Announcement
Sixth ICCF Veteran’s World Cup
The
ICCF Congress in Bulgaria
in 2008 decided that, following the great popularity of the first tournament
amongst older players, new Veteran’s World Cups would be started every year.
The
German Organisation Deutscher Fernschachbund (BdF) offered to organise the 6th
VWC tournaments on behalf of ICCF
working in collaboration with ICCF. Special trophies will provided by the BdF
to ICCF for winners of each tournament.
The
first stage of the 6th ICCF Veteran’s World Cup will start on 1st
September 2013.
As
with the previous VWCs, the event will be organised in three stages, which will
allow several players from each group stage to advance to the Semi-finals and
Final. The number of promotions will depend on total entries received, but it
is envisaged that groups at each stage will comprise of 13 players (12 games)
played by webserver with a rate of play of 10 moves in 40 days. Playing time in
each stage will be 18 months, with a fixed closing date specified at the
outset.
ICCF
Veteran’s World Cups are open to all players who are 60 years old or more at
the start date of the tournament. Although the number of preliminary groups
which each player may enter is unlimited, no player will qualify for more than
two Semi-final groups or more than one place in the Final.
Players
may enter through their National Federations (contact MF for amount of the
entry fee) or, where eligible, via the ICCF Direct Entry system.
Entries
via National Federations should contain player’s name, date of birth, Email
address, ICCF ID and current rating and should be forwarded by email to the
Tournament Organiser Wilhelm Moedl (email: bdf-wm@t-online.de), to reach him before 1st August
2013. It would be appreciated if Federations send entries “as received” and not
delay them until closing date.
Closing
date for Direct Entries will also be 1st August 2013.
All
veteran chess players are heartily invited to enter this tournament, both for
the enjoyment of games and friendly contact/communication with senior players
around the World.

players.
