 Chess Olympiad. This you have not done and at the Presidential Board held in Chengdu April 27th 2015, it was decided that should you not send the money and the medal back by the 7th of May 2015, that proceedings will be taken against you.
Meanwhile, your suspension will remain in place until a final decision has been made.
