EUROPEAN SENIORS TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS 2019
MALI LOSINJ, CROATIA 17-27 SEPTEMBER
EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST
DEADLINE FOR RESPONSES: 31 MAY 2019
This announcement invites WCU members, registered as Welsh with FIDE, to contact Peter Bevan (internationaldirector@welshchessunion.uk) by 31 May if they are interested in taking part in one or other section of this event.
As usual the ESTC will be a nine-round Swiss with standard FIDE time limits and one round a day. Teams of four play in any one round but that team may be chosen from a squad of five. Teams may represent either a national federation or ‘any regional structure of a federation’ and there is no limit to the number of teams a federation may enter. But all the players in a squad must be registered with FIDE as representing the Federation making the entry. As usual there will be separate open events for teams of players all over 50 and all over 65 at the end of the
calendar year. The organisers neither meet accommodation nor transport costs.
More details of these costs, the location and its hotels and also the playing rules and timetable are to be found below.
Welsh Participation in 2019
Players responding to this note should state for which event they would like to be considered and, if they are over 65 (or will be by 31/12/19), in which section they would prefer to play. As in the past the WCU wish to give as many players as reasonably feasible a chance to participate in these events. Requests to enter Welsh club or regional sides, as well as teams representing the WCU itself, are welcomed. Players in club or regional sides must be WCU
members (as well as being registered with FIDE as Welsh)
