Chess blog for the latest chess news and chess trivia (c) Alexandra Kosteniuk, 2011
Hi everyone,
Hi everyone,
It's great joy when chess covers more people and our beautiful planet of chess lovers grows. It's heartening news that the First Chess Games for the Disabled will be held in Dresden, Germany this October.
The tournament is going to take place on a biennial basis (2011 – 2013 – 2015, etc) The first three tournaments will be hosted and organised by ZMDI Schachfestival Dresden e.V.
The competition is an event only for disabled chess players. Each world association regulates the conditions of participation.
It will be held as an open individual tournament with a separate team ranking. Any registered player must be approved by his/her association. Each team consists of four players. A provisional naming of the players should be given together with the registration of the team. Changes in the team can, however, be made until the drawing of lots.
The event is organised by ZMDI Schachfestival Dresden e.V. under the auspices of the FIDE.
Number of Rounds
The competition will be played as a 7 rounds tournament, Swiss System.
Time Control
90 min/40 moves + 30 minutes for the rest of the game with an increment of 30 seconds per move from move one.
Titles and Prizes
The winner obtains the title:
“Champion of World Chess Games for Disabled”
In the three kinds of disablements the winner obtains the title:
“Winner of World Chess Games for Disabled – Braille”
“Winner of World Chess Games for Disabled – Deaf”
“Winner of World Chess Games for Disabled – Physically disabled”
In the team competition:
“World Team Champion Chess of Disabled”
The winners will obtain gold, silver and bronze medals provided by the organizer. We furthermore have a 3000Ђ prize fund available.
The ranking depends on the number of individual points every player scored in the individual tournament. The team, which scored the most individual points is the winner. If the numbers of team points are equal there will be two titles.
Touristic events will be organised. For those persons taking care for competitors and everybody interested there will be held simultaneously at the same place an accompanying tournament.
You are welcome to register by an informal letter or fax to ZMDI Schachfestival Dresden e.V., Oskar-Mai-StraЯe 6, D-01159 Dresden or e-mail to wcgd@schachfestial.de. The organiser would like to ask for a pre-registration until Friday August 12th 2011.
