PCCC becomes WFCC, so why does the current 2015 World Cup...


have FIDE in front of it? I thought the efforts to become WFCC was to divorce itself from FIDE. Can someone please elucidate and explain what I'm not getting?

The FIDE World Cup is organized by the FIDE Special Project for chess composition.

Please refer to the first two paragraphs of the announcement

thanks Harry, mea culpa...I didn't know FIDE still had a composition department. It's good to see some collaboration here with this joint effort.

Despite some individuals or lobbies, there was never a general intention of the problemists to break the relations with FIDE, as far as I know.
A level of independence, but retaining the cooperation, was the main issue.
And it was actually only a formal change to match the fact that PCCC has been independent all the time, since FIDE had no formal authority for any influence on the so called 'FIDE Commission".

If I'm not quite correct about it, someone might better explain the history, but possibly without elaborating some individual disputes.
