How strong a player is Mr. Dvorkovich though? While he did become the president of FIDE, he doesn't seem to even have a rating:

I don't know, but if the standard of comparison is Napoleon he doesn't need to be particularly good. There's even a bad opening named after him because he was known to be a mediocre player.

Right; although to be fair to Napoleon, back in his era chess was generally on a much lower level compared to nowadays.
