Florencio Campomanes of the Philippines was unanimously reelected president of the World Chess Federation after his challenger, Lincoln Lucena of Brazil, withdrew minutes before the vote. Campomanes, 59, had the support of the Soviet and many Third World delegations. He has been criticized by some players, including world chess champion Gary Kasparov, for his authoritarian style. The election was held during the 27th World Chess Olympiad which ends Monday in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
