European Club Cup 2009 Preview
Dear fellow chess players!
I'm glad to announce that I will take part in the coming Women's European Club Cup, from October 3 to October 11, 2009, for the team of Monte Carlo!
It will be the 25th European Club Cup for Men and 14th European Club Cup for Women and will take place in Ohrid (FYROM, Macedonia).
On the image above you can see the summary with all the winners of the previous Women's Eurocups. You can see that Monte Carlo has won the last two Cups, so I will try to help them win for the third time in a row! Apart from me (title GM, rating 2516) we will have in our Monaco team GM Humpy Koneru (2595), GM Pia Cramling (2535), GM Monika Socko (2476) and IM Almira Skripchenko (2448).
This year there will be 14 teams in the women's section and 57 teams in the men's section.
Almost all the leading chess players will take part in this event. All the registered teams and their compositions can be found here.
Below is the list of the titled players of the women's Eurocup. It will be a very strong event!

Very strong tournament indeed. GM's Pia Cramling 2535 on board 3 and GM Kateryna Lahno (2483) on board 4 just show how hard fought it's going to be. Good luck Alexandra!
