Charity? Non-profit? No profit?

Comments on lichess.org/blog/YzRtfRAAADHUEvHl/charity-non-profit-no-profit

first, Nice blog,btw

I don't know which statement from FIDE is more ridiculous: the fact that they are the ONLY non-profit body, or the are actually a non-profit body. Thank you Lichess for all you do!

No, it was figurative speech.

not literally of course

what does body mean in the context FIDE used it?

I'm thinking governing body. I wouldn't call lichess a governing body?

edit:

I looked at this

> FIDE Director General Emil Sutovsky said in an interview that FIDE is the only non-profit chess body.

I thought governing body might be the meaning, but now looking at the speech to text captions, body appears to be mean organisation/association/group of people.

registered body is the word I was looking for.

did they mean governing body or registered body?

the national level chess bodies like USCF, are they for profit?

Make the world a better place through the gift of chess!
