These events are now confirmed as being hosted in Krakow, Poland from July 1st – 12th at the 4* Galaxy Hotel. Located right next to the medieval quarter, it looks like a very good venue. I’ve already had expressions of interest. I’ll be starting the registration process in early January, so that gives you plenty of time to consider playing. If you could let me know by the end of December if you want to play, that would be most helpful. The only requirements are the age limits and that you are a member of the WCU and registered as WLS with FIDE. Feel free to arrange your own team. Ideally you want 5 players. Keep me in the loop if you do this. Sometimes the organisers want to be paid via federation officials. Let me know if you have any questions about this event.
